I fought tooth and nail with PIPPIN for a full three days, and even now my hands are still shaking as I type.

I barely slept for seventy-two hours—my account skyrocketed from 280,000 USDT to 1,270,000 USDT, finally cashing out with nearly a million in profit. But to be honest, earning this money left me feeling uneasy.

It all started simply. That afternoon, I was staring at the charts. PIPPIN was hovering around 0.11 for what felt like forever, with trading volume nearly dead. I figured it was about to break out, so I casually placed a long order.

Suddenly, it shot up like it was on steroids, jumping straight to 0.14. Instantly, my account grew by 460,000 USDT.

I got carried away and flipped to a short.

That one move almost wiped me out.

The price didn't look back, surging crazily to 0.195. The liquidation line got closer and closer. My palms were sweaty, and I barely dared to breathe. With no other choice, I hedged with another long at 0.192—just flailing for anything like a drowning man, with no real strategy.

The most torturous part was last night. The price started dropping, and I stared at the screen all night, my eyes burning with tears. My long was losing, my short was winning, and I felt torn in half. Not until this morning, when all positions auto-take-profit triggered, did my account settle at 1,270,000 USDT.

Looking at that number, I didn’t feel happy at all.

After the first take-profit, I should have stopped. But people always want more—that’s human nature, and also the gateway to disaster. If you need last-minute hedges to save yourself, you’ve already lost. Real risk control should be planned before you open a position, not rushed after you start losing.

The market is always like this: the more you think you understand it, the more it loves to slap you in the face.

Now, my account is up nearly a million, and I’ve also gained a million-dollar lesson. If someone asks me if I’d dare to play like this again?

The answer is: I’d rather miss out than force it.

In crypto, it’s never about who earns faster—it’s about who survives longer. After these three days and nights, I truly understand this saying.

Shaking hands like this really isn't worth it. Is trading a million in profit for a heart attack really a good deal?

Damn, my mindset just collapsed. This is literally a live broadcast of a gambler’s mentality. --- Even after taking profit, you have to reverse your position? You really have so much money your hands hurt. --- Honestly, paying 1 million as tuition for a lesson is still cheap—some people lose everything and go to zero. --- Staying up for three days just for this thrill? Bro, are you making money or getting high? --- That last sentence hit home: in the crypto world, surviving long is the key—what’s the rush? --- This is the truth about hedging—the more you try to save, the deeper you get, and you just can’t stop. --- An account jumping from 280,000 to 1,270,000 sounds awesome, but I advise you not to take trades like that again—your heart can’t take it. --- You were supposed to make a million, but ended up with anxiety. At least mentally, you’re at a loss. --- You’ll do it again next time—I’ll bet five bucks on that. --- Human nature is honestly harder to predict than the market.

This is the real textbook of the crypto world, way more valuable than those hyped-up tutorials. --- If your hands are shaking, that's right—it means you're still alive. --- That line about desperately grabbing while drowning really hits home. I've been there too. --- Turning a million in profit into a million-dollar lesson—whether it's worth it depends on how you live afterward. --- Those who cashed out and stopped the first time have long achieved financial freedom, haha. --- This PIPPIN move was truly epic, but doing it again next time? Most who tough it out become legends—the kind that rest in peace. --- Surviving long is the top financial secret. The graves of those who chased quick money are overgrown by now. --- Three days and nights without sleep—what's in this account is all paid for by your body. Is it worth it? --- Spent ages but still don't get one thing: why didn't you take profit the first time? --- Those few minutes at the liquidation line really make you find faith again.

Making money with shaky hands, but the heart trembles even more—this is the poetry of the crypto world.

My hands are still shaking, this is unbelievable. This is the kind of “surprise” the crypto world gives you. --- A million in profit but still can’t sleep—I feel like what you earn isn’t money, it’s a heart attack. --- So true. Risk control needs to be considered at the time of opening a position, not when you’re down to your underwear regretting it. --- That drowning and grasping analogy is spot on. It perfectly describes how I look every time I get stuck in a position, hahaha. --- 72 hours without sleep, hands constantly shaking—the price you pay is definitely brutal. --- Reading about your experience makes me feel better. Finally, someone who’s had it worse than me—I’m not the only one going crazy. --- From 280,000 to 1,270,000 and then to your current state of mind—this is the real gain. --- “Better to miss out than to hold on stubbornly”—this should be engraved in every trader’s mind. --- That’s how crypto is—the happiest moment of making money often comes when you’re losing it. --- When the liquidation line kept getting closer, I could feel your fear. Man, you really dodged a bullet this time.

That slip was worth it—a million-dollar lesson is still a cheap one.
