It's been a while since I last paid attention to the USDT decoupling risk. Yesterday, I wanted to liquidate some positions, and the moment I saw the price, I was completely caught off guard.

After a careful calculation, I realized that USDT makes up the majority of my investment portfolio. My total assets quietly dropped from 71,100 to 68,800, a decline of over 3%. And this happened without any aggressive moves.

This wave of loss is truly textbook-level. Reflecting on it, where did the problem lie? It's actually very simple—going all-in on a single asset has never been a good idea, even if that asset is claimed to be "stable" like USDT.

When you bet all your chips on one basket, any slight market fluctuation can directly impact your overall returns. Decoupling, policy changes, liquidity fluctuations... any of these risks can shatter your profit illusions.

The biggest lesson is: even if you're optimistic about a certain asset, you must understand diversification. The market always reminds us that there is no such thing as a completely safe investment.

This is the cost of going all-in; USDT is not a safe haven either.

Stablecoins can also decouple, and this lesson is very profound. Going all-in is truly playing with fire.

All-in on a single asset is essentially like a contract without permission control—looks fine on the surface, but the risk is just a trigger away. Even stablecoins like USDT can drop by 3%, which shows that the fragility of the infrastructure is far more serious than most people imagine. Next time, we should approach it like an audit, listing all the risks and breaking them down one by one.

Haha, I broke my defense. I said that all-in stablecoins is a false proposition. Speaking of which, it was about time to diversify. The days of putting all eggs in one basket should really be over. I also got caught during the USDT decoupling wave. Now I see everything should be divided into three parts.

3% directly breaks the defense? Brother, you need to work on your mentality. --- USDT stablecoin will also decouple; this has long been something to get used to. --- Going all-in on a single asset and still calling it stablecoin insurance—what's the point? --- From 70,000 to 68,000 just like that; the real storm hasn't even arrived yet. --- Diversified allocation sounds easy, but when it comes to critical moments, everything drops together. --- So do you still dare to bet big on USDT? I'm honestly a bit scared now. --- Is this what you call textbook-level losses? I once lost 20% in one night. --- Stablecoin dreams shattered; next time, I need to find a real safe haven.
