I saw a case: someone opened a 10x long position on ZEC, with a position value of about $390,000. This is a typical high-leverage trading strategy.

The logic behind this operation is actually very clear—building high-multiplier long positions around mainstream coins and then adjusting frequently. 25x leverage is a common setup, sounds exciting but in reality is walking on the edge of a cliff. Slight market reversals can trigger liquidation prices instantly. Therefore, these traders must constantly monitor the market and keep an eye on liquidation risks.

But the vast majority of retail traders simply don't have the energy or risk tolerance for that. So the core thing to do is one thing: risk control.

A couple of days ago, RVV experienced a sharp surge, followed inevitably by a dump. We warned around 0.009 and opened a short position with followers, successfully taking profit. That’s the difference—it's not about chasing the maximum profit, but about staying alive and making money.

ZEC-1,8%

RVV-6,34%

Walking on the edge of a cliff, one careless move could be the end. 25x leverage is really playing with fire; I've seen too many get liquidated. --- High leverage is gambling; retail investors should not follow suit. The fastest way to die is through this. --- The key is to stay alive; don't chase those virtual maximum returns. I also saw that wave of RVV; making money is less about the amount and more about surviving longer. --- 10x long on 390,000? I feel sorry for that guy; he was just waiting for a wick and was gone. --- That's right, most people simply don't have time to monitor the market; it's better to be cautious. --- Risk control is truly the top priority; don't let these high multiples blind you.

10x leverage sounds brave, but it's actually a gamble with your life... This guy must be extremely nervous every second.

Playing ZEC with 10x leverage, this guy is really gambling with his life. I find it exhausting just watching him. Making money while alive is truly more important than anything else. That’s so true. I would just pass on 25x leverage; sleep quality is worth much more than gains. When the liquidation price comes, the money is gone, and you can't even buy regret medicine. Have you done the math? The RVV operation was indeed impressive. Planning short positions in advance shows professionalism. Retail investors are still caught up in FOMO. Staring at the screen all day just to avoid liquidation? I can't do that. It's better to be cautious. Risk control always comes first. Leverage is just a harvesting tool.

nah, 25x leverage is basically just gambling with extra steps... seen too many liquidation cascade narratives to think otherwise. the whole "timing the pump" thing only works until it doesn't, fr fr.
