When the data of a blockchain analysis firm was examined, an investor who earned millions of dollars by opening a long position in Ethereum four months ago was seen to have lost almost all his earnings in a short time. The investor increased his initial capital to $ 29.6 million with gradual purchases of 125,000 dollars and closed his position with a profit of $ 6.86 million at the beginning of this week.
