During my years studying abroad in South Korea, the atmosphere of everyone trading cryptocurrencies around me has been truly crazy. After joining the local community through my friends, I lost nearly $70,000 USDT, with the worst being during a black swan event when I was wiped out of $50,000, and even now thinking about it makes me heartache.

The turning point came in early December when I accidentally came across the $PIPPIN project and started adjusting my strategy. During this period, I mainly allocated to $ETH, gradually making up over $20,000 USDT to cover previous losses. Honestly, this market trend really helped a lot—without volatility, there are no opportunities, but more importantly, one needs the right mindset and execution.

Many friends who just entered the scene have a try-and-see attitude, and I was the same way. Since I chose this path, I must take every decision seriously. After the Federal Reserve's rate cut tonight, the market could see even bigger movements, and such key moments are often when opportunities and risks coexist.

70,000 to 80,000 losses are really harsh, but since you managed to get back up after going through the black swan, it's truly admirable. Maintaining the right mindset is indeed the most difficult part.

Losing 70,000 to 80,000 USDT—how desperate that moment must have been. But being able to crawl out of the black swan event already makes you a winner; mindset truly is the most valuable thing. --- ETH is still that old friend, unlike some new coins that make headlines every day. At least it won't die. --- Will there really be any movement after the Federal Reserve's decision? I’ve already cut what needed to be cut, now it’s just up to fate. --- Is the atmosphere over in Korea really this crazy? Probably all eager for quick gains and rapid turnaround. This mindset will have to pay tuition sooner or later. --- Covering a hole of over 20,000 USDT isn't easy—most people can at least be responsible for their accounts. At least I didn’t lie flat. --- No matter what people say, you have to go through such a trial to truly understand the importance of mindset and execution. Talking on paper is pointless; real combat is the most honest.

The moment I got wiped out with $50,000 was truly despairing. Now, hearing others tell these stories, I can feel that heartbreaking sensation.

Losing $50,000 in a liquidation must be really tough, but your current mindset is right—not everyone can bounce back from such a big loss.

From a technical architecture perspective, this guy's mindset adjustment process is quite interesting — losing 70,000 to 80,000 and then recovering over 20,000. What does this indicate? It shows that volatility itself is a filtering mechanism; those who survive must have some substance. It’s worth noting that the ETH allocation strategy is indeed supported by data during macro interest rate cut cycles, but is PIPPIN purely luck or based on fundamentals? Unfortunately, I didn't explore this point further.
