Interesting on-chain drama. A certain whale started accumulating last November, buying WETH in batches at an average price of $3,085, totaling 9,043 WETH. By mid-January, unrealized gains on paper had soared to $2.87 million, and many might have thought this guy was about to take profits.



But what happened? Nothing. He didn't take any profits.

Until recently, when the market dipped, this whale hurriedly sold 3,000 WETH on the way down, earning only $30,000. Now he still holds 4,089.83 WETH, with an unrealized loss of $472,000.

From nearly $3 million in unrealized gains to current losses, the difference is close to $4 million. Honestly, such moves by big players often make people sigh. Many say it's the cost of greed, but maybe this guy had his own holding plan all along, just couldn't withstand this wave of correction. Anyway, this case is quite worth pondering—when to exit, when to hold, often comes down to a single thought.

This is a typical paper millionaire. The 3 million unrealized profit was forcibly taken, and now there's a loss of 470,000. Truly unbelievable.

This guy is truly a living example of a cautionary tale. 2.87 million directly wiped out to a negative number. Greed alone is worth 4 million.

Really, even big players have to fall for this trick, turning a 3 million unrealized profit into a loss This is the greed tax, there's no escape If you ask me, taking profits when the time is right is easy to say... Damn, this move must have been really painful

Greed really can ruin a person. 2.87 million just evaporated... This move is truly hopeless; I would have run away long ago. Another story of "I have a long-term vision" ending in being proven wrong, hilarious. Taking profits is always the hardest lesson, everyone. Making 30,000 is just too tragic; it's better to have sold everything outright from the start. If the swing fails, it’s on me; next time, I’ll be even more ruthless.
