In just ten days, Machi went from a whale to a little fish. The cost has been enormous!
Once a crypto whale, he’s now been backed into a corner by high leverage. Total losses have reached $36.5725 million, with another $4.4356 million lost over the past seven days. His account now has just $279,800 in total assets.

In ten days, he went from a whale to a little fish. High leverage can amplify gains, but it can also destroy an account faster.
