In the years I've been analyzing the crypto market, I've seen too many accounts go from full position to getting liquidated. The day before yesterday, an investor who studied with me for three months showed me a screenshot - the original principal of 400,000 is now less than 40,000. He didn't say any nonsense, just asked one question: "How could this happen?"

Such stories unfold every day. Upon closer inspection, 90% of the new traders who get liquidated basically fall into the same traps: full position rush, leveraging, and chasing hot trends. Conversely, those who survive are often not the smartest ones, but rather the ones who are the most disciplined.

As soon as I entered the market, I heard "hundredfold coin".

Haha, 400,000 left 40,000, this is the result of no stop-loss. Full position leverage is really a skill. --- Rather than being smart, it's about having a strong mentality; those who survive have endured through thick and thin. --- The dream of 100x coins, how many people have died because of these two words. --- Self-discipline is a good word, but no one listens. Everyone wants to get rich overnight, no one wants to get rich slowly. --- From 40 to 4, I just want to ask how this guy is doing now, still playing or not. --- This full position move is really brilliant; losing everything at once, no more worries. --- And the one asking "how could this happen," is a typical case of never expecting it to happen. --- Adding leverage is really a good thing, but it makes liquidation come faster. --- Those who survive are not necessarily experts; they just aren't that greedy.

Bro, 400,000 turns into 40,000, how much effort does that take? I'm really just afraid of seeing screenshots like this.

400,000 left 40,000, this is what is called true "Tied Up"... Full Position leverage is indeed the number one cause of death on the rankings.

400,000 remaining 40,000... how much can one stir up, is Full Position with leverage really a must for Newbies in the crypto world? Self-discipline > intelligence, this statement hits home, I have seen too many brain geniuses wandering with their wallets. Things like 100x coin really should be put on the blacklist.

Full Position to Get Liquidated, this cycle is really incredible. From 400,000 to 40,000, that guy must be in so much pain. --- Leverage is really a Newbie harvester, gone in one round. --- Self-discipline > IQ, no one believes this, but it's truly a truth in the crypto world. --- The outcome of chasing trends is always the same, being part of the harvested group. --- 100x coin sounds appealing, but it's actually a slaughterhouse, wake up everyone. --- The key is greed, always wanting a big turnaround, but in the end, it's all gone in one go. --- I just want to know, what have I learned in these three months, still haven't learned Risk Management? --- The combination of Full Position and leverage is simply a suicidal operation. --- Those who survive are actually not that smart, but rather the more stable group.

400,000 becomes 40,000, how greedy can one be... Full Position with leverage is truly an art of giving away money.

From 400,000 to 40,000, this is really incredible... But to be honest, I’m not surprised to see such screenshots anymore. Full Position leverage chasing hotspots, this combination technique is really the standard way to die in the crypto market. The harshest part is that sentence "How could this happen", the guy didn’t even realize how he just disappeared.

400,000 just disappeared, this is the result of Full Position, it's too cruel. --- 100x coin sounds tempting, but when it comes to hand, it's actually negative coins. --- The key is still self-discipline, I have a deep understanding of this; many people simply can't do it. --- Getting Liquidated is actually just a few tricks, yet there are always people who follow each other into the pit. --- What I learned in three months was all lost in one Full Position, my mindset couldn't keep up. --- Leverage is truly toxic, I've seen too many stories like this. --- Newbies all want to get rich overnight, little do they know that the fastest way is actually the fastest downfall. --- Self-discipline earns money, greed gets you Liquidated; this rule can't be broken by anyone. --- Among those chasing trends, nine out of ten die; survivor bias is harmful. --- 400,000 left with 40,000, what does that feel like at that moment? How do you calm your mindset?
