The recent volatility in the crypto market has been quite interesting. On December 28th, on-chain data showed that ZEC broke through the $500 mark. During this rally, a large holder with a position over 3x long made a huge profit, with a single trade earning over $5 million. However, looking at their complete holdings, this whale's overall account is still in a floating loss, with a total loss exceeding $2 million. This situation is actually quite common — a single profitable trade, but the overall position remains underwater due to previous high-level layouts. The market is like this; making money and losing money often come down to a single thought.

A single $5 million profit turned into an overall loss, this is the crypto world haha --- It's the same old story, the nightmare of standing guard at high positions never goes away --- Making 5 million dollars can't save the overall account, how much chasing high does that require --- A typical case of "winning one game but losing the overall picture," it's hard to watch --- How did ZEC suddenly take off this time? Did I miss the opportunity? --- How much did the whale have to bury at high levels to be rescued by this 5 million? --- Sometimes making five million on a single trade actually indicates a problem with your overall strategy, thinking about it carefully is terrifying --- That's why I only focus on big accounts with overall profitability; a single big profit isn't a big deal --- The most heartbreaking truth in the crypto world: making money is easy, not losing money is the real skill

Making 5 million feels great, but overall I still lost 2 million? That's just my daily life, haha.

Haha, the thrill of a single 5 million transaction was slapped awake by a 2 million account floating loss. Isn't this just my daily routine? --- The typical cycle of making money to soothe the soul and losing money to destroy reason—this guy is my mirror image. --- So, the cost of positioning at high levels is relying on subsequent single trades to self-indulge with a burst of暴击. --- Watching 5 million feels great, but overall it's still negative alpha. This is what professional leek farmers call daily self-rescue. --- A moment of thought? No, it's the feeling of making money with one thought and losing until numb with another.
