Recently, the market activity of LIT has been quite interesting. It is understood that two internal project insiders once poured in $5 million to try to corner traders with short positions, planning a clever counter liquidation. But what happened? Things didn't go as they envisioned—the final outcome was only about $400,000 in actual liquidation volume.



This case actually illustrates a lot. No matter how much capital is injected, it doesn't necessarily shift the market landscape as desired. The real determining factors are the project's fundamental support and the counterparty's risk management level. In other words, market power is not solely determined by the size of funds; the confrontation between participants often reveals the gap between plans and reality.

Such failed liquidations are quite common in the crypto market, and each time it feels like a lesson—market participants' surface intentions and actual execution capabilities are often two different things. For traders, this is why risk awareness and position management must be closely monitored.

$5M to liquidate $400k? lmao, that's what happens when insiders think deep pockets beat smart risk management. market doesn't care about your war chest, only your correlation matrix does.

5 million投入只换40 million的清算,这就是 the sound of dreams shattering in the crypto world Another illusion of "I can win if I have money" has been shattered, really Who cares about the market, everyone is equal in front of the fundamentals This move really pulled, it seems that insiders are not as clever as they think Forget it, it's better to focus on trading steadily than anything else

5 million spent only to get 400,000 liquidation, how much gas fee could that buy haha --- Honestly, that's how the crypto world is. Having more money doesn't necessarily mean it's easier; it also depends on whether your opponent has brains. --- Another textbook-level "I thought" vs "actually" moment, hilarious --- That's why I never go all-in on an idea; risk management really saves lives. --- I've seen too many stories of liquidation failures; every time, it's the funder's underestimation of the market's cunning. --- Fundamentals are the hard truth. If you can't burn money to create something, throwing more won't help. --- The risk management level of the counterparty is truly an invisible boss; many people get caught out here. --- So where did that 5 million go? That's what I care about. --- Another case of "plans can't keep up with changes," that's just how the crypto world is. --- Position management > capital scale. When will this principle be widely recognized?

Spending 5 million to only get 400,000 in liquidation—this move is really disappointing. The market isn't that easy to fool.

5 million dollars down the drain, this move is brilliant, it shows that no matter how much money you have, you can't beat the market

5 million invested only results in a liquidation of 400,000, this operation is a bit outrageous, even insiders are not some gods. Retail investors are buying the dip even more aggressively, but end up getting trapped the same way.
