So there I was, trying to explain my portfolio meltdown to my girlfriend.
"Okay, so remember that Monad position I was hyping last month? Yeah, well... Arthur Hayes happened."
She stared at me. "Who?"
"The guy who basically invented perpetual swaps. Trading legend. BitMEX cofounder. When he talks, leverage traders listen."
"And he said something bad about your coin?"
"Publicly FUDded it. Just straight up threw shade at our bags. Market went into panic mode. My unrealized gains? Gone. My hopes? Crushed. My Ramen budget? Extended another six months."
She rolled her eyes. "So one guy tweets and you lose money?"
"When that one guy is Arthur Hayes and you're holding a leveraged alt position? Yes. Absolutely yes. Welcome to crypto, babe."

Hahaha, one sentence from Arthur Hayes can change your fate. It's the destiny of leverage traders—to lie flat and eat dirt.
