Another heavily leveraged long position is dancing on a tightrope.

A well-known investor, Maji, recently experienced a roller-coaster crash with his ETH long position:

Position details:
• Position size: 7,925 ETH
• Leverage: 25x long
• Entry price: $3,057.48
• Liquidation price: $2,990.67

In other words, if ETH drops by less than $70, this position will be wiped out.

The most dramatic part is the P&L swing—

Previously: unrealized profit once exceeded $1.6 million
Now: unrealized loss of $164,000

From +$1.6 million to -$160,000, this curve perfectly illustrates the harsh reality of high-leverage trading:

Reluctant to take profits when ahead, no stop-loss set during drawdowns.

The market won't go easy on you just because you made money before; leverage only amplifies both greed and hesitation by 25 times.

25 times leverage to play with fire, this guy really dares, from +1.6 million to -160,000, back to before liberation overnight. Those who do not set a stop loss are gamblers, should. Only after suffering losses do you understand what risk management is.

From 1.6 million to negative 160,000—this is a textbook example of 25x leverage. Truly insane.

Playing with 25x leverage is playing with fire, you'll get burned sooner or later, bro. --- From 1.6 million to negative 160,000, is this the legendary "biting off more than you can chew"? --- Just by looking at this data, I know there wasn't even a stop-loss line. That's pure gambler mentality. --- The liquidation price was just $70 away... how timid can you be? Glad I never touched this kind of high leverage stuff. --- Too greedy—clearly made 1.6 million but still wanted to double it, and ended up losing everything. --- 25x leverage is just insane. One pullback and it's all gone. It's really gambling with your life. --- Anyone who doesn't set a stop-loss is just asking for trouble—let this be a painful lesson.

From 1.6 million to negative 160,000, this is truly a textbook-level cautionary tale. The cost of not cashing out is a bit heavy.

From 1.6 million to negative 160,000, this is the true nature of the leverage game—it's exhausting just to watch.

Using 25x leverage without setting a stop-loss—just how greedy do you have to be to play like this?

1.6 million evaporated in an instant—this is the true face of 25x leverage. If you can't handle it, don't play.

nah this is just leverage doing what leverage does best... turning paper gains into pure theater. 160k to -164k is wild but also like... predictable? the greed to desperation pipeline hits different when u got 25x on the line, fr fr

Still not stopping loss with 25x leverage? This is playing with fire. Just being able to walk away alive is already a win.

From 1.6 million to -160,000, this is why I never touch 25x leverage... It hurts just to look at it.
