#Strategy加仓BTC On-chain trader James Wynn (0x507) staged a life-and-death speed run on Hyperliquid—this guy started with $20,000, turned his account into $900,000, but on January 8th, he was liquidated 12 times in a row, with his position repeatedly cut in half. But today he exited alive, clearing his long positions in PEPE and ETH, and withdrew about $41,000 from the platform.

His performance is as follows: PEPE longs made $110,000, ETH longs lost $160,000, for a net profit of about $20,000 this round. It doesn't sound like much, but for an account that was close to liquidation, this is a "survivor."

Interestingly, James Wynn confidently predicted on January 1st that PEPE's market cap would hit $69 billion by 2026, and said he would delete his account if he couldn't achieve it. Now PEPE's market cap is only $2.54 billion—there's the gap.

Honestly, this is more like a surviving example in high-leverage narrative trading—not because of good judgment, but relying on luck and stop-losses to stay alive. The market never cares how dramatic your process is, only the result.

BTC-2,47%

PEPE-5,43%

ETH-4,09%

SOL-4,99%

Surviving is winning; talking too much about it just brings tears.

Coming back alive is winning. I've heard this saying too many times... But on the other hand, being liquidated 12 times in a row and still able to withdraw over 40,000 definitely involves a bit of luck.

Living is winning, this guy has truly understood --- 12 liquidations and still able to get back up, how lucky must he be --- Promised 69 billion PEPE, why is he still stubborn now --- Net profit of 20,000? Considering the liquidation risk, it's not bad, leverage is just so刺激 --- High leverage and predictions again, wake up everyone --- From 900,000 down to 41,000, this contrast is incredible --- PEPE made 110,000 but turned around and lost 160,000, a complete hedge master --- If you ask me, it's still timely stop-loss to save your life, greed is gone long ago --- Boasting a 69 billion market cap but only 2.54 billion, prediction ability is worrying --- Just survivors, don't mistake luck for skill

Surviving is winning; this is the true essence of trading. --- Another survivor's story, ultimately just good luck. --- The $69 billion PEPE dream is now awkward haha. --- Rising from 20,000 to 900,000 and then falling back to 40,000, I don't understand this move. --- Clearing 12 times and still able to withdraw alive, this guy's luck is really strong. --- In a high leverage world, staying alive and exiting is a victory. --- Talking so much sweet talk, in the end, it was the stop-loss that saved his life. --- Is this what you call a true leek's comeback? No, this is almost being cut but still alive. --- Looking at his prediction on January 1st, he's probably suffering from embarrassment now haha. --- Net profit of 20,000, but how much mental exhaustion and volatility did he endure?

Coming back alive is winning; this guy has finally understood. Surviving by luck is much better than dying by relying on judgment—that's reality.
