Recently, everyone in the circle has been paying attention to the movements of a mysterious account: a position of 720 million USD, leverage turned up to 4x, and current equity only 180 million USD. Even more outrageous, this brother hasn't touched his position for four full days, just stubbornly riding the rollercoaster market, letting the numbers jump on the screen.

Everyone is pondering: Is this a big shot resting and accumulating strength, or a whale waiting for an opportunity? But as I look at the leverage multiple hanging over his head, the only thought that comes to mind is—this is not discipline, this is dancing on the edge of a knife.

At that moment, I decided: to exchange all my high-volatility positions for stablecoins.

My friend immediately retorted, "He has 180 million USD lying in his account without rushing, why are you rushing with such a small amount?"

I threw out a sentence: "When your 'persistence' depends on leverage and liquidation prices to sustain, you've already lost."

I've seen too many stories—those people endure until dawn, only to be liquidated before sunrise. Leverage is like a tightly stretched string; as soon as a gust of wind blows, it might snap. Behind this big account not moving for four days, it just reflects the real dilemma most people face: is there any way out besides toughing it out?

Yes. I chose stablecoins.

Not all stablecoins are the same. The one I chose has over 130% on-chain over-collateralization, with a price as steady as a rock. This way, I completely detach from that gambling table—no need to endure, because the assets themselves have no volatility; no need to wait, because transparent mechanisms are guarding your value every second.

These two worlds are now separated: one side dancing on the edge of a knife, betting on the future with mental resilience and leverage; the other walking on flat ground, accumulating wealth with stability and verifiable mechanisms. Which side to choose is up to you.

4 days no movement? Then that guy is either dead asleep or waiting for the moment of liquidation. Saying "I've already lost" is spot on; leverage is a ticking time bomb, it will go off sooner or later.

Leverage traders' stories are always the same—either they make a fortune or get liquidated immediately, with no middle ground. --- Haven't moved in 4 days? I think this guy might be numb already, or maybe his phone is out of battery. --- Switching to stablecoins is indeed stable, but honestly, it's a bit boring; I can't feel that adrenaline rush at all. --- 130% collateral sounds good, but the risks in the crypto world are everywhere; no one can guarantee that anything is truly a "rock." --- This paragraph is quite emotional, but in the end, he's just promoting his stablecoin scheme—there's some substance there. --- Holding on and running away, to put it simply, are two extremes of gambler mentality. Most people simply can't match the patience of those who last 4 days. --- I bet this guy's account is actually frozen, or he can't access the exchange at all, which makes him seem so "determined." --- Stablecoins are really only stable for the wealthy; for us, the speed of devaluation of our small assets might be more frightening than volatility.

Dancing on the tip of the sword will eventually lead to a crash, I'm already tired of it --- Four days of inactivity? That’s basically waiting to die, don’t add drama to yourself --- Leverage is just a psychological torment machine, I really can't stand it --- Holding on until dawn and then being liquidated, I've heard this story too many times haha --- Why gamble with big players? Isn’t it better to just stay in stablecoins peacefully? --- That 180 million looks glamorous, but it’s actually just trapped in a rope --- Instead of waiting for the wind to blow, it’s better to find a place where you can sleep peacefully --- Watching others get tense and excited, I just feel lucky that I chose a peaceful path --- No matter how tight the strings are, they will eventually snap, this truth is too painful --- I agree with the last sentence, two worlds are really separated, and choosing which side depends entirely on one’s psychological resilience

This guy really thinks he's an Iron Blood Warrior, not moving his fingers for 4 days... I'm thinking either he's lost his mind or his account has long been liquidated, just mentally preparing himself. Stablecoins are indeed comfortable, but honestly, it's just hiding. The better you hide, the slower you lose. Liquidation is like Schrödinger's margin call—you don't look at the screen, and it's still alive. 130% collateral sounds stable, but when the market crashes, anyone could be at risk... I still trust my risk control more. If someone has 180 million, it doesn't mean much; for big players, that might just be pocket change. Instead of obsessing over their tactics, it's better to think about how your position can survive the next round of volatility.

Not a winner even one second before liquidation, this guy must be acting in a silent film --- Four days of inaction is just willpower? I think it's simply because the phone ran out of battery --- Hard resistance and gambling are not far apart; in plain terms, it's a psychological game --- 1.8 billion is still fighting fiercely, I have already surrendered at 18,000; we are not in the same league --- Leverage is just poison; the higher the multiplier, the more addictive it gets, and in the end, everyone dies before dawn --- I've also thought about switching to stablecoins, but doing so really takes away the fun --- That's the difference between gamblers and retail investors: big players bet on probabilities, we bet on luck --- The tightrope walker will fall sooner or later; I prefer stability over that heartbeat

It's the same story with these stablecoins... I just ask, four days without moving your position—are you really that disciplined? I bet that guy has long been asleep, unable to make any moves. Don't talk about over-collateralization; I thought the same last time, and what happened? My withdrawal card was still cut in half, how stable is that? This article seems to be turning their stop-loss into philosophy. I've seen through it— the harshest contrarian indicator is when people like me start talking about risk management.
