An 18-year-old trader turned $50 into over $1 million in less than a year. Sounds unbelievable? What is his core weapon? Wallet tracking.
The true source of each market cycle is not on social platforms like Weibo or Discord, but in a small group of elite wallets. In February 2024, I entered Meme coin trading with $80, only to lose it all. I lost again afterward. That’s when I realized—I was using the wrong approach.
Honestly, my previous strategy for buying Meme coins was as simple as it was naive: "This meme is funny, the promotion is good, the official website looks clean, so I buy." Sometimes I made a profit, but most of the time it was just gambling.
The turning point came. I re-entered with $50, but this time I changed my strategy—tracking KOL wallets, monitoring the movements of trading groups, and analyzing on-chain behaviors of market makers. Over nine months, by February 2025, that $50 had grown to over $1 million.
The key isn’t luck, but three things: first, learning to understand the real trading logic behind wallet addresses; second, understanding the operational routines of different roles (whales, market makers, project teams); third, strictly executing fund management discipline.
The pitfalls I encountered early on taught me that market hype and official packaging are far less reliable than on-chain data.

Basically, it still depends on real on-chain data; you can't just listen to the hype on Discord. This guy went from 50 to a million, which is impressive, but the threshold is being able to read wallets and understand the logic of the whales. Most people are still destined to suffer heavy losses.

$50 to a million? How talented is this guy... But on-chain data is definitely a skill; most of us are just blindly buying.

Wow, this story sounds unbelievable... But on-chain data really doesn't lie. I previously bought coins based on hype and ended up getting completely wrecked.

Wallet tracking is indeed an attack vector... but the guy's logic about "elite wallets" is too obvious. Once the movements of large holders are identified, it becomes ineffective. The blockchain is now filled with honeypots and disguised addresses. Unless you can audit the true intent of each transaction, you're just adding a layer of technological superstition on top of gambling. From $50 to $1 million... this data itself is like an unchecked integer overflow.

Wow, this story still sounds a bit suspicious... But on the other hand, on-chain data really doesn't lie, and it's much more reliable than those self-media hype.
