From Poverty to a $100M Empire. The Rise of Korea’s Top Crypto Trader

stoploss EP1  article thumbnail

For years, the industry has been overshadowed by headlines of scams, rug pulls, and volatility. But behind the charts and the chaos are real people—individuals who have changed for the better through discipline, resilience, and the opportunities that crypto made possible. That’s what Stop Loss was built to spotlight. A docu-series where we go beyond profit screenshots and PnL flexing—into the hearts and minds of the traders who made it out of struggle, not just into profit, but into purpose.

EPISODE 1. A promise forged in poverty, featuring Mr. Million.

Sihoo Anh, known in the OKX global trading community as Mr. Million, isn’t just one of the most respected traders in the region—he’s living proof that crypto can be positive, and life-changing. Growing up in South Korea, Sihoo faced what most would consider a dead end. His family was near bankrupt. At just 20, he had to pay for his own education, survive on part-time jobs, and support his parents and pay their debts. But in the middle of that darkness, he made a quiet vow:

“I’ll turn it all around. I’ll take care of my family.”

Armed with ₩300,000 KRW (about $200-$250) and no safety net, he started trading crypto. Today, he's building a $100M empire, with multiple businesses across IT, restaurants, real estate, and startups—all fuelled by a foundation of disciplined crypto trading.

His strategy? It’s not what you think.

You’d expect genius-level quant algorithms. But Mr. Million keeps it simple: Elliott Wave Theory. RSI. Fibonacci. Confluence zones. His true power isn’t in his tools—it's in his mindset.

“The faster you want to make money, the slower you need to move. Patience beats greed. Always.”

He doesn’t believe in luck or rituals. His “edge” is emotional discipline. When he’s wrong, he exits. When he’s right, he stays steady. That’s it.

Beyond the desk: The man behind the mindset

Off the charts, Sihoo is nothing like the stereotype of a crypto trader. He finds peace in flower markets. He surrounds his spaces with plants and nature. He DJs casually at events. He watches cat videos to decompress. This is the contrast that StopLoss brings to light—that traders are human first, and behind the success is someone who’s battled the odds, and is still grounded in what matters.

This is the story the headlines won’t tell

Crypto isn’t perfect. But it isn’t evil either. What StopLoss reveals is the grey area that matters most—the human journeys in between the hype and the hate. Episode 1: Mr. Million is the first step in reframing the conversation. Because what this industry needs now isn’t more alpha—it’s more soul.
