On-chain data tracking has uncovered a shocking trading story: renowned trader Machi Big Brother recently decided to add $250,000 to his position to go long on Ethereum. He initially wanted to make a big bet, but was brutally rebuffed by the market—experiencing three liquidation events within just 30 minutes, with his account wiped out by over $22.7 million.
This case is essentially a real-life illustration of leveraged trading. Many believe they understand the market and increase their leverage accordingly, but just a slight movement against their position, and liquidation becomes imminent. Especially in the highly volatile crypto market, reckless operations without proper risk management often lead to tragedy.
Want to avoid these pitfalls? It’s better to discuss how to survive longer in leveraged trading—building solid risk control measures, establishing reasonable stop-loss mechanisms, and managing position sizes are fundamental skills to master.

Loss of 22.7 million in 30 minutes—that's the price of not setting a stop-loss.

Haha, 22.7 million just disappeared like that. This guy is really having a tough time.
---
Leverage is really a trap; so many people have fallen into it.
---
While watching the show, I still need to reflect—am I playing the same way?
---
Three margin calls in 30 minutes... I seriously suspect he's just throwing a tantrum.
---
Basically, it's greed. The market has already given plenty of opportunities.
---
Why is it so hard to execute a stop-loss?
---
Every time I see this kind of news, I think of my own tragedy. It's so real.
---
That's why I now refuse to touch high-leverage trading, isn't it better to stay alive?
---
Position control is really the most important thing, but unfortunately, I realized it too late.

22.7 million disappeared in an instant—that's the price of not setting a stop loss.

Good morning everyone, seeing these liquidation stories reminds me of my painful lessons from early on...
---
Honestly, adding 250,000 and getting three liquidations in 30 minutes is truly outrageous. No risk management is just gambling.
---
Machi's recent performance was indeed disappointing, but to be blunt, this kind of operation happens every day. Only big players are more likely to be exposed.
---
I suggest everyone ask yourself: can you really hold 30x leverage? If the answer is no, then just pass.
---
Those still daring to go all-in with leverage are either riding high on profits or blinded by losses—there's no third option.
---
My only advice: control your position size. Better to miss a wave than get liquidated.
---
This guy lost 22.7 million... I haven't earned that in a year, and he lost it in 30 minutes. Can't help but laugh.
---
Ah, the first lesson of leveraged trading is to respect the risk. Obviously, some people haven't heard of that.

machi getting liquidated three times in thirty mins is textbook greater fool theory... called this months ago when vesting unlocks were incoming. watching liquidations like netflix honestly, the schadenfreude hits different when it's this predictable.

nah machi really said "yolo 25k" and the market said "lmao no" ... literally 30 mins to liquidation speedrun. honestly saved you a few eth by posting this tbh, classic mistake of thinking you can outsmart volatility when volatility literally doesn't care what you think
