Want to turn a 100x dream into reality? You need to double nearly 10 times in a row. But what is reality? 99% of people get wiped out on the third correction.



I am deeply impressed by this number because I am that person who couldn’t sleep all night when the account still had 10,000 yuan left. At that time, I wasn’t thinking about where the next hundredfold coin was, but repeatedly asking myself: why do those who talk about technical analysis and candlestick patterns all day end up losing everything in the end?

It took me a while to realize — technical analysis, to put it simply, is just a cover. What truly determines life and death are mindset and survival skills. In the crypto world, most people who can’t survive are not because they don’t understand charts, but because greed takes over, always thinking they can go all-in and achieve financial freedom instantly.

**Trap Identification: Most people's death is quite similar**

The biggest scam in the crypto world is the phrase "get rich quickly." The first time I used leverage, I lost several thousand dollars within minutes. That moment made me truly understand — high returns come with high risks, and high risks love to punish greedy people.

In the entire cryptocurrency market, retail investors are always at a disadvantage. The phenomenon you see is: a YouTuber or influencer starts promoting a certain token, and the price begins to stir; the token enters the top 100 rankings, attracting more retail investors; then KOLs, venture capitalists, and early entrants start dumping; finally, the token crashes, and ordinary investors are forced to cut losses.

This cycle repeats over and over, but someone always jumps in.

Leverage trading is even more of a disaster zone. The data is clear — over 80% of accounts wiped out by leverage are caused by blindly increasing leverage during market volatility. They didn’t lose because of mispredictions, but because of emotions.

Just going all-in and wanting to lie flat, reality gives you a slap to wake you up --- Third correction and you get liquidated, I believe because I am that person --- Technical analysis is just spiritual opium, in the end greed will kill you --- Eight out of ten leveraged traders lose due to emotions, very accurate --- Watching influencers push coins into the top 100, then getting crushed, same old tricks --- Going all-in with a few thousand bucks to try to multiply by 100, laughable, wake up everyone --- Mindset and survival skills > all technical analysis, this hits close to home --- Retail investors are always on the path of being harvested, no exceptions --- Leverage can make you rich in a second and bankrupt in a second, this quick wealth scam is truly the ultimate

Oh my god, really, the third time to retrace and I got liquidated. I am that person, haha. Leverage makes me want to go all-in at once, and then it’s gone in a few minutes—such a painful lesson. Honestly, technical analysis is all just hype; in the end, greed kills you. I won’t touch the coins promoted by those big V influencers anymore. Cutting losses until I doubt my own life. If you can't get past your emotions, then don’t play. Retail investors are really too hard to deal with.

Basically, greed kills people, and technical analysis is all just illusions.

Honestly, seeing the story of not being able to sleep over 10,000 really hits home... I’ve been through the same, almost lost everything. Technical analysis? Forget it, that stuff is just a self-hypnosis tool. The real danger is greed, always thinking about getting rich overnight, and in the end, leverage eats you up leaving nothing behind. The script of cutting leeks in the crypto world has been played out for a long time, but people still rush in. I don’t know if they’re brave or just stupid. Honestly, living is the top priority. Avoid leverage and avoid dream coins; living slowly is the real winner... right? Small investors are always destined to be harvested, big V pushes the price up, big players crash it down, and we’re just here cutting losses in the middle. This game itself is unfair. 80% of liquidations happen because of emotional breakdowns. Really, watching K-lines is less important than watching your mindset. When your mentality crashes, all analysis is useless. How many lives are lost over the four words “get rich quick”... I’ve done the math, and I probably won’t even hit 100x in this lifetime, so just live well.

This is really f***ing true. I am the person with the 10,000 yuan account, the kind that can't sleep all night... --- Leverage is really a poison. It can evaporate thousands of yuan in just a few minutes. Who can withstand that? --- Greed is the original sin. The dream of all-in financial freedom ultimately turns into a nightmare. --- Watching big influencers promote coins and then getting cut, this trick really hooks people time and time again. --- Emotional breakdown is more terrifying than anything else. Technical analysis is really just a psychological placebo. --- 80% of margin calls are caused by self-sabotage and leverage. Losing isn't about vision; it's about not being able to hold back. --- I'm raising my hand for getting out after the third correction. Now I just watch others operate, and my mindset is much calmer.

In simple terms, greed will get you killed, and leverage is just a tool for self-destruction. --- A hundredfold dream? Wake up, everyone. The third correction and it's game over. --- That set of technical analysis is really just a facade; in the end, it's all about mentality. Greedy people have long been liquidated. --- I've seen too many people pump coins, and the ending is always the same—retail investors get harvested, KOLs dump and run. --- Leverage? Don't touch it. When emotions take over, it's gone. I've seen thousands of dollars disappear in minutes with my own eyes. --- Quick wealth is just a scam. I've never seen anyone in the crypto world really get rich from it. --- Those who add leverage during market fluctuations deserve it. Losing due to emotions—aren't you just asking for it?
