This is GCR.

One of the greatest traders the crypto space has ever seen.

I spent 18 hours researching his story.

Here's how he turned $3,000 into millions of dollars🧵 ↓

. @GiganticRebirth, also known as Vivek (irl name), was a gifted kid.

From Montessori to a top Private School, he was set for success...

1/13

As a smart kid, GCR got a scholarship to study computer science at Georgia Tech (2013-2017).

There he first learned about Bitcoin (in emerging technologies class).

But he didn't take it seriously, until...

2/13

He landed a software engineering job at Capital One

There, one of Vivek's co-workers onboarded him into crypto.

He invested just $3,000 (in 2017).

For 2 years, he balanced dev work with crypto trading on the side until one day everything changed...

3/13

In October 2019 he became a father.

Wanting to be a good dad he quit his job and went full-time crypto (since he could do that at home).

This is where his journey really begins ↓

4/13

During COVID, the markets were volatile, and GCR took advantage of that.

He missed the DeFi bull run due to parenting, but something else caught his eye...

5/13

While DeFi was growing fast Bitcoin was stagnant.

He knew this would change sooner or later.

So he made his first big trade: long BTC at 10k

And it worked...

6/13

BTC went parabolic to 38k.

GCR sold and opened a trade with a new thesis:

“Rotation to altcoins is imminent”

Trying to find the best ones Vivek spent weeks researching.

And he found the next plays...

7/13

In early 2021, SOL was an underdog blockchain.

After reading the docs and listening to the interview of
@blockgraze - GCR made the move.

He bought SOL at $1.5.

But he didn't stop there...

8/13

He also got into Avax.

Vivek's thesis is: "When you buy an L1 token, buy its main defi coin + memecoin too."

So he bought $JOE...

9/13

As the bull market shifted to altcoins, JOE did a 100x.

Solana followed.

Then his other trades: Moonriver, Fantom, AXS... all went parabolic.

And the best part - GCR shared all his moves on Twitter.

So people noticed...

10/13

In just 1 year he went from a no-name trader with 3k followers to being read by top VCs and 100k followers.

Since then he worked his way up to almost 300k followers despite a long bear market.

After reading his whole story the only question you might have is:

Why is his twitter name GCR?

11/13

As a kid, Vivek loved money.

In the market, "GCR" had the goal of making a lot of money, hence the name (G)etting (C)razy (R)ich

GCR's Twitter mirrors this duality, with posts of him having fun and his crypto research.

12/13

You're a legend for sticking till the end!

Here's some timeless alpha from GCR as a reward:
