Over the years in the crypto world, my biggest regret is heavily investing in Dogecoin early on. At that time, Bitcoin hadn't even broken $10,000, yet I went all in on this altcoin, accumulating 3 million coins in spot holdings. It all looked like paper wealth.

In mid-October, I opened a 2x grid contract, but I was immediately liquidated when the price spiked, and my account was wiped out instantly. I thought I could turn things around, so at the beginning of November, I reopened my position and kept doing T+S trades without stopping, ultimately losing half of my wealth.

The most heartbreaking part is—every time Bitcoin surges, Dogecoin can't keep up, but once the market reverses, it crashes wildly. The feeling of helplessness during these one-sided declines is truly devastating. Having experienced all this, I want to tell everyone: the volatility of altcoins is far more fierce than you imagine. Without sufficient funds and risk management skills, it's really best to stay far away.

3 million Dogecoin... How long ago did I rush in? Just thinking about it now makes me regret it. That moment of liquidation was indeed brutal. What's even more brutal is still daring to hold a heavy position in T... Bro, your mental strength is impressive. Altcoins are like this: when Bitcoin rises, they stay still; when Bitcoin falls, they are the first to die. It makes people so angry they want to smash the screen. Why not just transfer directly to the exchange? Anyway, the outcome is the same. Listening to this story gives me chills. My small position suddenly became quite profitable. Having no stop loss is like suicide. I've been burned by this pit too—it's a bloody lesson. Really, for playing with altcoins, keep at most three times your capital; the rest should be kept in Bitcoin to survive. 3 million coins, just saying it brings tears. Are you still holding it now? Futures are meant for making money. Bro, you've really gone all-in this time.

3 million Dogecoin at that time was definitely truly despairing, but to be honest, the moment of grid liquidation was the real turning point.

3 million Dogecoin... How many days and nights of mental preparation does it take to let go of that?

This time, I really can't hold on anymore. 3 million Dogecoin are stacked to the point of liquidation. I knew that contracts are just a ruthless game that eats people without leaving bones.

Haha, 3 million Dogecoin still couldn't escape death. This is the fate of a copycat project. The moment the margin call triggered liquidation must have been truly despairing. I just watched from afar. When Bitcoin rises, Dogecoin can't keep up; when it falls, it actually leads the pack. This logic is really absurd. Still daring to reopen positions—your courage is really big. But after losing half your fortune, you should have learned to stop this time. Grid trading is not for those without sufficient funds; you'll be eaten alive and left with nothing.

3 million Dogecoin, that must be really heartbreaking... But on the other hand, grid liquidation is indeed unpredictable; a single spike and the game is over. The spike liquidation is truly incredible. Even with stop-loss set, it gets instantly killed. It’s so frustrating that you want to smash your keyboard. Altcoins are basically a casino. I understand the feeling of helplessness when Bitcoin can’t lift them. Sometimes I don’t even know whether to hold or sell. That’s why I only trade mainstream coins now. Although the gains are modest, at least I sleep peacefully. It’s much better than constantly watching the market and being on edge. 3 million Dogecoin... what kind of faith recharge was that? Thinking about it now, just the mindset of holding can drive a person crazy. Futures trading is really a double-edged sword. Even 2x leverage can be instantly liquidated. No wonder it discourages so many people. Making T trades is the easiest to become addicted to. At first, I just wanted to make a small profit, but I got more and more hooked. In the end, I lost my initial capital without even realizing it.

It’s clear that this guy was really devastated by Dogecoin, holding 3 million coins that eventually got liquidated and wiped out… Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for him.

Damn, this is the difference between the chosen ones and the retail investors. 3 million Dogecoin is truly a reckless move. Going all-in on a scam coin, I think the risk appetite is too high. The moment the stop-loss was triggered and the position was liquidated, your mentality probably exploded, I suppose. Honestly, it's just that you didn't hold your ground. Doing T (trading) itself is essentially giving money to the exchange. Dogecoin's attributes should have been clear from the start—it's a concentration camp for chasing rallies and selling on dips.
