Another massacre, 74,132 people buried together. Be careful everyone. 1.53 million single liquidation? How greedy do you have to be to cause such a massive crash? Both longs and shorts are losing money, indicating the market is really chaotic. No one can escape. $167 million, that’s enough to buy many good projects. ETH liquidation is so fierce, it feels like someone is deliberately shaking out the market. Leverage is just a gambler’s game. I quit long ago. Looking at the data, BTC is relatively restrained, but ETH is the grim reaper today. In this kind of market, those still using leverage are either brave or fools. $167 million liquidated in one day—cryptocurrency is truly a meat grinder. Even the bears didn’t escape, indicating this drop was quite fierce. What should the guy with 1.53 million do now? Just quit the scene.

It's one of those days again, with over 74,000 people liquidated, making my scalp tingle. No one comes out of this well; a complete wipeout for both bulls and bears is no joke. A $1.53 million liquidation in one go—what kind of leverage is that... Honestly, isn't it better to stick to the basics? Why go for all these tricks?

I lost $167 million just like that, all my hard-earned money is in there. ETH is always the worst, can you really play with this coin? 153 million in a single liquidation? Oh my, how much leverage is that... 74,132 people buried with it. Can someone tell me how to survive? Neither bulls nor bears have a way out; indeed, leverage is the original sin. The data looks a bit uncomfortable, but I will still keep playing. This liquidation was really brutal, I have to borrow money from friends to cover the margin again. The maximum was .61 million... How is this guy doing now?

1.53 million exploded in a single order. What kind of leverage is that? Oh my god... If the platform doesn't have a major issue, that would be unbelievable.

$167 million liquidation, another good day... Leverage is really a good thing. ETH with a position of 1.53 million liquidated, that guy must be feeling heartbroken... Liquidation waves happen several times a month, which is quite normal; the question is whether you have bullets to add to your position. 74,132 people buried together, that number is a bit painful to look at. Both bulls and bears got slapped in the face, indicating that no one can predict this wave of market trends, it's outrageous. Seeing this kind of news makes me think of the saying: those who don't use leverage will never get liquidated, but they also earn less. $167 million gone, someone's Lambo dream has been shattered once again.

Another wave of liquidation is coming, with 167 million directly wiped out. Luckily, I didn't use leverage. 1.53 million individual liquidations—this is probably how much the guys' assets have disappeared. 74,132 people being liquidated at the same time—this number is pretty brutal. Both bulls and bears are dead; this is the advantage of spot trading. Wait, both BTC and ETH are so fierce—why does it feel like the entire chain is raining? I'm numb. Seeing this kind of data every day—shouldn't I have cut losses earlier? When the liquidation wave hits, a bunch of people have their dreams shattered, but I'm still just messing around. 167 million—how many people can this feed?

Another bloodbath day, 74,132 people liquidated, nobody's getting out alive. 167 million gone overnight just like that, those playing with leverage really need to reflect. 1.53 million in a single liquidation? That's some serious all-in moves, respect the guts. Long and short both decimated, the market is that ruthless, there are never any winners. Futures contracts are just a meat grinder, stories of total losses happening every single day. Looking at these numbers, I know another batch of people are gonna be eating dirt for the rest of the year.
