500 million? Oh my god, another wave of liquidations. This volatility is really intense. --- Wait, are they starting to close positions now? I was still waiting for a rebound. --- The liquidation wave is coming. Looks like someone is going to suffer again. --- Five billion gone in 24 hours. How many leverages does that involve... --- I told you crypto is exciting; in the blink of an eye, accounts are gone. --- Here it comes again... it always happens so suddenly. --- That's why I stick to spot trading. Leverage is really playing with fire. --- Five billion in liquidation scale. My goodness, how many people must have died?

$500 million liquidation? Same old story, leverage traders should learn to cut losses.

It's the same market situation again, 500 million just gone like that. Leverage traders are once again paying tuition, they deserve it. The liquidation wave is coming; those who should have run earlier already did. Anyone who didn't cut losses in this wave is just a leek. Always talking about rapid emotional changes; frankly, it's just a way to cut losses. Setting stop-loss too high got wiped out completely; the story repeats itself every day. Real winners have already closed their positions. Who's still in there? Haha

$500m liquidated in 24h and everyone's acting surprised... empirically speaking, the data suggests we've failed at basic risk management protocols. where's the circuit breaker research?

$500 million liquidation? Ha, here we go again. Every time they say it's sudden, but actually it's just leveraged players getting what they deserve. Liquidation, huh? Watching others buy the dip makes me feel good. Another round of the leek-cutting show. This is the truth of futures trading, brothers. Oh my god, this volatility... If only my reaction time was faster, I could buy the dip. The liquidation wave is coming. Short sellers, enjoy yourselves. Next up is your turn. What are you saying? It's just a gambler's game. $500 million, gone in an instant. With such big fluctuations, even stablecoins can't sit still.
