The extreme volatility of the crypto market can really push people to the brink of collapse.

The most brutal case I’ve seen was during the LUNA catastrophe.

At the time, a friend was holding 10,000 LUNA. The night before, his account still had $1,000,000. Before going to bed, he glanced at it—it had dropped 30%. He thought, “$700,000 is still manageable.” He reassured himself: “UST is only slightly depegged, the team will definitely stabilize it.” Then he went to sleep.

The next morning, he woke up to see his account balance: $10,000.

He was in complete shock. A 99% drop—surely it had bottomed out? He started to convince himself: “Now it’s $1 per coin, if it bounces back to $10, I’ll break even.” Then he threw all his remaining $200,000 in and bought 200,000 LUNA.

He didn’t sleep a wink that night. He watched the price drop from $1 to $0.1, then to $0.0001, and finally to $0.000001… The exchange directly delisted LUNA.

Three days. $1,200,000 turned into an amount not even enough for a breakfast. He lay in bed for a week, unable to get up.

This is the cruelest part of this market—

No trading halt. You go to sleep, and when you wake up, your assets might be gone.
No circuit breakers. A 78% single-day crash? Business as usual.
Entry barriers are terrifyingly low. Download any random app and you’re in; there are always more retail investors.
Leverage everywhere. 10x, 20x leverage is common, with at least 15 single-day swings over 20% each year—a few candles and you’re liquidated.
Altcoins are even more treacherous. A hundredfold gain is possible, but disappearing into nothing is far more common.

Even worse, these disasters often come in waves. Take Q1 2025 for example—three popular projects crashed one after another, wiping out the assets of hundreds of thousands of people in an instant, triggering cascading liquidations with no chance to catch your breath.

Here’s the truth: If you can avoid leverage, do so. If you can stay away from junk coins, do it.

Crypto’s extreme volatility in 2025 has already soared to 18.6%. Many people didn’t get the direction wrong; they just didn’t survive long enough to see the rebound.

In this market, survival is more important than making money. As long as you still have your principal, you still have opportunity.

Only those who can endure the volatility are qualified to talk about profits. Those who dare to act when others panic are the ultimate winners.
