$70 to $150K — Not Luck, a Workflow
How Odo turned $70 into about $150K on $CENTS during the AI meta — his edge from Truth Terminal's follows, risk-free exits, and trading rules.
🎙️ GMGN User Stories · Episode 07 · A series where we listen to the people on the other side of the screen talk about how they actually trade.
Episode 07 features Odo. Got into crypto in 2020 starting with XRP, learned the ropes through the NFT cycle, then pivoted to memecoins after the 2022 bear market. Found his edge early in the AI meta by scraping Truth Terminal’s following list, and ran a few thousand dollars up to seven figures. His approach isn’t dramatic — it’s built on discipline and consistency.

About me
I’m Odo. First got into crypto back in 2020, shortly before COVID hit. The first coin I ever bought was XRP (typical).
I was a broke college kid at the time, so I didn’t have much. But I somehow stumbled upon NFTs, and the rest is history.
I spent that first cycle learning more about on-chain and becoming familiar with it. After the brutal 2022 bear market, like everyone else, I pivoted to memecoins.
I was working in sales when I started to dabble. Didn’t have much at the time, so I’d throw what I could into Phantom — and by the end of that year, I’d worked $3–5K up to seven figures.
The market was in a frenzy, and I was extremely blessed to find my edge early during the AI meta.
Me and GMGN
Before terminals, we used Telegram bots. Over the years I’ve transitioned from bot to bot, then terminal to terminal — until I finally found the right one.
I stumbled upon GMGN, and quickly realized it was the perfect place to trade. Every detail about it felt natural, and it was easy to become accustomed to.
If you’re like me, and live a busy life, you can’t always sit at your PC and trade — you have to use your phone. The phone app GMGN offers is by far the biggest competitive advantage to any other trading terminal in this space.
They’ve somehow managed to take your desktop computer and squeeze everything into your phone in such an efficient and clean way. The trading experience there has been nothing short of phenomenal, and I believe it’s a great tool to have on your side during these cutthroat conditions.
The trade I remember most
The trade that started it all.
When $GOAT kicked off the AI meta, I knew it wasn’t going to be the only runner. I found my edge early by going through Truth Terminal’s following list and identifying accounts that seemed likely to show interest in a coin — or even launch one themselves.
This tactic helped me turn a few thousand into millions.
Using that same approach, I discovered Somewheresy, the dev who had launched $CENTS.
When I first found it, $CENTS was completely dusted at around 7K market cap. I told all my friends to throw a little bit in and leave it for a week. I had about $70 sitting in there myself.
Then, 3–4 days later, I woke up one morning and it was sitting at 7 million market cap.
I took some profit, let the rest ride, and ended up making around $150K total off it. From just $70.
This isn’t my highest PNL trade, but it’s by far one of my favorites — turning absolute dust into life-changing money.
My biggest change
As traders, we have to be extremely adaptable. The market has obviously changed rapidly, and old tactics don’t always work like they used to.
The biggest change for me personally — and what I recommend to others — is being very selective with the coins you buy.
Even if you think it’s an absolute gem, take your initial investment out as soon as possible to make the trade risk-free.
There’s no better feeling than not losing money on a coin because you pulled your initials before it rugged.
I’ve changed in a lot of ways, but this is by far the most significant one.
Tips and tricks for trading with GMGN
Find a trading style that fits you — volume trader or conviction trader — and stick with it.
Trading gets a lot easier when you stay disciplined and consistent.
Rules I try to live by:
- Take a break after big losses and big wins. Both extremes end in bad trades.
- Take profits — don’t be greedy. The money you leave on the table isn’t yours yet.
- Don’t FOMO. If you don’t get your entry, there’s always another opportunity.
