A wallet that received fresh funds from a major exchange right before token launch tells an interesting story. The address scooped up $NYC just 10 minutes ahead of the official announcement, catching what looked like a golden opportunity. On paper, it was brilliant—the position swung to $250k in unrealised gains. But here's where it gets tricky. Holding through the volatility proved costly. Instead of locking profits, the wallet eventually panic-sold into a -$477k loss. Classic tale of paper gains evaporating when conviction meets market pressure.

Same old story, the 250k paper profit was just lost, ending up with a loss of 477k. How fragile must that mindset be?

Damn, this is a classic case of a paper millionaire turning into a negative asset.

Hmm... That's why we say that paper gains are all虚, and having cash in hand is truly secure.

It's the same old trick. Once they make paper wealth, they start to get arrogant, but a single fluctuation can wipe it all out, even losing more than before.
