#Strategy加仓BTC Mentougou, 94, 312, 519, LUNA, FTX, these numbers and names mean a painful lesson for veteran players.



In ten years of the crypto world, I have seen too many storms. Newcomers often fantasize about getting rich overnight, but anyone who has entered this market understands—things never follow the usual rules, and a single misjudgment can lead to disaster.

In 2014, the Mentougou incident, 850,000 BTC disappeared out of thin air, causing panic across the entire market. The 2017 94 storm saw market capitalization evaporate by 80% overnight, leaving many lying on the floor crying. In 2020, 312, Ethereum was hammered down to single digits, and countless accounts were wiped clean. In 2021, 519, the derivatives market crashed, 600,000 accounts were liquidated instantly, and leveraged traders were wiped out.

Later, LUNA went to zero, the algorithmic stablecoin fell from grace to the bottom. Then came the FTX collapse, turning exchanges themselves into risks—user funds had no safe harbor.

These are living lessons. The market seems to be constantly advancing, opportunities everywhere, but what is the truth? The market will never follow your script. When the market is hot, those who get carried away are often the ones with the worst memory.

Looking now at $SOL, $ZEC , these coins remain popular, and various projects seem to be riding the waves forward, but you need to think clearly—few people can come out unscathed from these cycles, and those who get rich overnight are even rarer.

True wisdom is not in chasing the hot trends, but in taking each step steadily. Black swans never give advance notice; they often arrive suddenly when the waters are calm. Caution is not cowardice but respect for market laws.
BTC-1.86%
LUNA-5.4%
SOL-3.5%
ZEC-5.07%

I really didn't survive that wave in Mentougou. Looking back at these historical events still makes me a bit scared... Luckily, I learned to be smarter later on.

I wasn't there for that wave in Mentougou, but on 312 I really couldn't hold back, and the account was all red. I'm still reflecting on that mistake...

That time in Mentougou really woke me up. Since then, every big dip has been an opportunity I'm waiting for. Speaking of adding to my BTC position, I truly respect it. It's way better than chasing after those flashy projects. On the day of 312, I wasn't there. I heard from my older brother that it was truly catastrophic. Looking back now, it's all the same pattern—greed leads to death.

I missed that wave in Mentougou, but 312 really made me go into self-isolation, and it took two years to recover. Now, seeing SOL start to stir again, but I've learned my lesson, really.

I still remember that wave in Mentougou. The feeling of lying on the floor really doesn't want to be experienced again. Now, whenever I see someone chasing high, I just want to slap him.
