#数字资产行情上升 From $3,400 to $70,000, then I personally deleted his contact information.



This is a very typical story in the crypto world, and also a mirror reflecting reality.

When he found me, his account had already been liquidated, with only $3,400 left, and his voice was trembling: "Bro, if I kneel one more time, I’ll really wash my hands of this." I knew what he was thinking—wanting to turn things around, but impatient, not willing to wait a second, afraid of missing the market, and even more afraid of losing his principal.

On the first day, I told him to only risk 10% of his capital. He got anxious: "What can I make with this little money?" I threw a line to him: "You’re not here to gamble, you’re here to survive."

In three days, it increased by 36%.

The rest was simple: withdraw the profits and set them aside, continue trading with the original capital. Profits generate more profits, rolling all the way up. $3,400 → $6,900 → $12,000 → $18,700… The numbers keep climbing, and so does the inflated ego.

By day 28, he asked me: "Bro, at this rate, can I also start making money for others?" I didn’t reply.

On day 34, without saying a word, he heavily invested in a small coin, losing 43% in one move. I asked why, and he said he wanted to verify his trading logic.

That familiar gambler’s look was back again.

On day 36, I deleted him.

Not because he lost money—losing money is normal. It’s because he forgot the most crucial thing: turning things around doesn’t rely on a miracle once, but on repeatedly following the same discipline, treating every profit as a bullet for the next trade, not as an excuse to celebrate.

In this market, those who last long are never the ones who dare to go all-in, but those who dare to stay sober and be tough on themselves.

The story of turning $70,000 into zero sounds exciting, but sometimes it’s just one thought away—"This time feels different."

The crypto market isn’t short of legends; what’s missing is consistent self-discipline.

This is greed. Once you taste the sweetness, you start to get carried away, really... Human nature can't withstand the test. Once the gambler's mentality kicks in, it's over. Everyone says discipline is the most important, but how many can truly stick to it? From a 20x increase to liquidation, it's just one thought of "I think it's okay" away. Good deletion. Continuing with this mindset will only lead to negative interest.

Really, human nature is most easily exposed in the crypto world. Once the gambler's mentality awakens, it can't be controlled at all. No matter how much profit there is, it can't be saved.

Really turns into a gambling addict in just one second; human nature can really ruin a person. --- It's easy to say it's a comeback, but in reality, it's just wanting to gamble for quick money. Once the mindset collapses, it's over. --- This guy is too ruthless; he saw through it in just 36 days... If it were me, I would have already cursed. --- That last sentence really hits home; self-discipline is the most valuable thing. --- From 70,000 to 0, it was just that one thought away. How many people in the crypto circle have lost everything this way? --- I laughed at the 10% position part. I was so anxious, but the more anxious I got, the more I flipped over. --- Deleting was the right choice; keeping people like that is just a trap. Sooner or later, you'll lose everything. --- It seems many people are like this—small gains make them arrogant, then they lose everything in one go.
