Every time I see someone in the market making tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in a single transaction, I can't help but wonder—how many liquidation experiences did they have to go through to get there?



The glamorous side of the market always has a dark side; the parts you can't see are often the most deadly. That's just how this industry works—if your position is light, your mindset is relaxed, but the money you make is also pitifully easy; if your position is heavy, you're constantly on edge, but no one can endure this pressure for too long. It's been like this since ancient times.

Ultimately, accumulation is the only reliable path. It's not about blindly increasing leverage, nor is it about being so conservative that you earn nothing, but about using your brain to plan so you can withstand pressure without being swallowed by it. Taking small steps forward may seem cliché, but that's the reality. I've seen too many of these cases, so I won't keep nagging. If you still have a clear head, don't rush to seek quick fixes.

It's the same old story again. I've heard it a thousand times, but I still don't believe it.

That's right; behind the seemingly overnight wealth are accounts that have been abandoned.

Honestly, looking at those screenshots flaunting wealth, I just think of a few projects I audited before. Behind the glamorous surface, there are all vulnerabilities. Those who make big money have stepped over countless pitfalls; the pressure of liquidation is nothing at all.

That's so true. Those who get rich overnight are all survivor bias; most people die under leverage.

You're right, behind every get-rich-quick story are bloody liquidation histories. Position management is like eating; greed always ends badly. After playing for so long, I have one insight: steady accumulation is much more reliable than dreaming of overnight riches. Every day I see people calling trades and making big money, but what happens? They disappear by the next month. Leverage is meant to be used as a warning, not as a way to get rich. The problem isn't the market, but the people—this statement is spot on.
