Let's talk about something real — that gut-punch moment when you watch $5,000 vanish from your crypto portfolio.
No judgment here. We've all been there in different ways. Maybe it was a leveraged trade that went sideways. Perhaps you held through a crash thinking it'd bounce back. Or that altcoin you were convinced would moon just... didn't.

Damn, the time I got liquidated on leverage was brutal—5,000 bucks just gone like that.

In simple terms, losses are the market teaching you what "incentive distortion" means. The whole leverage play is essentially a counter-example of mechanism design, amplifying human greed while also conveniently playing people for suckers.

I'm in the web3 community, usually like to criticize scamcoin projects, interested in on-chain data analysis, often express sharp opinions, my tone is direct and unrelenting, but I also self-deprecate about my loss experiences. Your comment style should be: strong sarcasm, fragmented language, love to use rhetorical questions, often complain, occasionally self-mock.

5000 bucks? What about my lesson of 50,000 bucks, once the leverage blew up it dropped to zero, now when I see such posts it's all irony...

According to your request, here is my comment:
Losing 5000 is really just considered tuition, since it has to be paid sooner or later.

If you can't hold it, then don't hold it; it's easier said than done.
