I Lost Three Months’ Salary Copy-Trading That Night
Ajie stared at his phone screen, his fingers trembling slightly.
Just three hours earlier, he’d seen a post in a crypto group from a big-name influencer called “On-Chain Lao Wang”: “LSK is about to take off. Target: 1U. A tenfold gain is no dream. I’ve already gone all in.” Attached was a screenshot showing a 50x long opened at 0.18, with the unrealized profit figure glaringly prominent.
Ajie’s heart started racing. He checked his account: 30,000 USDT, the salary he’d saved over three months. His common sense told him not to act impulsively, but the group was already going wild, with dozens of people spamming “I’m in, I’m in!” and “Lao Wang’s taking us to the moon!”
He gritted his teeth and opened a 20x long at 0.19, putting his entire 30,000 USDT balance into the trade. By the time he hit confirm, his palms were drenched in sweat.
For the first half hour, LSK slowly climbed from 0.19 to 0.195, and his account showed an unrealized profit of 500 USDT. He was so excited he nearly shouted. He quickly took a screenshot and posted it to his social media. Then “Lao Wang” sent another message in the group: “See? It’s starting to pump! Hold on and don’t move! Target: 0.25!”
Then the nightmare began.
LSK suddenly plunged like a kite with its string cut. 0.185, 0.18, 0.175. Ajie’s unrealized profit instantly turned into a massive loss. The numbers jumped every second, like a knife stabbing into his heart. He frantically refreshed the page, watching the liquidation price draw closer and closer.
“It’s fine, it’ll bounce back. Lao Wang said to hold!” someone in the group stubbornly insisted.
But LSK gave no one a chance. 0.1743—the low for the night. Ajie’s position was forcibly closed by the system at 0.1751. A pop-up appeared: “Your position has been liquidated.” 30,000 USDT, wiped out in less than forty minutes.
He slumped in his chair, the cold glow of his phone lighting up his pale face. The group had gone completely silent. Everyone who’d been shouting “I’m in!” moments earlier had stopped talking. He opened “On-Chain Lao Wang’s” profile. The avatar had turned gray, and the call to buy had been quietly deleted, as if it had never existed.
Ajie opened the candlestick chart and watched LSK slowly climb from its low of 0.1743 back to 0.204. It had risen 17 percent, but he’d already been thrown off the ride. If only he hadn’t used futures. If only he hadn’t used 20x leverage. If only he’d listened to the veterans who’d warned him to “stay away from futures.”
But there are no “ifs” in this world.
He turned off his phone and walked out onto the balcony. The early-morning wind blew against his face, cold as ice. He remembered when he first entered the crypto world three years ago. A veteran had told him: “There’s never a shortage of opportunities in crypto. What’s in short supply are people who are still in the game.”
He was still here. But his pockets were empty.
