First phase goal achieved—today officially marks the end of days with high leverage.

To be honest, I have an instinctive aversion to leverage over 20x. It’s not about putting on airs, but the hard lessons learned firsthand. High leverage can give you the thrill of quick wealth in the short term—I’ve definitely tasted that feeling and made quite a bit of money. The problem is, these gains are like sand slipping through your fingers; you can’t hold onto them at all. The speed at which you can lose money is despairing.

My mindset has completely changed now. I no longer obsess over how much I can earn, but instead focus on how much I can earn together with the team. That’s what truly matters. What’s the use of doubling a personal account? When brothers also make money and the team grows steadily together, that’s the long-term goal.

The next small goal is very clear—survive the next 15 days. No pursuit of huge profits, just stability.

Haha brother, I respect this resolve. 20x leverage is indeed a kiss of death. Stay steady, that's stronger than anything. Survive 15 days and then talk. Team earning together is the true way; individual sudden wealth is more prone to failure. This is what real growth looks like, a transformation from gambler to manager. But speaking of which, how much blood and sweat money was this resolve bought with? Living safely and steadily is better than anything. Keep going, brother. High leverage is just a trap; those who see through it early tend to live longer.

tbh the whole "20x leverage" thing reads like a vulnerability report waiting to happen. you get liquidated so fast it's almost elegant, in a tragic way. anyway, kudos on actually learning from the wreckage instead of doubling down like most people do. that teamwork shift? technically speaking, less exploitable than solo yolo trading. 15 days of survival mode sounds reasonable. stay vigilant.

Handshake, now that's being sober. 20x leverage is playing with fire. Really, steady growth as a team is much more satisfying than individual sudden wealth. Surviving 15 days is a win; stability is the strongest strategy. I used to crave that rush of quick wealth, but now I realize how naive that was. The phrase "not pursuing huge profits" hits hard; many people just can't understand. Team profits > individual doubling; this is the enlightenment of rational investors. The lessons from high leverage are blood-stained; many are still escaping death. Steady growth is enough; why fight against yourself? This shift was truly not easy, it shows that you've really been through pain. The mindset of team win-win is commendable; only with long-term persistence can you last.

You've awakened, brother. That 20x leverage is a vampire; I've fallen for it too. High leverage brings short-term pleasure but guarantees long-term death, with no exceptions. From individual doubling to team stability, this realization is valuable. Surviving 15 days means winning; this is the correct way to open DeFi. Don't try to hold onto money you can't grasp; steady growth is the true king. Well said, earning together as a team is much more enjoyable than going solo and doubling. Those still playing with 50x leverage will eventually go broke.

Haha, finally realized it. High leverage is really a trap. Anything above 20x, I’ve suffered big losses before I understood. Growing steadily as a team is indeed better, much more comfortable than gambling recklessly alone. Surviving 15 days counts as a win. Not being greedy means you won't die. This time, I’m serious.

Survive for 15 days and you're good. Don't mess around with flashy stuff; stability is the way to go. --- High leverage is really poison; when you lose money, you can't react in time. --- Finally realized it. No matter how much one person earns, what's the use? It's more comfortable to make money with brothers together. --- 20x leverage? Just hearing about it makes me nauseous. Blood and tears are lessons learned. --- Damn, being pressed to the ground by high leverage once was enough; I won't touch it again. --- Stable growth of the team sounds reassuring; it's much more reliable than doubling a personal account. --- Money you can't hold onto is the same as not earning it. I’ve truly figured it out this time. --- Just live through these 15 days steadily, no other extravagant hopes. --- The thrill of short-term wealth, long-term is a nightmare; it's not worth the loss. --- From pursuing quick profits to seeking stability, this change in mindset has been taught by the crypto market.

Here are several comments with different styles: --- 20x leverage is truly incredible; losing money and instantly going back to square one --- The phrase "The team grows steadily together" really resonated with me; it's definitely more reliable than blindly messing around alone --- Survived 15 days? Haha, that's an interesting goal, but honestly, that's just reality --- I understand the thrill of high leverage, but the cost isn't something everyone can bear --- From individual doubling to team win-win, this transformation is actually a sign of maturity --- Leverage, leverage, in the end, it all backfires on oneself --- Stability is the key; that get-rich-quick scheme should have been abandoned long ago

Really, high leverage is just a paper tiger; you earn quickly but lose even faster. Your awareness is much clearer than most people. It's much better for the team to earn steadily together than for individuals to take reckless leverage. Just get through 15 days, don't be too greedy. Well said. Now, how many people dare to give up high leverage?
