On-chain data just revealed a thrilling betting event — a large-cap player opened a 25x ETH long position with $12.2 million, with the liquidation line already around 3042. You’re not seeing things; this is the distance from the market price.



Yesterday, he was still quickly adding $200,000 to "save his life," which is no longer trading; it’s pure gambling on the edge of a cliff.

Data speaks: Entry price at 3190, currently floating loss exceeds $20 million. It’s evaporating every second. A 1% market fluctuation could trigger a cascade of liquidations. Although he previously reduced his position, it still remains precarious.

Looking at this scene, one can understand a truth — no matter how much money, leverage can cause bleeding. Many think that following big players will let them win easily, but they don’t realize that when large funds step on the gas, retail investors can’t even get a sip of the soup.

Right now, ETH is struggling to hold around 3080, with bulls and bears on the brink of confrontation. If it loses the critical 3050 level, this huge order will surely be gone, possibly triggering a collapse of a wave of follow-up orders.

Honestly, there are a few points worth pondering:

First, more money adding leverage against the trend is like gambling for one’s life. This is no secret; it’s a raw probability issue.

Second, the "hold and add" approach is often a bottomless pit. Not cutting when it’s time to cut simply turns losses into an abyss.

Third, you can learn from big players’ moves, but never put your own principal on the line for a gamble. Their risk tolerance is not in the same league as yours.

The current question is, will this position ultimately turn danger into safety, or become the most classic negative lesson in the crypto world this year? The market will give the answer.

Oh my god, $12.2 million with 25x leverage? This guy is really playing with fire. This is the curse of leverage; no matter how strong the funds are, they can't withstand playing like this. The key is he's still trying to extend his life. This isn't trading; it's gambler's mentality.

20 million evaporates in one second, this is truly incredible. It’s nerve-wracking just to watch. Even the big shots are human; everyone is equal in the face of leverage. To put it simply, it's a gamble with your life. I think it's risky.

Oh my god, 12.2 million with 25x leverage, this guy really dares to do it. The liquidation price is just a breath away. I think he's playing with fire. This move is truly a textbook example of the wrong way to do it. No matter how much money you have, leverage makes it all pointless. It's too tense. The big shot tramples retail investors and eats their dust, and those following the trend are going to suffer heavy losses this time. Risking your life is not trading. Cutting losses is difficult, but it's better than liquidation. You have to admit defeat when it's time. Just waiting to see if 3050 can hold. It feels uncertain. Once it's broken, this position will be gone. The bottomless pit averaging method is really the biggest trap in the crypto world. So many have fallen here. Every time they wait for a rebound, they end up sinking deeper. If this guy can hold on, he's a legend. If he can't, he's the biggest joke of the year. Hundredfold leverage is like this. Going all-in feels great for a moment, but the liquidation is a crematorium.

This is the legendary "bankruptcy in one second" scene. How did 12.2 million disappear so quickly? It’s painful to watch. 25x leverage is truly a crazy game. Continuing to add to the position is just throwing money away. You should have gotten out earlier. Large funds crashing, retail investors following along as casualties. Never forget this lesson. With 3050 lost, there's basically no hope. Just watch the show.

This guy is probably going to ruin his reputation; 20 million just vanished like that.

Playing with 25x leverage like this is really just building walls with money Adding to positions aggressively will never cure the fate of a sudden crash Once 3050 breaks, it's over; a gambler's mindset can't be changed
