Looking at my investment accounts, I feel a mix of laughter and tears.

Invested 1 million in FIL, now only 80,000 left. 1 million in ICP, shrunk to 30,000. Invested 1 million in EOS, barely holding at 250,000. The 1 million in LUNA is almost gone, leaving just a small amount of 0.5 yuan. Invested 1 million in XCH, now just over 20,000. The 1 million in STEPN is down to 50,000. As for FTT, 1 million went down the drain, wiped out completely. The worst is NOTE, invested 1 million, now less than 3 yuan.

Looking at this, it’s really heartbreaking. I entered these coins at high points, only to witness one crash after another. From FIL’s 92% loss, to ICP’s 97% loss, and then LUNA and FTT being completely wiped out—these are lessons learned through blood. Some projects indeed have fundamental issues, while others were ruthlessly slapped in the face by the market.

The current situation is this—assets in the account have shrunk to a fraction of what they were, some projects have even declared complete failure. This is the price of not having a stop-loss and risk management. If you ask about regrets, of course I regret it, but it’s also experience bought with real money.

FIL-0,75%

ICP0,92%

LUNA1,16%

Damn, this is me... The self-cultivation of a high-point bagholder --- It almost brought tears to my eyes, we really are fellow sufferers --- I'm also in that wave of FIL, now looking at the account, it's all black, I'm done --- Stop loss? What's that, I've never heard of it hahaha --- NOTE invested 1 million and left with 3 bucks? Bro, what are you playing at --- Honestly, these lessons are more expensive than an MBA, I’ve been through it too --- The moment LUNA went to zero, I understood what despair really means --- Being a high-point bagholder is a disease, it needs treatment --- Looking at your account, it's a bit worse than mine, so you win --- The most heartbreaking thing isn't losing money, it's knowing you're the last bagholder --- No risk management is just gambling, we both lost the bet --- FTT going to zero was really brutal, nothing left

This guy is really paying tuition with real gold and silver, it gives me a chill down my spine. Oh my, FIL has gone from 92% loss to now, it takes incredible mental strength to survive until today. I now understand the nightmare of buying in at the high points. By the way, have any of these coins considered getting in? Now they are all at floor prices. The moment LUNA hit zero, the mental state must have been shattered. I can't even imagine. Instead of regretting, it's better to think about how to stop the loss, brother. Continuing like this isn't very meaningful. This is the price of not setting a stop-loss, it's really heartbreaking. The FTT pump and dump was probably the most heartbreaking thing in 2022. The account shrank to a fraction of its original value—that's the gambler's ending. Have you ever thought about cutting losses and getting out, or are you still betting on a rebound? This wave, it's not just a drop of dozens of times, but hundreds of times. Why did so many large amounts get in at the high points? Has anyone ever held on? What I fear most is this kind of no-escape situation, the feeling of an account going to zero. Looking at this number, I think of those zeroed-out coins. I really can't afford to play like this.

Bro, this round really hit the max, the art of catching the high point master --- FIL, ICP, LUNA combo punch, how resilient must that be --- Wait, NOTE is only 3 dollars? Then I’d better go all in right away --- No regrets, this money was worth it, bought a Web3 crash course --- I just want to know if next time I dare to buy at the high point again --- Stop-loss is easy to say, but when it really happens, it’s hard to let go --- At the moment FTT hits zero, everyone is probably stunned --- Looking at this account, it’s a true reflection of 2021 --- The most damaging thing isn’t the loss itself, it’s the moment you start doubting life --- That 1 million LUNA, now you probably wake up from the dream, right

No, this guy is really a living negative example, losing over 7 million in the water. I was also in the FIL and ICP waves, but I didn't bet so aggressively. Looking at his account, it's directly broken. The word "stop loss" really needs to be tattooed on someone. At the moment LUNA was wiped out, I guess the whole person froze, no more smiles. If this account were publicly displayed, it would become the profile picture of a rights protection group. To be honest, next time I must remember one thing: don't all-in on the same type of asset, it's really like swearing an oath. It seems this guy will need three years to get out of the psychological shadow.

The "true artist" who bought the top can't hold it anymore haha --- Over 7 million yuan in water-dumping tuition fees, really expensive, but I bet this experience is worth more than 99% of the leek farmers --- FIL from 92% to ICP's 97%, how resilient must that be... If it were me, I would have lost my mind long ago --- That NOTE was absolutely crazy, 1 million left with 3 yuan, this is not investing, it's stamp collecting --- Honestly, those who didn't cut losses are in this situation now. Looking at your account, I feel relieved haha --- Not many people have both LUNA and FTT wiped to zero, your resume needs to be framed --- Damn, all bought at the high point, how unlucky must that be... or how sharp is your intuition --- A loss of a few tenths of a percent, this is truly experience built with blood, it’s heartbreaking --- The current question is: have you learned to cut losses, or are you still waiting for a rebound? --- That 250,000 EOS is still alive, having this one survivor is quite good, right?

7 million wasted, how harsh must the stop-loss education be --- Those who buy at the high are true warriors, I mean it genuinely --- FIL to ICP to LUNA, it's a collection of failed sets --- NOTE from 1 million to 3 dollars, that's ridiculous, it directly became a commemorative coin --- No one can escape the fate of being trapped at high positions, we are all the same --- To put it simply, it's greed. Not selling at the top, paying this surgical fee is not in vain --- That 1 million in STEPN... don't even mention it, it's heartbreaking --- How desperate was it when FTT was wiped out, it disappeared physically --- Saying 'stop-loss' is easy, but when it comes to critical moments, no one wants to cut --- Only those who can crawl out from here deserve to say they are old money

This is a real-life negative example, over 7 million wiped out, take it easy brother. --- FIL, ICP really left people speechless. Only brave enough to all-in on single coins are true warriors now. --- Losing 97% and still able to smile, that mindset is incredible. --- LUNA and FTT directly wiped out, truly two of the biggest horror stories in the crypto world. --- No stop-loss is really like throwing money in a casino, no wonder who. --- Stories of buying the dip at the high point repeat every bull and bear cycle, but some just can't learn. --- NOTE invested 1 million, now it's less than 3 dollars? How much can it fall? --- Looking at this account, I know what "greed is never satisfied, a snake swallowing an elephant" means. --- If experience is truly valuable, it should be earned by spending millions. This tuition fee is indeed heavy.

This is a classic case of a high-point bagholder's self-redemption, haha, a bit tragic. FTT is really the ultimate, the direct zeroing truly leaves people breathless. By the way, your experience must have cost a fortune, how much did it take to get that? NOTE I thought no one was playing anymore, surprisingly some still hold on stubbornly. Actually, the most heartbreaking thing isn't the loss amount, but watching your former beliefs shatter one by one. If you ask me, this huge loss isn't entirely a bad thing; at least now you understand what risk management is. That 97% on ICP... I really can't imagine how someone’s mentality would explode over that. Are you going for another round? Or are you just planning to lie flat and watch the show?

Brothers, you need to change your stop-loss mindset. Focusing only on mempool monitoring for arbitrage opportunities, how can you still be fully exposed to these positions? --- Honestly, I was also in on the FIL move. With a 92% loss, the liquidation logic should have triggered, so why are you still holding until now? --- The key is chasing high without understanding the fundamentals. This isn't about choosing the right coins; it's a gambler's mentality. --- LUNA is a textbook example of a counter-case. On-chain data has already shown anomalies, so why haven't there been any actions? --- Even if the price gap is tempting, you must set stop-losses. Otherwise, arbitrage bots will outlive you. --- FTT is truly incredible. If only there had been a flash loan escape plan back then, you would have already exited. --- STEPN is ridiculous. That sector is doomed, yet they’re still sleepwalking. How much patience does it take? --- Can this account be turned around now, or should we just consider it tuition? --- Actually, just by looking at your coin selection logic, you can see where the problem lies. You keep chasing high points without any risk management. --- No matter how good gas optimization is, it can't save projects with exploding fundamentals, brother.

Oh my, this is the so-called "Complete Crypto Cycle Experience," hilarious --- Master of the art of catching the top, I respect you as a real man --- FIL to NOTE, isn't this just a complete textbook on how to cut leeks --- Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when it comes to critical moments, everyone has a gambler's mentality --- From over 7 million to just a few hundred thousand, you must have a really tough mindset to call it "experience" --- Looking at your account, it's basically a eulogy for the 2021 bull market --- NOTE from 1 million to 3 yuan? This isn't investing, it's an art performance --- If you ask me, these projects should have been wiped out long ago, you're actually lucky --- Really didn't expect to see someone master the skill of "buying high" to the extreme --- LUNA, FTT losing everything that year, that lesson is worth 7 million --- What can still be seen in the account now? All just dead investments
