#MSCI未来或纳入数字资产财库企业 The rollercoaster history of crypto accounts: behind the rapid doubling

I've seen many trading accounts; the craziest aren't slow declines but rocket-like rises followed by instant explosions.

Turning small funds into hundreds of times more isn't new in this circle. But the real issue—those who truly "step back" and survive—are extremely rare.

Most tragedies follow the same script: the account once shows tens of thousands in profit, then a single pullback wipes out all gains, sometimes even the principal. A bloody lesson.

This isn't due to market conditions or technical issues; the problem lies in a fatal weakness: **not knowing when to take profits**.

Many people misunderstand position rolling. They think it's about making aggressive moves and increasing positions daily? That's a huge mistake. Those who truly profit from rolling positions are extremely disciplined—only going all-in during truly favorable market conditions, and otherwise tightly controlling their hands.

Stories of liquidation in futures trading are mostly caused by these three habits:
- Entering trades recklessly without a trend
- Going all-in after small gains
- Holding through market pullbacks and refusing to cut losses, not taking any profit

Being able to roll positions through swings...

That's too real. I've seen too many stories of accounts getting rich overnight only to be wiped out the next day, and it's mostly their own fault.

Honestly, I've seen too many accounts drop from hundreds of thousands to zero, all because of greed. The words "stop loss" sound easy to say but hard to do. Rolling positions isn't something you do every day; it's about having patience and waiting for that real opportunity. The rest of the time, just shut up—that's the hard part. Starting to get reckless after small gains, not cutting losses during a pullback, and liquidation is just around the corner. A hundredfold increase isn't difficult; the hard part is surviving and taking it out—that's true skill.

Really, I've seen too many accounts go from five figures to seven figures in a month, only to be wiped out the next month. It's hilarious. The key is that they still think they're genius traders, but in reality, they just couldn't hold back.

It's really heartbreaking. I've seen too many accounts drop from hundreds of thousands back to zero, all because of greed in that final wave. Self-control is the key, but no one listens.

A hundredfold dream sounds great, but the reality is that most people die at the step of greed. That's so true.

ngl the whole "discipline in trading" framework here is empirically sound, but most people lack the governance structures within themselves to actually execute it. it's basically voter apathy but make it financial lmaooo
