The Twitter thread points to the fact that this is one smart whale, which sold ETH right before the Terra Luna crash. The person also bought a lot of Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens early and sold them at the peak in October 2021.
“Address “0x7617” started trading $SHIB very early, and bought ~5.5T $SHIB before the price of $SHIB rose sharply in May 2021 with a cost of only ~180 $ETH ($400K). Then address “0x7617” sold all $SHIB for more than 35K $ETH in May and October 2021,” Lookonchain stated.
Conclusion
This is proof that despite turbulent market conditions, there are always opportunities to profit. However, it’s crucial to be in control of one’s emotions as they can ruin all the trades.
