Recently, a large Ethereum holder made a bold move at $3,117—using 25x leverage, opening a short position of 2,750 ETH in one go. This operation is truly a high-wire act of madness.

And what happened? ETH dropped, and they saw an unrealized profit of $76K on their account. Someone previously mocked him for a loss of over $20K, but now they have to eat their words. This is the magical moment in the crypto world—bet on the right direction, and you’re in heaven; bet on the wrong, and you’re in hell.

But think calmly, this kind of operation is really not worth learning. Leverage is like walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff—one misstep and you fall into an abyss. The crypto market is so volatile, what does it mean to amplify risk by 25 times? A single opposite move can wipe out your entire capital.

We still advocate a steady and prudent approach—protect the principal and aim for stable growth. Staying alive in this market is far more important than making quick profits. True experts are not the ones who earn the most, but those who survive until the end.

Damn, this guy's luck is really strong. He managed to survive a 25x short position and make 76K. I need to check my courage.

Oh no, it's that gambler mentality again. I really don't understand. 25x leverage is just suicide.

Wow, this guy really has good luck. He can make money even with 25x leverage. I can't handle this on my heart.

This guy is really lucky, making 76K in one shot. I would have been liquidated long ago. Speaking of which, 25x leverage is really not something humans should play with; the risk is ridiculously high. Living to the end is the true winner; this phrase must be engraved in my mind. Winning the bet makes you a big shot, losing it means a complete wipeout. The crypto world is so magical. I’d rather be honest and stick to regular investments; it’s more reassuring than a heartbeat accelerating. But I have to admit, this move was truly brilliant, just a bit too刺激. This kind of market easily gets people hyped up, and then there’s nothing left. Leverage is really a double-edged sword; you can make money fast but also lose it just as quickly. Those who live to exit are the smart ones, understand?

25x on 2.75k eth shorts... sure, that's asymmetric returns *if* the liquidation cascade doesn't trigger first. but let's be real—one wick and homeboy's staring at a margin call. this isn't alpha extraction, it's just glorified roulette with extra steps lol
