I heard from a friend that a trader he knows almost lost everything and was ruined because of trading cryptocurrencies. The cause was very simple—this guy wanted to add to his position and asked his wife for money, but she refused. In a moment of impulse, he flipped the table. His wife turned around and went back to her parents' house, and the next day she came back with a ready divorce agreement. Neither of them said much more, and they just went ahead and divorced.

This incident suddenly made me realize why the divorce rate in the crypto world is so high. Being a trader is truly not a job that just anyone can do. Long hours watching the market, emotional fluctuations, heavy financial pressure—these can tear a family apart. Especially when the market is not doing well, the anxiety and impatience are most likely to turn into harm to those around you. The crypto space is not only a high-risk investment field but also an extreme test of quality of life and interpersonal relationships.

That's why I advise people not to go all-in in the crypto world; no matter how much you earn, if you lose your family, it's all for nothing. The moment you flip the table, you've already lost; no amount of gains can make up for it. Honestly, trading cryptocurrencies can really drive people crazy; once your mindset collapses, it's all over. In the crypto world, you're not just killing your account, you're destroying your family, brother. This guy probably just now realizes that you can only choose between topping up your position and marriage. People who stare at K-line charts every day have long lost sight of what's truly valuable in life. When the market drops, they blame their wife; when it rises, they want to add to their position. This cycle can never be broken. Divorce agreements are ready, and this wife is really tough. I just want to ask, no matter how many coins you earn, what's the point if you're divorced? The worst thing is this kind of person—treats the family like an ATM and the wife like an opponent.

Oh my, this guy is really way off the mark. A single incident can turn life upside down. In the crypto world, people really live on the edge, even their wives become victims of the market. Just reading this story gives me chills. Luckily, I’m just a small retail investor and don’t dare to go all in. Adding to your position to the point of divorce must be incredibly hopeless... I feel sorry for that woman. This is why I say traders should take care of their families first before thinking about flipping their accounts; they are putting the cart before the horse. In the crypto world, cutting leeks and even cutting your own wife—this move is absolutely crazy. It’s really just about having the right mindset. When the market is bad, don’t take your frustrations out on your family. After reading this story, I think holding coins is just as hard as managing a household.

Here are some distinctive-style comments: --- Once you flip the table, there's really no turning back. This is the price of the crypto world. --- Watching the market obsessively for too long drives people crazy, and the family is the first to collapse. --- Replenishing positions... is it worth risking a marriage? I just can't figure it out. --- My wife directly brought back the agreement—her calmness is truly remarkable. --- I've heard too many stories of traders in the crypto world losing everything; it's really not an exaggeration. --- When the market crashes, your temper also crashes, and those around you suffer the most. --- Getting rejected when asking your wife for money and flipping the table—this mindset really needs reflection. --- Not everyone can handle the psychological pressure of watching the market; families are just lost like that. --- Why go all in? Aren't there other ways to make a living? --- This story is a bit harsh, but the crypto world really is a love killer.

Doubling down on the position wiped out my marriage, it's crazy --- That's why I advise friends not to go all in on crypto --- Honestly, it's still a mental breakdown; no one can tolerate bad market conditions --- I've seen many people in the crypto world lose everything, marriages are the most fragile --- I guess he only regretted it when he slammed the table, but it was too late --- Staring at the market for a long time really can drive you crazy, it's no exaggeration --- Divorce agreements are already prepared; his wife must have thought it through long ago --- Losing money can be recovered, but losing your family is truly gone forever --- Crypto traders are like pressure cookers, sooner or later they will explode --- I think this guy simply doesn't know his own strength --- High financial pressure + psychological fluctuations = family earthquake, the formula is that simple

Losing your family and life just to top up your position, this guy really can't hold on anymore. People in the crypto circle are indeed prone to domestic violence, staring at the screen until they go insane. The moment I flipped the table, I knew this marriage was beyond saving. My sister countered with an agreement and immediately took him down; her tactics are top-notch. Having a wife who doesn't let you go all-in but instead saves your life—that's true love. Losing money and losing your family, is it worth it, everyone? The high divorce rate in the crypto world isn't without reason—just two words: greed. I just want to know if this guy is still reflecting now. Actually, family is more important than crypto, but crypto people just can't see through it. That moment when I flipped the table, it was probably the end; women are not to be messed with.

Oh wow, are you getting divorced? Going all in and ruining your life --- The issue of needing money to top up your position, honestly, is that gambling instinct overpowering human nature --- People who watch the market closely are really prone to losing control of their emotions. I've seen quite a few like that --- The crypto world indeed tests marriages, much more than technical skills --- My cousin is the same way. When the market drops, he starts smashing things. Later, his wife moved out directly --- That's right, people who lose money are most likely to take it out on their family --- That's why you need to set stop-losses, not just for your trades but also for your life --- When financial pressure becomes heavy, even the best relationships can't hold up --- I really didn't expect the divorce rate in crypto to be so high. Now I understand --- So I insist on not using family money to play with crypto, to avoid ruining relationships
