#美联储降息 Cryptocurrency's wild swings, can they really drive people crazy? It's not about whether they can, but whether you've truly endured it.
That night with LUNA, countless people's dreams were shattered. Their accounts still had 1 million U, but by the next morning? Only 10,000 U remained. $ZEC Falling from a high position, some dreamed of buying the dip and bouncing back, but $BEAT the price plummeted—going from 1 → 0.1 → 0.000001, finally disappearing entirely from the exchange. Some even more ruthless, holding $ETH for three days, saw 1.2 million vanish into thin air.
Why is the crypto world so ruthless? Because there are no stop-loss lines, no limits on gains or losses, leverage everywhere, and scam coins emerging all the time. A single candlestick can wipe out half a year's gains, and a few hours can reset your account to zero.
My advice is simple: avoid leverage if unnecessary. Don't rush into projects you haven't heard of, no matter how tempting they seem. Many people don't have incorrect direction judgment; they just can't hold on until the price rebounds.
In this market, only those who survive have the right to wait for the next bull run.

Living is more important than anything else; the crypto world is just that ruthless.

Really, that night with LUNA I was right there watching. A friend's account was wiped out completely, and now they don't even dare to withdraw their coins.

Really, that night with LUNA, I was in the group watching a guy go from 1 million to just 10,000, and his expression... I still can't forget it. Being alive is truly more important than anything else.

Really, that night with LUNA, I was just watching my account plummet and I was completely stunned. Now, whenever I see any new coins, I instinctively step back. Staying alive is more important than anything else.

Living is the top priority, and these words are really harsh, hitting right in the heart.

I've seen too many projects with poorly written contract permission controls, and during the LUNA incident, I really couldn't stand it. No multisig, no time lock, the admin can change parameters with just a private key—this isn't DeFi protocols, it's simply a collection of permission vulnerabilities. Leveraged liquidations are one thing, but projects with audits that are essentially useless that directly rug pull—honestly, they deserve it.

Living is truly the most important thing, this saying really hits home. I was also there that night with LUNA, watching others' accounts drop from millions to single digits, that helplessness was truly despair.

Leverage is just poison; knowing it but still using it—serves you right.
---
Basically, it's greed. People who haven't even heard of certain coins still go all-in. What else is this if not gambler's psychology?
---
The fatal blow is only when you can't hold out until the rebound, and most people die right there.
---
Compared to those sudden surges and crashes, a Federal Reserve rate cut is nothing. Human greed is the real monster.
---
There's no stop-loss in the crypto world, so you have to set one yourself; otherwise, you'll be doomed sooner or later.
---
I've known several friends who lost 1.2 million in three days. Now they don't want to do anything. It can really break a person.
---
Instead of trying to catch the bottom, it's better to live well. Isn't the next bull market still far away?

That night I was also there with LUNA, really lost so much that I doubted life. Now I only dare to trade spot, leverage is just a harvesting machine.

Really, I was watching my friend disconnect that night of LUNA, and they never appeared again.
Leverage is something you’d better not touch, no matter how tempting.
Account zeroing is more terrifying than anything; you wake up and it’s gone.
Living is winning; this saying hits too close to home.
99% of coins you’ve never heard of are just there to harvest the little guys, really.
The crypto world is so ruthless, a single K-line can wipe you out in half a year.
Being forced to buy the dip is the worst; you didn't even catch the rebound before getting liquidated.

Really, I personally saw people go from hundreds of thousands of accounts to beggars during that LUNA wave. Now, whenever I hear about a crash, I reflexively get palpitations.
