To be honest, using 5U to play small coins doesn't show any significant fluctuations, and without leverage, it's meaningless. That's why so many people can't resist adding leverage—wanting to see returns in a short period.
My experience is quite typical. Starting with 5U, I used leverage to once double my account to around 130. It felt really great at the time, thinking I had found a way to make money. But reality is often harsh—later, I got liquidated directly. At that moment, my mindset completely collapsed, and my confidence was instantly wiped out.
Fortunately, a friend saw I was in a bad state and gave me another 5U to start over. This time, I learned my lesson and decided to focus only on ARC and Ethereum, no longer chasing high prices recklessly.
Now that dawn has broken, I should get some good rest. Trading is really exhausting—it’s not physical fatigue, but mental exhaustion. Let’s leave it at that for now, and I’ll see how to adjust my strategy later.
This guy is a living example of what not to do, we need to learn from it, bro.
Mental exhaustion is scarier than physical exhaustion, I deeply understand this.
Focusing on two directions is not bad, it’s definitely better than going all in on small coins.
The 5U my fren gave me is lifesaving money, cherish it well.
This wave of the market looks good, but actually operating makes my heart race to my throat.
Leverage is the last gasp of a gambler, something you can't quit.
Not chasing the price is really the first lesson of advancement, but unfortunately, the realization comes too late.
At the moment of liquidation, were you completely stunned? Your friend really saved your life.
Focus on two coins and get it right, don't mess around. Mindset is the most valuable.
I'm exhausted, brother. This is the truth of trading.
Leverage is like a drug; once you've tasted the sweetness, you can't stop
ARC and Ethereum are much more stable; stop chasing those crazy coins
Feeling mentally exhausted is worse than losing money, rest well
This time, really learn the lesson and don't repeat the same mistakes
How exhilarating it must feel when it jumps from 5 to 130, and how painful it is when liquidation happens. I understand.
Feeling mentally exhausted is truly more uncomfortable than losing money.
