This ETH correction came hard, and this time Maji's rolling long position profits were wiped out. Now there's only $42 left before the liquidation price—a real dance on the knife's edge.
Here's what happened: He used a principal of 500,000, and started leveraging long ETH from $2,840, rolling his position along the way. The day before yesterday, when ETH surged to $3,200, his account's unrealized profit had swelled to $3.34 million. But there's a fatal flaw with rolling leverage—while you're making money, your liquidation price also gets pushed up to $3,000. As a result, with a market retracement early this morning, most of the previous profits evaporated. High leverage can definitely magnify returns, but it also fully exposes you to risk.

This time Machi really got a brutal lesson—$3.34 million in unrealized profit evaporated in the blink of an eye. This is the true nature of leverage... getting liquidated at $42, it really is a gambler’s game.

This is the fate of high leverage. Floating profit of 3,340,000 looks great, but it disappears in an instant. Really can't take it.

This is the price of greed—$3.34 million in unrealized gains shattered in an instant...
---
Turning $500,000 into $3.34 million, only to lose it all overnight—this is what it means to win fast and lose even faster.
---
Rolling over positions and adding leverage is truly a double-edged sword; as your liquidation price rises, you’re planting a ticking time bomb.
---
Only $42 left before liquidation? You’d need nerves of steel to sleep through that.
---
That’s high leverage for you—when you’re winning, you feel like the chosen one; when you lose, you finally understand what risk really means.
---
From $2,840 to $3,200, unrealized gains ballooned to $3.34 million... and this pullback wiped it all out. Classic case of greed.
---
Growing $500,000 into $3.34 million is undeniably tempting, but the problem is you didn’t plan your exit, and it came back to bite you.

Dancing on the knife’s edge is like this—one second of euphoria, wiped out in an instant.
