I wanted to make some profit through the points race, but ended up being exploited by the points race instead.

Recently, I was playing on a major exchange's points race, planning to accumulate trading points through activities like Opinion and standx. I happened to be bullish on BTC, so I opened a long position, intending to earn trading fee points while holding the position and waiting for the price to rise. The plan seemed solid.

Who knew, suddenly my computer broke down, and I couldn't log into my wallet to check my positions for a while. I thought it was just a matter of a few days, but when I finally turned on the computer, I saw a liquidation notification in my account—lost 7,000 yuan.

The most ridiculous part is, that 7,000 yuan was exactly the price of my computer. It’s as if I lost a whole computer just like that. With this level of loss, it’s equivalent to losing the value of seven computers all at once.

This experience taught me a lesson: no matter how promising a coin or an enticing points race seems, if you can't monitor your positions at all times, risks can come in ways you never expect. Especially with leveraged positions, hardware failures, network outages—these everyday accidents can be fatal in the trading market.

This is Schrödinger's bull market—when the computer crashes, BTC crashes along with it. The art of leveraged trading lies here—perfectly illustrating the philosophy of a bear market. Your 7000 yuan has become the best tuition fee. According to traditional economic supply and demand curves, your move is actually a perfect counterexample. Hardware failures can also lead to liquidation—what a brilliant trading art. So, everyone, those so-called "stable income" points race tracks, the floor price will always be your stop-loss line. Not monitoring your positions is like exposing yourself to the market’s knife; the spirit of Web3 decentralization can't save your leverage. Now you understand—ROI of gains and risks will never deceive you.

Haha, this is too crazy. The computer crashes and gets liquidated directly, really worth the price of a new computer. You can't go leverage trading without an internet connection, brother, that's too dangerous. By the way, the points trading track isn't that easy to exploit, you still need to be cautious. Feels like this guy is really unlucky, but it's also a lesson. Leverage trading is not a game, one accident and it's gone. Why open a long position without a stop loss? Isn't that asking for trouble? Both the computer and the coins are gone, what a special fate, haha. When you’re optimistic about a coin, you also need to watch your network environment. Now you’ve learned to be smart, don’t play with fire like this next time. Holding coins steadily is really much better than this kind of trading track.

The fate of leverage players: even if the computer crashes, the position must be sacrificed.

Damn, my computer crashed and I got liquidated directly. This luck is really incredible—trying to earn some profit but ended up getting shaved off instead.
