#Strategy加仓BTC 20x leverage but wiped out within 28 days: Greed is the most deadly enemy in the crypto world

"Help me take a look, I’m already trapped."

The first time he came to me, his initial capital of 3800U had shrunk to 1900U. That sense of despair was so intense, I could feel it through the screen.

Seeing his urgency to turn things around, I agreed to help but set a strict rule: I don’t want any profit, but you must follow my instructions completely.

We established several bottom-line rules that could not be broken:

- Keep each position within 12% of total funds to diversify risk
- Withdraw part of the profit whenever there is a gain to lock in earnings
- Once stop-loss is set, execute it decisively with no excuses

Over the next 22 days, we analyzed before the market opens, traded during the day, and reviewed at night. Every step was tightly scheduled.

The account balance started to jump. 1900U → 3000U → 8000U → 25,000U → 52,000U → 76,000U.

A full 20x increase.

But once someone tastes success, rationality begins to loosen.

He started experiencing insomnia, constantly asking on WeChat: "What if I push again?" "Will this coin keep rising?" "Can I try heavy position?"

I repeated the same words over and over: "Holding onto current profits is a hundred times harder than earning this money."

He nodded on the surface but was already controlled by his inner demon.

On the 25th day, I noticed what he did—

He went all-in on a hot small coin. No stop-loss set.

When I saw this move, I knew the outcome.

The account started to retreat. 51%. 76,000U suddenly dropped to 37,000U.

I immediately urged him to cut losses, but what happened? He argued that the opportunity was rare and couldn’t be missed.

I chose to remain silent. Some lessons can only be learned through paying tuition oneself.

On the 28th day, the coin price collapsed.

The 76,000U was finally reduced to only 8,000U.

What hurt even more was that later he asked me: "Why didn’t you stop me?"

My only reply was four words: You decided it yourself.

Since then, I haven’t contacted him again. Not out of anger, but helplessness.

Why tell this story?

Because it’s too common.

Many people in the crypto world have gone from five figures to six figures. But very few can stay sober and disciplined after making profits—only a handful out of hundreds.

Most people lose not at the entry point or the choice of coins, but at the final moment—when the account balance grows, greed fills the heart, and self-discipline collapses.

He won the market but lost to himself.

True trading cultivation is never about learning how to make money, but about learning how not to lose control after earning it.

A turnaround isn’t about the account skyrocketing; it’s about maintaining clarity and discipline while in profit.
