This guy didn’t come to the secondary market to make money—he came to pull an SSR limited-edition blind box. Here’s an update on the CARDS “Pokémon whale” situation. Turns out, institutional bullets always hit harder than our mockery. Despite taking a $40K unrealized loss, they kept buying, and what they got in return was the 139% rocket in the second image. As for me, a passive participant in this epic battle, my account has finally turned green (+3.83%). A group member asked me when I plan to take profit. Are you kidding me? This is Pokémon! With a whale throwing down hundreds of thousands of dollars to pump the price, the small chips I’m holding might as well be Poké Balls bought with in-game currency. No way I’m selling—this is all about companionship. Soul-searching question: When a coin has tortured you for months and you finally break even, do you cash out like a normal person and run, or do you, like me, suddenly awaken your inner Pokémon trainer and hold on for dear life?
