#加密市场回调 When you complain about account drawdowns, you might want to take a look at this legendary player's textbook-level crash scene - he took five months to interpret the phrase "go long" to the extreme.
The story spiraled out of control starting in August last year. On August 3rd, the long position of PUMP directly evaporated 7.76 million dollars, with the spot also losing 2.18 million. Even more exaggerated, the total profit of the account plummeted from 26 million to 3.8 million, a single-day drawdown of 85%—this operation can be described as performance art.
On October 11, two months later, the ETH go long became the fuse. With 25x leverage ready to go, it flipped from a floating profit of 44.5 million dollars to a loss of 10.6 million in principal within 22 days. Among them, the XPL go long was the most outrageous, opening at 1.4 dollars and directly losing 18 million; the ETH position was not much better, with a high leverage resulting in a loss of 12.56 million.
October 23rd was devastating—after the ETH long position completely liquidated, he lost 1.57 million, and he immediately reopened a 25x leverage position to continue gambling, a typical case of emotional revenge trading. By November 24th, the position had shrunk to a "ant position" of 1 ETH, worth 2840 dollars. The account's total loss stood at 18.56 million dollars, with 6.8 million evaporated in just the last month.
This case accurately illustrates what is meant by "leverage is a double-edged sword". $BTC The market never believes in faith recharge; risk control is always the first survival rule.

Bro, this operation is incredible, getting liquidated and still wanting to go all in, what else can you call it but a gambler...
Always going long and always losing money, that’s too true, leverage really is a pit.
After reading this story, I'm even more certain of one thing, risk control is really more important than anything else.
18 million just disappeared like that, I feel sorry for him, this is the price of greed.
Revenge trading is the deadliest, when emotions rise, the brain just stops working.
From 26 million to 3.8 million, this cliff-like drop makes my scalp tingle.
To be honest, 25x leverage is like playing with fire, if you come out alive, it’s a win.
680 million evaporated in a month, just listening to that number shows how absurd it is.

This guy is really outrageous; he got liquidated and still dares to go all in. I see this as pure emotional trading.
It's crazy, dropping from 26 million to 3.8 million; how can one keep their composure?
Using 25x leverage to play this big, he deserves to be educated by the market.
Actually, looking at this story makes it clear: leverage is really not a good thing; risk control is the key.
Evaporating 6.8 million in a month? That's truly paying for a lesson with money.
This guy was killed by greed; if there's profit, he should have run, but he insisted on going all in.
Faith deposit? Please, the market only recognizes risk control and stop loss.
After watching this case, I feel that my little drawdown is actually nothing; at least I didn't get liquidated.
How can someone continue to use 25x leverage after getting liquidated? Isn't that just spite?
So, always going long is just a trap; the market won't rise just because of your faith.
18.56 million, everyone; if it were me, I would have gone bankrupt long ago.
This is what it means to demonstrate 'greed is not enough' with real money.
