Honestly, I’ve seen too many people suffer losses in this market. Not long ago, a guy chased a certain AI concept coin at a high point, threw all his money in, and his account shrank by 7 million U. That kind of mental breakdown almost made him delete the app. I could only tell him, "This is just how the crypto world is, it’s notorious for punishing the unprepared. But as long as you have bullets, there’s still a chance to turn things around."
**The market never shows mercy**
This guy’s experience isn’t really rare. Look around: a 24-year-old used 125x leverage to lose his down payment, and some have turned 100,000 into nearly 10 million over five years only to almost wipe out everything. This market is more like a survival game — those who truly eat the meat are often the patient hunters, not the flock of followers.
Those daily “experts” who post their wins? They might just be lucky survivors, or even the project’s scythe. I always remind newcomers: returns and risks are always two sides of the same coin. Jumping in after seeing others make big money is the real reason for爆仓 — being hijacked by FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).
**Go against the emotion, strictly control risk**
Let me share my actual operations. Last week, the market had a spike, and a certain coin oscillated around 1.2 dollars. Many people panicked and sold. I judged it was a shakeout by the big players, so I organized my team to build positions in batches, while tightly setting a stop-loss at 1.0. Sure enough, after the spike, it quickly shot up to 2.5, earning me 800,000 U.
Even more intense — at 2.3, I reversed and opened a short position. The logic was simple: short-term overbought, obvious selling pressure zone. I closed at 0.65 for a profit, earning another 1.2 million U.
The secret to this whole operation boils down to two words: **counter-emotion** and **strict risk control**. Most people lose money in the market not because they judge wrong, but because they can’t control their hands or withstand the pullback. Next time you trade, try this — don’t follow the crowd, instead think about where most people are wrong. When risk management is in place, the chance to turn things around will naturally come.

7 million U directly evaporated, this guy is really fierce
To put it simply, he has a very strong gambling mentality and doesn't set stop-losses
I've also tried the contrarian sentiment approach, but I can't handle the psychological pressure
Watching others share their profits every day, but when it's your turn to operate, you hit a snag. FOMO is truly a poison
If risk control isn't done well, no matter how smart the judgment, it's all useless

7 million U was lost in one go; how strong must this guy's mentality be to keep playing?

7 million shrinkage and still have the mentality of having bullets is really incredible... If I had known earlier, I would have deleted the app and slept for three days.

Back in my mining days, a 7 million U liquidation could make someone collapse? Back then, I lost the entire mine in one go... Gas fees eating into my operational funds was the real despair, which is why L2 adoption metrics must keep up; otherwise, the underlying TPS bottleneck can never be solved.

7 million U directly lost, how big is your heart, haha

Not setting stop-loss properly is suicide; no matter how much money you have, it can't save you
---
FOMO is really the number one killer in the crypto world; I see too many people like this with nothing left
---
Counter-trend shorting is indeed a brilliant move, but most people don't have that awareness
---
Honestly, risk control is a hundred times more important than choosing coins, but unfortunately no one listens
---
Having bullets means having a chance to turn things around; there's nothing wrong with that statement
---
I've basically blocked all those who post daily screenshots, so annoying
---
Playing with 125x leverage on a down payment, how much can you do?
---
Counter-emotion trading sounds simple, but very few can actually do it
---
Those who can stay calm and make money, while those who can't keep paying tuition, it's that simple

To put it simply, it's about not being able to control your hands. The power of FOMO is truly devastating.
---
I agree with the concept of countering emotions, but it requires judgment; otherwise, you might suffer even greater losses in reverse.
---
Playing with 125x leverage on a down payment—this guy is really brave.
---
Those "experts" who share their trades... hey, everyone who survives has become an expert.
---
A stop-loss at 1.0 is such a tight limit; how much capital do you need to withstand the drawdown?
---
Two rounds of 2 million U, the logic of this operation is clear, but copying it is difficult.
---
The problem is that most people simply can't go against their emotions; they see the price dropping and just want to run.
---
Risk control, risk control, everyone talks about it; but when it comes to actual losses, who doesn't want to cut losses?
