Invested $2600 in $XION and watched it plummet to $550. That's roughly 79% down from entry. The painful part isn't just the numbers—it's wondering what went wrong. Did I miss the fundamentals? Entered at the wrong cycle? Or is this just how volatile layer-1 tokens behave during bear cycles?
Honestly, this hits different when it's your capital on the line. These kinds of swings are why position sizing and stops matter, even in crypto where everyone talks big. $XION had momentum but clearly couldn't hold it. Anyone else riding similar losses right now, or did you exit earlier?

79% directly gg, this is the cost of not setting stop-loss, brother
---
Had already seen that XION was going to underperform, too bad I didn't call it out earlier
---
Controlling position size sounds simple, but when you really throw money in, you can't think about all this, lessons learned the hard way
---
This wave of L1 really was a complete wipeout, no one can escape
---
I'm also in this pit, with the mentality of $550, I don't want to look at the account
---
Instead of asking where it went wrong, it's better to ask how to avoid it next time, that's the key
---
Honestly, stop-loss orders, no matter how many you set, are useless; in critical moments, you'll still hesitate
---
XION's story once again proves that hype ≠ future
---
Missing out on fundamentals is nonsense; mainly, I entered out of spite
---
Now worrying about whether it's a bear market is already too late, brother

79% loss, brother, that's brutal. It pains me to see it.
I've told you guys before, no stop-loss is just gambling, not investing.
I've also looked into XION; it's just a story coin, and the fundamentals can't support it.

I should have listened to advice and cut my losses earlier. The feeling of losing 2600 bucks is truly heartbreaking.

79% Exit, brother, how strong is your heart... it even hurts me to watch
---
I should have gone all-in on Bitcoin earlier; I really can't figure out these L1 coins
---
Losses are the best tuition; next time, remember not to chase highs
---
How did XION's fundamentals suddenly collapse? Does anyone know what happened?
---
Saying stop-loss is easy; actually doing it is hard. Who can really cut losses at -70%?
---
That's why I only dare to try new coins with small amounts now. I've learned too many bloody lessons
---
In fact, admitting defeat and taking losses early is a winner's mindset; it's much better than holding on and waiting for a rebound
---
I've been cut too; only later did I realize that you shouldn't touch coins you don't understand
---
2600 yuan down to 550... looking at this number, I need a long time to recover
---
The problem isn't XION, but that our group always thinks about getting rich overnight

79%... Fuck, how desperate this is. It should have been cut a long time ago
