In this part of the video, it is highlighted how GCR made significant profits by being ranked number 12 among the top traders on FTX. The focus then shifts to 2021 when Bitcoin hit all-time highs at $69,000, with widespread public attention due to Super Bowl commercials promoting cryptocurrencies. Despite the bullish sentiment, GCR advised taking profits, which was initially seen as unconventional but proved correct as Bitcoin prices later dropped. GCR further demonstrated his trading prowess by shorting multiple cryptocurrencies, making substantial profits in the process, and engaging in a high-stakes bet regarding the price of Luna, eventually leading to a challenge accepted by the founder of Luna.

In this segment of the video, the speaker recalls the massive surge of the Luna coin, with its value skyrocketing 42,000% in a year, leading to widespread trading and profits. A Twitter account predicted the exact top of Luna, causing a drastic 99% crash. The account made millions in trades, tweeted a final message hinting at retirement, and disappeared from Twitter after predicting ETH at 10k. The market then faced turmoil following Iran’s missile attack on Israel, resulting in significant losses for various sectors, including Bitcoin dropping by $10,000 in a week. Amid market chaos, the elusive GCR resurfaces with twitter advice to scale into high conviction tokens or hold firm positions without giving in to panic.

The speaker suggests that traders often overlook this strategy due to getting caught up in headlines and news. The video prompts viewers to consider this lesson when trading. The mention of GCR, who had posted a tweet about staying vigilant for the future, leaves open the question of whether they will re-enter the markets in the future.
