I just saw a radical trader's operation—truly aggressive gameplay.

Here's what happened: after earning a floating profit of $1.8 million on ETH short positions, he didn't take profits but instead used this floating gain to open a BTC short position, adding a scale of $52.48 million at once.

The current situation is even more exaggerated—an initial capital of 3 million USDC has been leveraged to a total short exposure of $152 million, with an actual leverage ratio of up to 35 times. The liquidation line for this position is very close, and a slight adverse movement could trigger a margin call.

Honestly, this kind of rolling position strategy is just a gamble: either make a big profit or lose the entire 3 million principal. The market can be so cruel sometimes—high leverage is always a double-edged sword.

ETH3.55%

BTC3.64%

USDC0.01%

Playing short with 35x leverage, this guy is really crazy. Either get rich or go broke overnight, it's that simple.

3 million bet with 300x leverage, this guy is really crazy. The liquidation line is so close, yet no stop-loss? Oh my, 35x leverage is playing with fire. Burning is just a matter of time. Keep opening positions without taking profits? That's the gambler's mentality. Greed destroys everything. If you ask me, this kind of operation is just giving money to the exchange. A liquidation is highly likely. Closing positions is really exciting, but I choose to stay alive. This brother probably hasn't experienced the taste of liquidation. 3 million is just tuition. 35x... Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable. It's too extreme. Damn, just watching makes me nervous for him. He's on the brink.

This guy is really playing with fire, 35x leverage all in on short positions, almost writing "I want to get liquidated" on his forehead. --- 1.8 million floating profit and still adding to positions? This is not a trader, it's a gambler's self-discipline. --- As soon as the market slightly rebounds, it’s wiped out completely. It’s like playing Russian roulette with 3 million. --- To be honest, this kind of strategy can indeed make astronomical profits if successful, but the odds… never mind, no need to calculate. --- I just want to know if his mentality will collapse when he gets liquidated, after all, his dream of $152 million is about to shatter. --- High leverage either changes your life or changes your approach to wealth management. Which 50% chance would you choose?

This guy is really crazy, playing with 35x leverage and rolling positions. How low do you think the probability of getting wiped out is?

3 million bets billions in short positions, this is truly a life-and-death moment Wait, has this guy really never heard of Luna? Playing with 35x leverage at such a scale, liquidation is just around the corner It's another story of either becoming a god or meeting one's end I really can't adopt this mindset, I'm scared

This guy is really crazy. An unrealized profit of 1.8 million and instead of taking profit, he goes all in. That's a gambler's mentality. Leverage of 35x to short? Clearing out is only a matter of time. Continuing to add positions without taking profit, I don't understand this move at all, pure gambling. If you lose the 3 million principal, so be it. I can't learn this mindset. This kind of trading style, either getting rich overnight or losing everything, is too刺激. Is this what they call a "master"? I think he's a gambler. Treating unrealized gains as real money, how deep is this pit?

35x leverage... This guy is really gambling with his principal and the market's temper, even making me sweat for him.

Oh no, playing with 35x leverage so aggressively, you'll pay the price sooner or later. --- This guy is really daring, with a floating profit of 1.8 million and still continuing to go all-in. I just can't understand. --- Being called aggressive sounds nice; being called a gambler's mentality sounds harsh. Any market reversal turns you into a leek. --- Using 3 million to move a 150 million short position, still playing with the liquidation line so close—how strong must your heart be? --- I have to say, this kind of playstyle is indeed exciting, but the probability of liquidation is just as high as the chance of making big money. --- Rolling the position up to 35x leverage—this is no longer trading, it's gambling with your life. --- Just watching makes me break out in a sweat; one black swan could be game over. --- I just want to know if he ends up 🚀 or 💀. The ending is too uncertain. --- High leverage is truly a poison; once addicted, you can't stop. --- Greed without take-profit will eventually be paid back to the market.
