Last night's US military airstrike didn't hit my position, but it pierced my heart. I bought $10,000 worth of ZRO to vote, and in three days, I lost 15%. I staked $5,000 with @aixbt_agent, and in two weeks, it dropped 50%. I bought $8,000 worth of NFTs from @EspressoSys, and in two weeks, I lost 25%. 🔹None of the above three trades were hedged; they were real spot losses. Last night, I had a hedged position on @variational_io, but due to the price difference between the two platforms' oracles, I lost $3,200 in seconds due to a stop-loss. The biggest loss this month was two weeks ago when I gambled $17,000 on @Lighter_xyz. Eager to make it back, I continued to gamble for three days, and in four days, I lost a total of $80,000. That week, I was so scared I couldn't eat; I could only eat one bite of vegetables per meal to feel full. Fortunately, on the fourth day, I cut my losses; otherwise, I would have lost all my principal. I entered the crypto space in 2022; this is my first cycle. I’ve learned a painful lesson, it really hurts. I hope that after this cycle, we can all survive. Then in the second cycle, we can be reborn. Survive! You know, when I lost 50% of my savings at Lighter, how did I stop? I thought about the points I still had with @Backpack_CN, holding onto this last half of my principal, steadily earning Backpack points, and waiting for TGE to make it back. If I continued to gamble on contracts now, I would definitely end up with no place to bury myself! A painful lesson, let’s encourage each other. Survive!
