When a black swan hits, the group chat goes quiet for a second.
Not because nobody’s there, but because everyone is watching the same line. Someone types “It’s over.” Someone disappears completely. Someone’s still asking if it was just a wick. Whether it was a wick or not doesn’t matter anymore. If you’re leveraged, liquidation is right there. You think you still have time to cut your position, but the system has already done it for you.
The quietest case I’ve seen was someone who got liquidated and replied with just one line: “My phone got hot.”
It wasn’t the phone that was hot—it was him, watching until the very last second. During the day, he was calculating how many times his money could multiply. By night, his account was wiped out, and he didn’t even have the energy to explain. Black swans aren’t the scary part. The scary part is having a position so large you can’t survive one. When it hits, you’re not trading—you’re watching yourself get carried out.
Nobody brings this up at the dinner table. Stories about financial freedom are easy to tell; liquidation stories don’t go well with dinner. So a lot of people remember what others made, but forget how close they came to losing everything themselves.
Now I stick to one rule: if a black swan hits, can I still sit down and eat with this position? If yes, I hold it. If not, I cut it first. On Binance Futures, BTC still has the deepest liquidity, followed by ETH. That’s not telling you to stay leveraged and wait for a swan. Just don’t stake your life on a single line.
The swan won’t ask if you’re ready.
