My friend showed me a screenshot of their Dusk holdings, and I was immediately stunned — they actually caught a 10x increase in the coin. Just as I was feeling happy for him, he said: "I haven't broken even yet😂"

That instantly brought the whole atmosphere back down. Seemingly glorious gains, but behind them are costs far beyond what you might imagine. This is the truth of the crypto world — sometimes a 10x increase sounds shocking, but it might just be climbing out of a deep hole halfway. True profit always depends not only on the increase but also on the principal and the story behind the entry.

Laughing to death, this is the usual operation in the crypto circle. Not even a 10x return has recouped the initial investment, truly incredible. The entry price difference is too large; no matter how fierce the increase, it's useless. This is the fate of the working class. Dusk's recent market trend is indeed good, but the key depends on when you got in. Those who entered early are lying to win, while those who entered late are complaining endlessly. Without comparison, there is no harm. It looks like making money but is actually still losing, this feeling is so suffocating. Hearing about a 10x increase sounds great, but in reality, it might just turn a big loss into a small one. The stories in the crypto world are always so heartbreaking.

Haha, I'm dying of laughter. The operation of not even breaking even with 10x leverage is just unbelievable. The early bagholders are now revealing their true colors. That's why I'm no longer excited about the price increases. First, ask him how much he poured in, then talk. The crypto world is like this—no matter how big the numbers are, they can't withstand the destruction of principal. This one sentence of his is worth ten in-depth analyses. It's very realistic.

This is the most heartbreaking part of the crypto world—no matter how good the gains look, the key is whether you've broken even. 10x gains still haven't recovered the principal? How badly must one have been unlucky? My friend is truly deeply trapped this time; even a rapid increase in price is useless. To put it simply, it's a matter of timing when the principal was invested; no matter how many multiples, it can't be recovered. A firsthand demonstration of the difference between being able to make money and still losing money.

Oh no, this is awkward. Losing money even with 10x leverage, that's how ruthless the crypto world can be.

Haha, this is outrageous. Still haven't broken even after 10x? What kind of loss is that? --- The trick in the crypto world is like this: the hype about gains is actually just an illusion. --- Watching the gains is useless; the key is how much you invested yourself. That's the real truth. --- This guy must be playing with leverage so aggressively, still lying in a deep pit with 10x. --- Got it, so large-scale bottom-fishing got you trapped, right? Even though it’s up now, you still have to hold on. --- So heartbreaking, the feeling of being far from breaking even is the worst. --- That's why choosing coins and entry points is really a matter of fate. --- That's why I don't look at others' holdings; looking at them only makes me feel worse.
