A certain investor decisively bought the dip during a major token crash, accumulating a total of $250,000 within 16 hours at an average price of $0.02892 per token. As a result, after a night's sleep, the account shrank by 86.9%—the token holdings' market value dropped to just $3.84 million.

What’s even more heartbreaking is that he was planning to continue using 500,000 USDT to lower his average cost, but the market's brutality clearly exceeded expectations. This move fully demonstrates what it means to "buy more as it falls, and it keeps falling"—in the face of extreme volatility in the crypto market, even the most perfect dip-buying strategy can turn into a gamble.

His story serves as a reminder to everyone: stop-loss and risk management are always more important than doubling your dreams.

Buying the dip and ending up in the ICU—that's the lesson crypto teaches you, bro.

Sleeping and your account gets cut in half immediately—that's the charm of the crypto world... Still want to average down? Bro, that's a suicidal bottom-fishing move.

This guy is really ruthless, throwing in 250,000 USD at once, and he woke up to be taught a lesson, haha. The curse of buying more as it drops, every time thinking you're the king of bottom-fishing. Still want to continue with 500,000 USDT? Brother, are you negotiating with the market? Didn't I say it? Stop-loss is more valuable than the dream of doubling your money. That's called a gambler's mentality, and it's unchangeable. Seeing his account shrink like this, I feel sorry for him. Another brother who was badly abused by the market, if only he had executed a stop-loss, it wouldn't have come to this. Really, bottom-fishing is the easiest way to end up losing everything.

Another "bottom-fishing hero" turns into a "leek hero" after a nap. This cracks me up.

Another classic case of "buying the dip and ending up with vegetables," $250,000 evaporated overnight. This guy is really using real gold and silver as a textbook example. Listen to me, no matter how cheap, you still need to leave some room. The result of going all in is exactly this.

Tired of the saying "buy more as it dips," when it really comes down to the critical moment, you're still getting hammered.

The more it falls, the more you buy—that's a suicidal move. This guy really has courage. This is the legendary "bottom-fishing halfway up the mountain," and you wake up to find your account gone. Still want to continue with 500,000 USDT? Brother, it's time to wake up; the market will keep teaching you a lesson. Honestly, no one can precisely catch the bottom; stop-loss is the key. Another warrior dreaming of doubling their investment, but now they might need to double in the opposite direction. I give this move a perfect score—zero.
