Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】On-chain data shows that a seasoned trader closed a short position of 6,755 ETH at 10:23 AM on January 19, locking in a profit of $241,000. Interestingly, after this liquidation, the account still shows an unrealized loss of $32,000, indicating that this individual’s operations are quite aggressive.

A deeper look into the historical records of this address reveals that this person is a true enthusiast of high leverage—mainstream cryptocurrencies are generally maintained at leverage ratios of 20-40x. Although it sounds terrifying, they indeed have the skill to manage such risks. In just the past month, this account’s net profit has already reached $520,000. This trading logic either makes a huge profit or results in a complete wipeout, with no middle ground.

It's either a gamble for everything—either earning 520,000 per month or going straight to rekt, with no third option. This guy can still survive with 20-40x leverage, I really respect that. I would have been liquidated ten times over. Selling 6,755 ETH in one go to wipe out 240,000—this is the difference between me and whales... Even with an account in profit, the aggressive approach still shows some floating loss. That’s really crazy; I can't learn to do that. Earning 520,000 a month sounds great, but the risk level is too high for ordinary people. One slippage and it's gone. 20-40x leverage? I can't even imagine. It’s probably a combination of gambler’s mentality and skill. Either make a fortune or lose everything—this trader lives a really exciting life, much more thrilling than my conservative strategies.

I can see some clues here. Using 20-40x leverage can still be profitable, which shows that this guy is definitely not just guessing randomly. With this kind of account, a single slippage could wipe it out completely, yet he still earns 520,000 per month. Luck is also part of the skill, right? But to be honest, closing out 6,755 ETH in one go—are you really not worried about liquidity issues?

This guy really has guts. Using 20-40x leverage and still being alive until now shows he definitely has some skills. But this kind of approach is like dancing on the edge of a knife—one wrong judgment and it's game over. I still sleep soundly and can't bring myself to mess around like that.

Damn, this guy is really playing with fire... 20-40x leverage just makes me break out in a cold sweat thinking about it. This kind of trading style is bound to blow up sooner or later. No matter how skilled, you can't withstand a black swan event. A monthly income of 520,000 sounds great, but that's also dancing on the edge of the limit. It could all be gone in the next second.

$240,000 says flat and then flat again, still playing with unrealized losses... This mentality is incredible. If it were me, I would have already run away. $520,000 a month? Really? This guy is either extremely sharp or just walking a tightrope. 20-40x leverage... This isn't trading, it's gambling for your life. It makes me nervous just watching. Large position liquidation with unrealized losses—I really can't understand this logic. Monthly income over half a million? Just thinking about this number makes me dizzy. If I get liquidated once, I’d be zero. This is the difference between experts and us. They play with heartbeat, we play with prayer. 6755 ETH all in one go... Will the next story be "Back to the Stone Age overnight"? Really daring to play. I wouldn't even dare to look at a 40x leverage chart.
