OKX shared the legendary experience of a 19-year-old Taiwanese high school student who started from $3,000 to speculate in shipping stocks, experienced explosive positions, switched to NFTs and airdrops, and finally relied on TRUMP coins and Hyperliquid to achieve a wealth class jump in the 2024-2025 bull market.

The newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, and he successfully earned about $300,000. However, the good fortune of newbies is often educated by risk. With the deterioration of the market and the use of futures leverage, Ray experienced a large drawdown, and profits were almost wiped out. Although the million-dollar trial was painful, it made him realize the risks of leverage and learned to regulate psychological stress through exercise. A year or two after returning to campus, Ray was attracted by the hot NFTs on the network and transferred the remaining funds to the cryptocurrency market. From on-chain NFT fried dogs to focusing on the airdrop track, Ray has always held a low-cost strategy of accumulating principal. His real first pot of gold came from an airdrop from Arbitrum, when he ran multiple accounts while attending school, and leveraged tens of thousands of dollars in revenue, which became the core capital of his future. The trading story of 0xRay: Leaving the market to buy Trump coins in the learning test Ray's trading style is very personal, and the most talked about is the legendary experience of “learning to buy Trump coins”. GIVE UP THE ACADEMIC TEST AND GRAB TRUMP “At that time, it happened to be Trump Coin, and I was taking the math test.” Ray describes the scene as a friend pats his window outside the exam room. Realize that this is a critical point in time. Ray decided to turn in the papers early. He rushed out of the examination room and bought a $1 million position of TRUMP tokens on the side of the road at an average price of $6~7. The position is subsequently cleared when the price has multiplied 3-4 times. Ray emphasized: “I only do the first market, although many people FOMO think it will be higher, but my personality is like this, only earn the most certain part.” Hyperliquid: an asymmetric opportunity to sharpen a sword a year Ray says that most of the money he makes during this cycle comes from Hyperliquid. While most people ignore this on-chain contract exchange, Ray is attracted by its complex algorithmic mechanism. “People don't think it's new, but I'm just stubborn.” He spent an entire year, swiping trading volumes, buying and selling spot on the platform every day. At the final opening, Ray bought all his liquidity heavily. As the token skyrocketed, his assets made a class jump. “This is the asymmetric opportunity I like, the bigger the divergence, the more obvious the opportunity,” he said. He is willing to spend more time early on and put in more capital on this opportunity. After all, the bigger the divergence, the better the chance to get a bargaining chip. Young Coin God's Trading Method: Iron Law and Mentality He revealed his key method to survive in a highly volatile market. Never touch the second paragraph of the market This is the iron law he summed up after countless losses. Whether it is the secondary market or the meme coin, he only participates in the “first stage” rally with the strongest consensus and the most emotions. He said: “The second stage of the market divergence will become bigger, the difficulty is too high, it is easy to chase the quilt cover.” Ray believes that giving up the second market is not only to lock in profits, but also to protect the principal. Acknowledge luck and embrace strength “Luck accounted for 80% in the beginning.” He modestly said he was fortunate to have avoided the protocol explosion and the hacking of his wallet. But as the volume of funds became larger, he began to voluntarily give up small opportunities, reducing the proportion of luck to 30%, relying more on the judgment and risk control of definite targets. Low materialism and imposter syndrome Despite being worth hundreds of millions, his life is surprisingly low-key. He loves to read philosophy and art books to keep his mood stable. He even admits that he has “Imposter Syndrome,” often feeling less powerful and afraid to mislead others. From time to time, traders can be seen in the cryptocurrency circle showing off their wealth on the Internet, but he said: “I used to like to show off, but then I found that self is a taboo in trading.” Now he prefers to be an ordinary student in the eyes of his classmates, and sees trading as a game to verify ideas. How High School Students Can Start Trading: Start with Fun For peers who want to enter the cryptocurrency space, Ray offers three pertinent pieces of advice: Mindset first: Don't start thinking about getting rich in the first place. Feel fun and fun first, participate more, trial and error, accumulate experience is more important than making money. Small capital start: When the funds are low, try low-cost opportunities such as airdrops and free mint. Although slow, it has low risk and can be familiar with the operation of the market. Protect your principal: Dare to bet on promising opportunities, but never use high leverage. When the market is bad, it is better not to operate than to keep the principal. When it comes to the future, the 19-year-old shows maturity beyond his age. In the short term, he plans to finish college to make up for his suspension. On the investment side, as the crypto market has changed, he has begun to shift some of his funds to the more stable US stock market. “Wealth is just an accessory for me, health, emotional stability, and the ability to always do what I love are the most important things.” Ray said. The story of this post-05 trader may be full of legends of survivorship bias, but his awe of the market, insight into human nature and self-restraint are undoubtedly topics worth pondering for every trader. Interestingly, despite the unclear transaction of Ray by the native family…
