At last month's gathering, my brother raised his glass and laughed, saying: "Fortunately, not all of it ran away that year - the BTC I bought in batches in 2020 is still here, enough for my family to eat for a lifetime."


At that moment, I was stunned. Who could have imagined that the man who sat on the balcony smoking when he faced liquidation back then could make it to today?
That was the craziest time in the market in 2021,
He added 10x leverage to short ETH, while I was liquidated in the SOL contract.
The whole network is shouting "it's going to collapse", but the market pulled back sharply, sending countless leveraged traders to "heaven".
I remember very clearly, that early morning,
ETH skyrocketed to 4200, and his position was liquidated in that moment.
He stared at the pop-up system prompt: "Your account has been liquidated," and his whole body froze.
That was his savings from two years, originally intended for marriage.
When I hurried over, he was squatting on the balcony, smoking one cigarette after another.
At three in the morning, the floor is covered in ash, and no one speaks.
The next day he sent a message—
"Leverage is the devil, I've quit it."
Since then, he has completely changed.
Do not touch leverage, do not play contracts, only do spot.
While others chase trends and gamble on news, he calmly invests in BTC.
Every time the market crashes, he instead laughs and increases his position: "The harder it falls, the more I earn."
Five years have passed,
Most of those who laughed at him for being too conservative back then have long since been liquidated and exited the market.
And with that batch of BTC, he has long achieved financial freedom.
Bought a house by the sea, the child is attending an international school, and my wife walks the dog and basks in the sun every day.
That day he raised his glass and said to me: "Brother, the best strategy in the crypto world is actually just two words - survive."
I laughed and raised my glass as well.
Yes, only those who have experienced liquidation understand.
Surviving in the crypto world is the biggest victory.
I have come out now, what about you?
Ask yourself, do you willingly want to be a leek for a lifetime? Or do you want to be the winner who laughs last?
