90 minutes evaporated 35 million, this level of destruction is indeed outrageous. No matter how much principal there is, it can't withstand this.

90 minutes evaporated 35 million, this is why I don't dare to fully allocate my funds --- Funding fee of 7.7 million? This big investor is really starting to struggle --- The low-position layout was still smashed down, that's just how the market is --- 35 million is gone just like that, I still prefer to be cautious and survive steadily --- Watching others get liquidated, I feel lucky I didn't leverage --- Early investors also can't hold on, this round of market is indeed fierce --- Net unrealized profit is only 5.39 million and I'm still holding on, I really respect that --- The layout at these price levels looks promising, but the volatility directly slapped in the face --- Funding fee of 7.7 million, leverage is truly a double-edged sword --- In just 90 minutes, it was cut in half, this is the daily routine in the crypto world
