Trader Turns $160 into $150K with OpenAI's Sora

A trader recently took things to a whole new level, riding the surge of excitement over OpenAI’s freshly announced text-to-video AI, “Sora,” and converting a meager $160 into $150,000 in just 12 hours.

In the past day, 23 unique “Sora”-inspired memecoins were released on Uniswap. Most faded away, but one coin, in particular, attracted the attention of Trader, whose ID started at “0xD3c.” 

After spending $15,000 on more than 60 launches and honing his craft over a month, 0xD3c was prepared for his big break.

A trader placed a $167 bet in the SORA pool, but he was immediately subject to a 20% tax on his buy. 0xD3c remained composed despite this defeat, ranking 20th out of 37 snipers.

He chose a risky approach and held for 12 hours, which turned out to be a brilliant move.  In contrast to the majority, who sell their tokens in a matter of minutes. 

The price of SORA surged as the excitement surrounding it grew, rewarding 0xD3c’s patience with an incredible return on investment. Since then, he has sold $110,000 of his shares and made a fortune, but he still has about $40,000 worth of SORA.

While the trader’s story may interest a lot, some believe this is just an insider’s job. We would advise you all to DYOR before taking any trades.
