A band trading whale's recent actions have attracted considerable attention. This address chose to cut losses and exit during intense market volatility, incurring a loss of up to $15.3 million. However, instead of being discouraged, it continued to add to long positions on BTC and ETH, using 20x leverage to bottom fish. Currently, the total holdings of this account have risen back to $272 million. Based on this series of actions, this whale remains optimistic about the rebound opportunity in the current market.

15.3 million in losses and still dare to go all-in with 20x leverage... This mental toughness, I really can't learn it --- After the whale's loss, they keep adding positions. That's called a gambler's mentality. We retail investors can't afford to play like that --- Wow, they stop-loss at 15.3 million and continue to buy in as if nothing happened. My mindset is far from that --- Looking at this operation, I think of my own strategy in 2018. In the end, I was taught a lesson by the market --- 20x leverage to bottom fish? This guy really has courage... or maybe he's just rich and reckless [偷笑] --- With an account size of 272 million, a loss is just a small wave to them. For us retail investors, a few months' salary is gone --- This is what I call true "bagholder spirit," but they have strong capital to turn things around --- Hmm, I notice this brother's trading logic is exactly the same as mine back then... and you all know the result

Stop loss at 15.3 million, still able to leverage for bottom fishing. This mindset is truly incredible... Either you're awesome or you're crazy.

$15.3 million loss and still so decisive in adding positions, truly a strong mindset. I need to learn this kind of resolve. --- Using 20x leverage to buy the dip—this whale is either smart or really crazy, no middle ground. --- From stop-loss to turnaround, a position size of 272 million shows they see things very clearly. I just can't do that. --- With this mindset, risking more after a loss—if it were me, I’d have already given up, haha. --- Being optimistic is fine, but 20x leverage makes me a bit nervous. One quick dip could liquidate the position. --- The key is they dare to enter at the lowest point—that’s the difference between whales and us. --- This operational logic is basically believing that the bottom has already arrived, and when the rebound comes, it’s straight to take off.

Still risking 15.3 million with 20x leverage to buy the dip? This mental resilience is truly remarkable.

15.3 million losses still dare to use 20x leverage, this whale is really ruthless --- Well... this is the difference between me and the whale. I cut losses and run, while they add leverage to buy the dip --- Adding more after a loss? How strong must their mental resilience be? I would have given up long ago --- Position size of 272 million, really can't come up with this money --- Looking at this trading style, this whale is just an old gambler, but it seems they really got it right

ngl, the algorithmic beauty of this whale's risk management strategy—cutting losses at $15.3M then immediately deploying 20x leverage for the rebound... *that's* what computational conviction looks like. the hash values don't lie, they just reveal who understands market topology vs who's trapped in web2 thinking
