A trader achieved huge profits by leveraging informational advantages during a geopolitical crisis. When the US conducted military operations in Syria and Somalia, most of the market was caught off guard, but this trader precisely timed the opportunity.
His trading record is quite astonishing: the first bet was only $30,000, ultimately earning $625,000; in the second operation, an investment of $24,400 yielded $534,000. The total return on these two trades reached an incredible 2000%. All of this was based on an asset that was priced at $0.05 at the time.
Many traders believed such a surge was impossible at that time, as the market was severely mispriced relative to true value. However, some managed to capitalize on early insights, turning seemingly impossible expectations into real profits. This case once again confirms the value of information asymmetry in the crypto market—those who possess more accurate data and sharper market intuition can profit from volatility.

This is just outrageous, a 2000% return... I suspect there's some insider information involved.
Information advantage is money, waking up too late means you can't catch up at all.
Basically, it's about betting correctly on geopolitical risks—when others panic, he's greedy.
Can an asset worth 0.05 multiply this many times? I need to see what coin it is.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been flipping coins; I should have researched the news instead.
This kind of operation is just luck-based. Can it be replicated next time?
I just want to know what information source he's using—that's the real key.

dude 2000% on geopolitical timing? that's literally just frontrunning the news cycle before the masses even know what hit them. mempool would've been absolutely toxic that day. the real question is how'd they get the signal before bloomberg terminals even updated... insider flow or just paranoid enough to monitor everything 24/7? either way, that $0.05 liquidity pool never stood a chance.

Whoa, 2000%? Did this guy really get lucky or is there some insider information...

Really? An asset of 0.05 can multiply 2000 times... This information gap is way too outrageous.

ngl, let me pull up my spreadsheet here... 2000% gains on a $0.05 asset during geopolitical chaos? data suggests otherwise on the "pure alpha" narrative. statistically speaking, this reads more like survivorship bias meets cryptographic darwinism—yeah sure, *someone* wins the lottery, but the phylogenetics don't check out for retail traders tbh
