#数字资产动态追踪 From 1,000 yuan for a meal to 80,000, I almost traded my life for it

In the winter of 2017, I was so broke that every sound was ringing. I had only 1,000 U remaining for food, and the landlord was constantly sending emojis in the group to remind me about rent. I decided to go all in, threw that 1,000 U into the exchange, and opened my first 100x leveraged trade.

I bet $BTC would go down, casually set a 2% take profit before bed. When I woke up, my account had gained 700 U. At that moment, I let out a pig squeal—so this is what money making money feels like?

I became obsessed with this "snowball" method: take half of each profit in cash, reinvest the rest. After ten consecutive correct calls, 1,000 U really turned into 80,000 U. That confidence, I can't even describe. When I treated colleagues to skewers, we talked about it, and they thought I hit the lottery. I said, "Lottery is too stable."

The turning point came quickly. One night in May, a tweet dropped, and BTC plunged from 58,000 to 30,000. I was all in long, and my mind went blank—my account, like free fall—went from 600,000 to 6,000 in the blink of an eye.

I sat on the balcony, smoking a cigarette, my hands trembling—I almost threw my phone away.

Surviving relied on two tricks: immediately disconnect after three consecutive wrong trades, to prevent a reversal; once it rolled to 10,000 U, I had to withdraw—half for my family, and the other half to keep playing. That’s the bottom line.

Last November, when FTX collapsed, the whole market was in panic. I stayed in my rental, watching the screen for four days and nights. My short position of 900 USD eventually grew to 760,000. When I withdrew, I was trembling so much I couldn’t type the numbers—first transferred 400,000 to my mom with a note: "Pay rent freely, stop bothering me."

This kind of position rolling game, honestly, is walking a tightrope with no safety net. Want to try? First ask yourself if you can close the position ruthlessly one second before liquidation. If you really can't, then be honest and do something else.

Those who survive and still make money in this market are always those who dare to act and know how to cut losses.
