#加密生态动态追踪 The sudden collapse of the LUNA project on May 11, 2022, caused countless investors to experience extreme wealth erosion. During that shock, some investors witnessed $1.2 million directly wiped out within three days—from a peak market value of several million dollars to only enough for daily expenses.
At that time, LUNA's market cap was high, with 1,000 tokens worth nearly $100,000. Many looked at a 10% decline with hope, thinking there might be a rebound or rescue. But reality was ruthless—by the next morning, the account balance shrank to $700,000. On the third day, the price plummeted from $1 straight down to $0.000001, and exchanges chose to delist the token. In despair, some even sold everything to buy the dip, only to accelerate their losses.
This is not an isolated case. The danger in the crypto market lies in its systemic risks: 24/7 trading without breaks, no circuit breakers, rampant leverage, ruthless liquidation mechanisms, and instant large-volume sell-offs by big players. A 20% daily decline is common here, and experiencing dozens of sharp fluctuations in a year is routine. During Ethereum's drop from $4,000 to $800, whales precisely "liquidated" at the liquidation price.
The survival rule in crypto is brutal: it’s not about how strong your faith is or how deeply you believe in a project, but whether you can stay sober, manage risks, and cut losses in time. Experts never assume "it won't fall again," but instead build comprehensive capital management and risk response plans. Opportunities always favor those who stay calm, strategize, and know when to stop. Surviving in this market requires skills far more than quick gains.

Looking at LUNA this time, it's a classic example of a bottom-fishing trap. The distribution of chips already shows that the main players have long since exited, yet some people are still going all-in around $0.5. This mindset... is just unbelievable.
When the big players dumped, the RSI immediately exploded, and the pattern was already formed. Anyone who understands candlestick charts should have already sold. Yet, some people still see a 10% drop and are dreaming of a rescue—this is the most typical manifestation of retail investor mentality.
It's not a matter of faith; it's a risk control issue. Going all-in without a stop-loss mechanism deserves liquidation.

Luna's move was indeed incredible, watching 1.2 million directly go to zero... It's a bit frightening.

Luna's wave is really outrageous, 1.2 million disappeared in three days, this is the crypto world.
Brothers, without stop-loss, there is no tomorrow.
How much is faith worth? Living is the real winner.
Precise liquidation price to harvest, this is the art of the big players.
How are the group of people who bought the dip doing now?
I just want to know if anyone still believes "it will definitely rebound."
Risk management is never a fancy term; just avoid leverage and don’t go all-in.
The market is never gentle; you have to be colder than it.

I knew that wave of LUNA would blow up long ago. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable watching those people buy the dip again and again... The crypto world still needs to learn to admit defeat.

After witnessing the Luna disaster, I realized that faith is worth nothing... The ones who truly survive are those who cut their losses when they should.

This is Schrödinger's bull market—$1.2 million wiped out in three days, perfectly illustrating the philosophy of a bear market. Honestly, the courage of the guy trying to bottom fish is comparable to Da Vinci's madness; but this time, he didn't paint the Mona Lisa, instead he was left with a corpse.

1.2 million directly wiped out? Oh my, that's why I only play within the amount I can afford to lose... That wave of LUNA really discouraged a lot of people.
