Just looking at these numbers is enough to make your jaw drop—since 2025, the total nominal amount of forced liquidations across the entire network has reached $154.64 billion. To put it another way, leverage positions averaging $4 to $5 million per day are constantly being reshuffled. The crash on October 11? That was the most brutal textbook example.

Honestly, too many people enter this market with the dream of getting rich overnight. They aim for big profits on a single trade, but what happens? It often ends up as a massive loss, leaving them in debt. Looking at those accounts that got liquidated, you wonder—is this a casino or a market?

The truth is simple—there are no eternal winners in this market. People only remember those who survive long enough. Profit and loss are balanced; behind the thrill of a big win on a single trade, there's often a step away from liquidation into the abyss. Many leverage traders have flipped their positions this way—one moment in heaven, the next in hell.

154.6 billion USD? That's the gambler's grave, still washing 400 to 500 million daily, crazy, crazy. I personally saw a buddy blow up during the October wave, he was still talking about doubling his money. Honestly, it's a game of probability; the one who survives the longest is the winner. What happened to those shouting about getting rich overnight? One step to heaven, one step to hell. I've seen too many stories like that. Leverage is really just gambling with your life. Luckily, I only do spot trading now.

Talking about liquidation stories again. I was also stunned by the October wave, almost followed the trend and added leverage. Luckily, I didn't act recklessly.

October 11th was truly incredible, watching the liquidation orders fall like dumplings… --- 154.64 billion is no small number; how many people have to go bankrupt because of it? --- Leverage is just a step away from heaven and hell. I've seen too many experts fall. --- Honestly, it's still greed. Always wanting to turn things around in one shot, but ending up in the hospital instead. --- Living a long life is the real winner. That hits hard. --- The difference between a casino and the market is right here; most people don't understand it. --- How are those heavily in debt supposed to pay it back? I really feel for them. --- An average daily wash of $400 to $500 million… once this data comes out, you know how deep the water is. --- One thought can lead to heaven or hell. I really felt it this time. --- Looks like my account name is quite fitting; I lost again.

154.6 billion USD was eaten up, how many people are still sleepwalking? --- That October wave was truly incredible, some accounts were wiped out directly. --- The dream of overnight wealth, in the end, turns into a night of overwhelming debt. --- Living long is the real winner; everything else is nonsense. --- Leverage, you know, once you start using it, you get hooked. --- Looking at the liquidation orders, I really don't know whether to laugh or cry. --- The phrase "profit and loss are equal" hits right in the heart, no doubt. --- An average of 400 to 500 million per day in reshuffling; this kind of trading, if your mental resilience isn't enough, you can't handle it. --- Heaven and hell are just a matter of one thought; isn't that terrifying? --- The market is never short of gamblers; what’s missing are those who can survive.

154.64 billion? That's outrageous. How many more people have lost everything? I watched the liquidation wave in October, and I'm still in debt now. Leverage is truly a thin line between heaven and hell. Living long is the real victory. Simple and straightforward, but heartbreaking. The dream of getting rich overnight has caused many to die. I've seen too many cases.

154.6 billion USD, how many people have gone bankrupt? It's crazy. That wave in October left me completely stunned; my social circle was full of margin calls. Playing with leverage is really a knife's edge, earning 5,000 but losing 50,000. Only those who survive in this market are the winners; short-term wealth is just an illusion. One moment heaven, the next hell—I'm truly afraid of this rollercoaster of emotions. Every day, the bulls and bears combined wash out 400 to 500 million; I wonder how normal people can survive. Honestly, it's just a game of probabilities; most people are likely to die young. I just want to earn steadily now, no longer chasing quick riches—it's exhausting.

154.6 billion USD... How many people have to lose everything over this number? --- On October 11, I watched my friend's account go from six figures to negative in front of my eyes. I still haven't recovered. --- The speed at which the dream of overnight wealth shatters is often the same as the speed of liquidation. --- So, living longer > earning quickly. That is the whole truth. --- Watching the liquidation feed run nonstop, it really looks like a casino's big screen. --- How many people think they are experts, only to be taught a harsh lesson by leverage in reverse? --- 154.6 billion... Looking at it from another angle, this is a pile of blood and tears lessons accumulated. --- Leverage, the joy of doubling returns, often doesn't last until the moment of liquidation. --- Heaven and hell are separated by just a liquidation price, really. --- Are there still people who think they can consistently make money from the market? Dream on. --- The most heartbreaking thing about this market is that earning quickly doesn't necessarily mean you'll live long. --- Liquidation accounts are lining up, with leverage worth several hundred million dollars being wiped out daily.
