After three days of leveraged trading, watching the money in my account be repeatedly harvested, I truly can't find the words to describe that feeling.

Initially, I was just testing the waters with small positions, but I got more and more hooked. ETH's volatility tempted me to add to my positions again and again, and the gains in altcoins were even more irresistible. I told myself to wait a bit longer, to take one more shot, but the result was sleepless nights, and when morning came, it was a mess.

My account was wiped out, dreams shattered, and I didn't even sleep well. The money that could have been used for long-term investments was squandered in short-term greed. I stayed up all night, only to be ruthlessly taught a lesson by the market.

Now I just want to say: I really don't want to play anymore. These days of racing heartbeat and constantly watching the charts are too exhausting. Some costs can't be measured in money—there's also time, sleep, and mental health.

Leverage is really like poison; small positions testing the waters often end up being all in. The tuition for a full gamble really hurts, sleep is valuable. That wave of ETH volatility is indeed tempting, but the cost of greed is too high.

Bro, this is leverage hell, three days and it’s completely wrecked someone. --- Another story fooled by ETH, when will they finally learn? --- Losing sleep and a good mindset, and money becomes the least valuable thing. --- Trying a small position to test the waters? I've seen too many brothers say "just trying" and end up bankrupt. --- Only when the short-term dream of getting rich quickly shatters do you realize you simply can't hold on. --- Blowing up an account feels good for a moment, but when you're mentally exhausted, there's no one to talk to. --- Now you’ve realized? Why didn’t you do it earlier? So many people only understand this after paying their tuition. --- That greed really hits home; the joy of making money can’t compare to the despair of losing it in a second. --- I just want to ask, when will you truly let go? Or are you just waiting for the next time?

Leverage is the fastest way to cut leeks; in three days, you're back to before liberation, no wonder.

Leverage is really a poison; it can knock you out in just three days. It's the same old story—adding positions, adding more, adding even more—only to wake up and find your account wiped out. That's why I stick to long-term spot trading; short-term trading is really not worth the risk. The cost of learning in the crypto world is the highest—only after spending blood and tears do you understand what risk truly means. Sleep is more valuable than profits—that's the truth.

Damn, you got liquidated in just three days? I told you, leverage is not something humans should play with. Every time, I say this time will be different, but in the end, the market daddy still teaches me a lesson. That's why I only dare to watch now, but don't dare to act, really. Honestly, sleep is valuable, brother. The moment I increased my position, I knew it was over. Greed kills silently. I've also quit now. Not having money actually feels more reassuring.

Leverage is really a poison; those who start with small positions all say the same thing. Why can't I control my hands? Add positions, add more, and add even more. I just want to ask, what does three days of losses look like? Sleep and mental state are truly valuable. Once you wake up, don't look back. That's why I only do spot trading now. It's exhausting.

Leverage blew up in just three days, how reckless can you get... The small gains in altcoins can really make people lose their minds --- Another brother who learned a lesson from the market, greed was the moment he already lost --- The feeling of insomnia while watching the market, once is enough --- Dreams shattered, account broken, this round of paying tuition was a bit expensive --- Long-term investment money was forcibly lost in short-term gambling, in plain words, it was just your own recklessness --- Now I realize it, continue playing tomorrow, this is the cycle haha --- Sleep and mindset are worth much more than those floating profits, it's not too late to wake up --- ETH's volatility can indeed be addictive, but the moment you add positions, you should reflect on yourself --- The most painful part of breaking an account isn't losing money, it's that sense of helplessness --- Another leverage victim, when will they learn to let go
