I just saw a radical trader's operation—truly aggressive gameplay.

Here's what happened: after earning a floating profit of $1.8 million on ETH short positions, he didn't take profits but instead used this floating gain to open a BTC short position, adding a scale of $52.48 million at once.

The current situation is even more exaggerated—an initial capital of 3 million USDC has been leveraged to a total short exposure of $152 million, with an actual leverage ratio of up to 35 times. The liquidation line for this position is very close, and a slight adverse movement could trigger a margin call.

Honestly, this kind of rolling position strategy is just a gamble: either make a big profit or lose the entire 3 million principal. The market can be so cruel sometimes—high leverage is always a double-edged sword.

ETH-4,05%

BTC-2,52%

This guy is really crazy, playing with 35x leverage and rolling positions. How low do you think the probability of getting wiped out is?

3 million bets billions in short positions, this is truly a life-and-death moment Wait, has this guy really never heard of Luna? Playing with 35x leverage at such a scale, liquidation is just around the corner It's another story of either becoming a god or meeting one's end I really can't adopt this mindset, I'm scared

This guy is really risking his life, playing with 35x leverage—his heart must be strong. I can understand the thrill of going all in, but the probability of liquidation isn't low, bro. Using unrealized gains to open new positions; doubling up means you're a genius tomorrow, but if you get wiped out, you're an idiot—there's no middle ground. Looking at his position... that liquidation price is a bit risky; we have to pray that the market moves in a single direction next. But on the other hand, this is what a trader should look like—either win big or lose everything. Playing it safe and earning small profits is truly boring. It's really about the bold eat the meat, the cautious drink the soup, but the key is to stay alive and finish this meal.

This guy is really crazy. An unrealized profit of 1.8 million and instead of taking profit, he goes all in. That's a gambler's mentality. Leverage of 35x to short? Clearing out is only a matter of time. Continuing to add positions without taking profit, I don't understand this move at all, pure gambling. If you lose the 3 million principal, so be it. I can't learn this mindset. This kind of trading style, either getting rich overnight or losing everything, is too刺激. Is this what they call a "master"? I think he's a gambler. Treating unrealized gains as real money, how deep is this pit?

35x leverage... This guy is really gambling with his principal and the market's temper, even making me sweat for him.

Oh no, playing with 35x leverage so aggressively, you'll pay the price sooner or later. --- This guy is really daring, with a floating profit of 1.8 million and still continuing to go all-in. I just can't understand. --- Being called aggressive sounds nice; being called a gambler's mentality sounds harsh. Any market reversal turns you into a leek. --- Using 3 million to move a 150 million short position, still playing with the liquidation line so close—how strong must your heart be? --- I have to say, this kind of playstyle is indeed exciting, but the probability of liquidation is just as high as the chance of making big money. --- Rolling the position up to 35x leverage—this is no longer trading, it's gambling with your life. --- Just watching makes me break out in a sweat; one black swan could be game over. --- I just want to know if he ends up 🚀 or 💀. The ending is too uncertain. --- High leverage is truly a poison; once addicted, you can't stop. --- Greed without take-profit will eventually be paid back to the market.
