2.3 million dropped back to 220,000... That's the crypto world for you, even roller coasters aren't this thrilling. By the way, I should learn to turn off the contract feature too—leverage really is a trap.

Ah, this story really hits home. 80,000 turned into 2.3 million and then fell back to 220,000... I always said that the biggest enemy in the crypto world is our own greed.
I have to give a thumbs up to the decision to disable the contract feature; leverage is really just a trap.

The part from 2.3 million to 220,000 is truly the most realistic portrayal of the crypto world. Shutting down the contract function was a brilliant move; leverage is a nightmare generator.

Others saw 2.3 million while I only saw 80,000 evaporated, this mindset is really extreme.
Leverage is like a drug, once you start, you'll never quit and will eventually be done for.
I've heard too many advocates, now when I see recommendations, I just want to laugh.
An annualized return of 20% doesn’t sound like much, but surviving without being played for suckers is the ultimate profit.
What’s the deal with that time in Chiang Mai? The real test is how to survive in a bear market.
No matter how rich you become from a coin you don’t understand, don’t touch it; this saying should be tattooed on your forehead.
How desperate must it have been to drop to zero overnight? Fortunately, I wasn't playing with leverage.

This story sounds like something I’ve experienced myself—turning 80,000 into 2.3 million and then dropping back to 220,000. That mindset shift is truly a journey of self-cultivation; now I actually live more grounded.
The moment I went from 2.3 million to 220,000, I finally understood what true bankruptcy feels like. But it’s because of that experience that I’m still here today.
Leverage really is a harvesting machine. I’ve seen too many people get liquidated overnight—out of sight, out of mind, is honestly the clearest choice.
Not even expecting 20% annualized returns anymore? That means you’ve truly understood things. Many people are still dreaming of 500% returns.
Sitting at that little wooden table in Chiang Mai, with cicadas chirping outside the window, you’re there calculating rent—it’s a bit heartbreaking but also pretty inspiring to think back on.
Half BTC, half ETH, plus arbitrage—this allocation is definitely more rational than most of the strategies I’ve seen.
Jumping into something you don’t understand and losing 220,000 in a week—that lesson is worth more than many courses.
During the FTX incident, you noticed the reserve issue in advance and got out—that shows you really do watch on-chain data, not just blindly following the crowd.
Surviving is already winning. I’ve heard this countless times in the crypto space, but very few actually manage to do it.

Oh, this story sounds so thrilling, going from 80,000 to 2.3 million and then dropping to 220,000, even a roller coaster isn't this exciting.
The key part is that last sentence, really, if you don't understand and just charge in, it's just giving away money, I've fallen into this pit too.
Leverage is indeed a capital harvesting machine, no doubt about it, I've seen too many drop to zero in one night.

When this guy put down 80,000 as a down payment to buy BTC, my parents were still advising me to buy a house, haha
The key is still that saying - the money you earn from things you don't understand can't be kept, it's too heart-wrenching
I can relate to that period of getting liquidated in contracts, the feeling of dropping to zero overnight... forget it, let's not mention it.

Oh no, really, losing 220,000 in a week makes me worry for you... This is why I absolutely won't touch any coins I don't understand right now.
Just being alive really is a win, this sentence hit me hard.

Haha, this guy has really gone through the entire cycle of the crypto world, feeling like he fell from heaven to hell and climbed back up again.
I just want to ask, do you still dare to do Margin Replenishment now? Or have you already been optimized to PTSD?
Closing the contract with this move is amazing; how many people have been ruined on that leverage.
#加密货币市场动态 2018年那会儿,我干了件让爸妈急到抹眼泪的事——把准备买房的8万块首付,全砸进了当时450美元一个的比特币。
脑子里就一个念头:这波不上车,以后连车尾灯都看不见。结果一年后在清迈租的小公寓里,手机突然震了一下,打开一看账户余额——230万。那感觉就像天上掉馅饼,还正好砸我头上。
好景不长。熊市来的时候,比台风还凶。2018年底开始,账户数字跟泄了气的皮球似的,眼看着从230万一路跌到22万。我坐在那张摇晃的小木桌前,算着下个月房租够不够,窗外知了叫得震天响。那时候才明白,站在风口上摔下来,是真的疼。
爆过仓,被割过韭菜,栽的跟头多了,倒是琢磨出几条活命经验。
先说认知这事。早些年听人吹元宇宙地块能翻倍,我连那玩意儿干嘛用的都没搞清楚就冲进去了,一个礼拜亏了22万才反应过来——你根本不懂的东西,赚的钱也守不住。
后来学乖了,开始讲究仓位配置。现在我一半资金放比特币和以太坊这种主流币,三成做跨平台套利赚点差价,剩下两成留着当备用金。去年ETH跌到1200的时候,就是靠这笔钱补了仓,才没错过后面那波反弹。
还有一条铁律:离杠杆远点。全仓玩合约那次,一个晚上就爆仓归零了。从那以后我直接把交易所的合约功能关掉,眼不见心不烦。杠杆这东西从来不是什么收益放大器,它就是本金收割机。
另外就是别信那些喊单群和网红推荐。真正有用的信息得自己去查链上数据,看白皮书。2022年FTX出事前,我发现他们储备金对不上,提前把资产转出来了,才躲过那场雷。
现在我早就不指望一夜暴富了。能稳稳当当赚个年化20%就行,今年到现在刚到18%。在币圈这条路上走到现在,能活着比什么都重要。很多人不是不够拼,只是缺了点清醒。市场机会一直在,关键是别让自己先出局。
