Thinking about getting wrecked in crypto? Here's the playbook most people follow without realizing it. FOMO buying at all-time highs—classic move. You see Bitcoin or some altcoin pumping hard, skip the research, throw your life savings at it. Watch it tank 60% the next week. Leverage trading without understanding liquidation levels? Chef's kiss. Open a 10x position, miss one candle, get liquidated. Gone. Then there's holding coins with zero fundamentals, no team, no roadmap—just vibes and Discord hype. Aping into every new token launch because "early investors make it." Spoiler: they don't. No stop losses, no position sizing, no portfolio strategy—just raw gambling dressed up as investing. Keeping funds on sketchy exchanges or in wallets you don't control. Security breaches happen, they disappear. And the ultimate move? Panic selling at the bottom after holding through weeks of losses. You lock in the losses, then watch the price recover without you. The crypto market rewards patience, research, and discipline. Skip those, and you're basically speedrunning wealth destruction.

Ah... you're so right. I've seen too many people ruin themselves by playing like that.

Haha, really, with 10x leverage, one candlestick is gone. I've seen this kind of operation too many times.

Haha, the part about 10x leverage was spot on. I've seen too many people lose everything on just one candlestick.

Honestly, I was really touched by the part about 10x leverage. How many large addresses did I see last year adding margin crazily at liquidation levels? When I checked the on-chain data, it was back to zero within five minutes.
