Just checked the charts and caught another rough 24 hours - looks like $153 million in long positions got wiped out. That's the kind of move that reminds you why leverage is a double-edged sword in crypto. When you're running on borrowed capital, even a small pullback can cascade into liquidations pretty fast. I've been thinking about this lately - if you're planning to hold through a full market cycle, that's roughly 15000 hours of waiting, monitoring, and managing risk. Point is, most traders don't have the patience or discipline for that kind of timeframe. They're chasing quick gains with leverage instead, and then boom, positions gone. Market's still unpredictable as always, so maybe it's worth asking yourself how long you're actually willing to ride this out before making your next move.
