An ETH whale had an unrealized profit of 5.3 million but only cashed out 1.28 million. Feeling itchy to trade again, they opened a new position and lost 230,000.

【币界】某平台上ETH持仓第二大的巨鲸，17小时前把拿了快四天的多单清了，落袋128.5万刀。但这哥们其实一度浮盈530万，最后只拿走这点，回撤得有点狠。

更戏剧的在后面——平仓后他又手痒，连开两次ETH多单，结果全亏。这波操作直接回吐23万美元。

算总账的话，三轮ETH做多下来，这鲸鱼最终还是赚了105.5万刀。只是看着那530万的峰值，多少有点意难平。

Haha, even whales get itchy hands sometimes. That's just our daily routine. With a floating profit of 5.3 million, only taking 1.28 million—how strong do you have to be mentally for that? I would've gone all in long ago. After closing the position, opening a new one and losing 230,000—that’s basically paying tuition to the market. In the end, still making 1.05 million isn’t a loss, but that 4.25 million difference... it really stings a bit.

This whale is really too greedy. Couldn't even hold onto 5.3 million. If you can't keep your hands off, you should just cut them off.

Floating profit of 530 down to pocketing 128, then losing 230,000? This is a textbook case of greed causing a healthy factor to collapse—the risk control threshold was breached long ago. --- Even whales can't cure their itchy hands. Opening positions in succession is just playing a dangerous liquidation price game. --- A final profit of 1.05 million sounds nice, but that 5.3 million drawdown... the warning signals for systemic risk are off the charts. --- Going long again after closing out? That trading rhythm is wild—he fell right into the borrowing rate trap. --- From a spectator’s point of view, even big players can’t escape greed, the first domino in a chain reaction. --- Pocketed 1.28 million but once had a floating profit of 5.3 million... That drawdown curve makes me sick; with such high volatility, it’s impossible to control. --- Lost 230,000 in two impulsive trades—hurts more than the gains. This is why I always say you need to de-leverage sooner rather than later. --- If even whales end up like this, retail investors are still dreaming of getting rich overnight here.

This whale is way too greedy, couldn't even hold onto 5.3 million... Got itchy hands, opened a new position and lost another 230,000—this is just human nature, bro. Still, making 1.05 million like this isn't bad, but I still feel sorry for him losing over 4 million.

This guy's mentality has collapsed. Not only did he miss out on 5.3 million, but he also had to lose another 230,000 to feel satisfied. This is the price of greed—even whales can't escape human nature. Itching to trade is really the fatal flaw of traders. Even after pocketing 1.05 million, he's still regretting it. I can't believe it. Damn, from a peak of 5.3 million to only taking home 1.28 million. That drawdown is painful to watch. Opened another position and lost 230,000. This is a classic case of trying to make up for losses but ending up losing even more. To put it simply, it's just not being content. Originally, he could have easily made 1.28 million, but he just had to be greedy. Now look what happened. In the end, he still made a profit, but imagine how tough that process must have been after seeing himself with 5.3 million.
