Recentlly hit by two events in a row. One is a special discussion by economic media about how ordinary people can completely collapse due to an accident; the other is a line from a TV series—"As long as you keep your bottom line low enough, life can't catch up with you." When these two perspectives are viewed together, it’s like a survival manual tailored for the crypto circle.

Let me ask you a harsh question: over the past few years, how many times have you been "cleansed" in the circle? Was it the leveraged traders who were instantly wiped out during last year's tariff storm, or the group of people whose funds were taken by some major projects? Currently, the circle is discussing a concept, roughly saying how fragile the financial defenses of ordinary people are, and that any shock can plunge you into an abyss.

But from my 8 years of experience in the field, the more ironic part about the crypto circle's "cleansing line" is—it's not an objective fate that exists, but rather a trap designed specifically for those who still have a bottom line.

The essence of the "cleansing line" in the crypto circle is the critical point where assets instantly drop to zero under low tolerance for errors. It could be a high leverage liquidation, a project team running away, or a hacker stealing your coins. Unlike the slow financial decline in reality, here the "cleansing" often completes within minutes, with no buffer or rescue mechanism at all.

So why do I say "if your bottom line is low enough, there is no cleansing line"? This is not some fallacy. I have seen too many real cases; this is the hard truth. First and most importantly: abandoning those "value beliefs" can help you avoid 80% of the traps in the circle. There is now a popular mindset that treats all public chains and projects as speculative chips, with no beliefs whatsoever. It sounds cynical, but it is precisely the key to survival.
