#美联储回购协议计划 A classic Ethereum tragedy: buying the dip at $3200, continuously adding to the position as it dropped to $1700, and finally getting liquidated and wiped out. What’s even more heartbreaking is what happened afterward — he said he can no longer calmly earn a monthly salary of five thousand yuan. Hidden behind this is something more terrifying than the loss itself: once the illusion of wealth shatters, the mindset is completely ruined.

Someone asked how much money to invest to turn things around? My advice is simple — $800 is enough. This month, I caught the Ethereum rally from 2740 and did rolling positions, opened a short at 3370 high, and ended up harvesting over $20,000 in profit. But this is just the beginning; the real test is still to come.

I have a friend who plans to invest 50,000 yuan in the crypto world to have a try, completely new to it. I told him to start with 20,000 yuan to see if he can double it. He said he couldn’t turn 20,000 yuan into more. I explained to him — losses are calculated by percentage, not by absolute amount. If you can’t even make a multiple return with 20,000 yuan, then a 50,000 yuan principal will only increase your psychological pressure and risk.

He didn’t listen. That 50,000 yuan was directly put into contracts, initially with 5 to 10x leverage, gradually increasing to 20x. Now, his principal is down to just over 10,000 yuan. The whole process? Less than half a month.

This guy is very sharp in life, but once he enters the crypto circle, he’s done for. I’ve seen too many people like this; out of ten, almost all end badly. The crypto world is not a window for class mobility; it’s more like a meat grinder for downward mobility. To survive, you must first understand its brutal side. Only by staying alive can you talk about making money and changing your fate.

Who among those who truly survive and make big money in this circle isn’t someone who has faced death nine times? They’ve all endured countless waves to get to where they are now. The crypto world is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking are cognition, rhythm, and execution. In the past, you were blindly stumbling in the dark; now, someone can light the way.

A story is told once, and in the end, it's still that line: "Someone can light the way..."

ngl the liquidation patterns here are textbook... dude went from 3200 entry to cascade liquidations, classic overleverage trap. checked his wallet activity - screams emotional trading after the first drawdown hit. statistically speaking, 90% never recover from that psychological break, data's pretty clear on it

It's the same theory again. In half a month, 50,000 turns into over 10,000. This guy is really ruthless. But to be honest, the statement "800U is enough to turn things around" sounds ridiculous. How many times can it multiply? Ten times? Hundred times? If you hype it up like this every day, some people really believe it.

$50,000 into a contract with 20x leverage, lost over $10,000 in half a month, serves you right. --- $800 turnaround? Come on, that's just enough to fool newbies. --- Having a bad mentality is even more heartbreaking; it's more painful than losing money itself. --- The meat grinder in the crypto world is real; ten newbies, ten dead. This is not an alarmist statement. --- Cognition, sense of rhythm, execution—what I said is correct, but how many can really do it? --- Someone stumbling around in the dark, is there anyone to light the way? The premise is that you survive to reach that path. --- This guy is smart in life but useless in the crypto world; I've seen too many people like that. --- Whether you double or not, the key is not to play with leverage. When your mentality collapses, everything is gone. --- Bought at 2740, sold at 3370—this trade was good, but what about afterward? Can you withstand the pullback? --- A monthly salary of 5,000 yuan and a contract of 50,000 yuan, the psychological expectations are on completely different levels. --- What the crypto world truly lacks is cognition; too many people come here purely with a gambling mentality.
