The first thing in the morning, the news appeared on my screen and I was like, "What? How?" Not until I've read the
full article in this link and I've found out the real reason why he did that.
He actually lost 2,000 bitcoin, super duper big amount of money is involved here. Let's say the price of bitcoin now is $8,000 x 2,000 btc = $16,000,000 with a
SHORT ENTRY AND HIGHEST LEVERAGE. He was liquidated because it immediately made a sideway.
Yi is a co-founder and CEO of market analysis crypto playform BTE. Well, I was not familiar with their company. His ex-partner revealed Yi's dead on June 5 which made some rumors that it is just an exit scam and fake his death to escape from his clients. We don't really know the truth behind it.
This is indeed a lesson for all crypto traders around the world. We just can't put an entry if we can't afford to lose. Yes, it is a huge amount. But that was just a money. I mean., we can not just die because of it. Life is beautiful and we have family and friends. The main reason we are living. We can just earn money, we can earn that $16,000,000 for lifetime. Lol.
But personally speaking, please crypto trader. I know we sometimes make an entry without thinking. But we can actually:
- Set STOP LOSS
- Enter SMALL LEVERAGE like 5x-10x only. UNDERSTAND how leveraged really works.
- DO NOT BE GREEDY
- Think of your family before you BET ALL in your capital
- Even the best TECHNICAL ANALYSIS will be useless when whales or the market is not in your side
Crypto Traders. I am very disappointed and was disturbed with the news. Big part of me was devastated. Please be careful on our entry, my fellow margin traders.
This lesson goes out to the greedy ones out there, at least with his story, they can see how not setting priority right destroys and how greed is the best killer. At first, he made a very wrong move to have invested such among of money in one trade, he could have used half to trade and keep half for long term investment which is still the safest for now. It is still greed that made him to exceeded spot trade and go for margin trade. I hope his soul rest in perfect peace.
There is still nothing as good as holding, with holding, you are guaranteed that you will always get your money back even if the price goes down. Look at people that invested when Bitcoin was $20k, they have still not lost, and they will be able to get their money back when Bitcoin goes back to $20k.
