Recently, I saw a bunch of short-term Ethereum traders lamenting in the community, saying things like "losing two months' salary in a day."

Short-term players are like this: they rush in without doing homework, and they deserve to lose. I always dollar-cost average and sleep well.

Losing two months' salary? Bro, are you addicted to leverage trading? Short-term trading should be prepared for stop-loss.

Haha, stop talking, I'm exhausted. Short-term trading is just gambling. Win the bet and brag, lose the bet and cry for mommy. This cycle was bound to come. --- Two months' salary? That's still small. A friend I know lost his half-year bonus and is still struggling... --- Honestly, reading these stories I can breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, I’m not that crazy. --- The fate of short-term traders: once leverage is used, they can't stop. --- Losing two months' salary is nothing. It's all about poor stop-loss strategies. When it's time to admit defeat, they still want to turn the tide. --- That's why I only buy spot with my steady salary now. It feels much more comfortable. --- Wake up, everyone. Most short-term traders get liquidated.

Haha, really, these people deserve it. Once they get hooked on leverage, they just can't stop.

Two months' salary? Ha, that's nothing. Have you ever seen someone go back to the pre-liberation era overnight? Really, short-term leverage trading is just live harvesting of leeks; surviving is already a blessing. This kind of loss method should have been accustomed to long ago. Short-term trading with Ethereum is inherently a life-and-death gamble.
