The strategy sounds logical on the surface. But crypto markets operate differently—black swan events aren't edge cases here, they're recurring patterns. You can run a profitable playbook for months, even years. Then one anomalous event liquidates your entire position. A platform collapse, regulatory shock, or protocol exploit can wipe the slate clean instantly. The difference between traditional markets and digital assets is stark: there's almost no circuit breaker, no cooling-off period. It takes just one catastrophic move to destroy everything you've built. That's the real game in crypto.

Haha, I'm laughing to death. This is exactly what I keep saying... Wake up and it's all gone, just used to it.

You're right, but that's exactly why we're still here... One liquidation and losing everything, and next time I'll still go all in.

This is my daily routine. After running in the industry for ten years, I finally realized a truth: in crypto, there is no such thing as stable losses, only random liquidations.

Is that all? When Luna collapsed last year, I realized that playing a game without a safety net is not worth it.

That was a really harsh statement, but I think it still didn't hit the point. It's not a black swan, it's just that this industry has no ceiling to begin with.

Exactly right, the crypto world is so thrilling — one second in heaven, the next in hell.

Basically, it's a gamble with your life. If a black swan crashes down, everything is gone.

ngl That's why I've always said crypto is a casino; no matter how clever the strategy, you can't prevent sudden black swan events.

That's the truth about crypto—it's not surprising to go back to the pre-liberation era overnight.
