The smartest move I made? Diving into Hyperliquid back in June 2023. Sure, I got rekt multiple times that year—liquidations became my unwanted trading buddy. But here's the twist: those painful lessons earned me close to 8,000 points for being an early user.
Sometimes the best plays aren't about avoiding losses—they're about showing up early and staying committed. Those points? They turned out to be life-changing.
Shoutout to the writers covering HL when it was still under the radar, and massive respect to the Hyperliquid team for building something that actually rewards the grinders who stuck around.

Entering early and getting blasted is worth it; the key is not to Rug Pull, haha.

Haha, okay. Early on, mining was indeed the most enjoyable. Since we are going to lose money anyway, it’s better to lose it on something more valuable.

ngl the liquidation-to-airdrop pipeline is genuinely the most underrated trade thesis in crypto rn. getting rekt for 8k points is just... statistically based. 🧪

Entering the market early is indeed tough, getting liquidated a few times and still being able to persevere, that mindset is unmatched. Those 8000 points are indeed valuable; it seems that pain is the best teacher.

empirically speaking, the "stay committed through pain" narrative is exactly how they hook you. showed up early to HL? sure. but let me explain why—survivorship bias is doing heavy lifting in this story. how many got liquidated and actually *didn't* make it back lol

In simple terms, this is a textbook case of survivor bias. The chain of liquidations resulted in an 8000-point gain, which sounds inspiring, but you need to do the math—how many people went bankrupt directly when their health factors dropped to the warning line during that time? In the face of systemic risk, luck plays a much larger role than you might think.

The awareness of early players is different; getting liquidated has instead become the best filtering mechanism.

How can you still take the opposite position and earn 8000 points after being blown up so many times? This move is indeed ruthless; compared to avoiding risks, it's better to trust the early narrative.

Getting on board early is really a gambling mentality. It's worth getting liquidated multiple times.

ngl the liquidation grind is real... got humbled so many times but yeah, early bird catches the worm i guess. those 8k points hit different when you've been through the trenches
