The major earthquake in the crypto market in November 2022 caused many people to suffer losses. My lesson was particularly profound—I had a sum of funds earning interest on a major exchange at the time, and I didn't expect the crash to come so quickly. Fortunately, I reacted promptly and transferred most of my funds to another exchange to safeguard them. However, I still couldn't withdraw 5000U in time.



Seeing the withdrawal channels close, I felt a bit panicked. I heard there might be rescue plans, so I decided to take a gamble—during the sharp dip in the coin price, I used 5000U to exchange for TRX at nearly 10 times the price difference. I initially thought I could recover something from this turmoil, but in the end, I still couldn't withdraw the coins. Honestly, this move was quite a heavy loss.

This experience made me deeply realize that even the largest exchanges carry risks. Concentrating holdings on a single platform can lead to disaster when a black swan event occurs. Looking back now, the risky coin exchange operation at that time was quite helpless—facing both withdrawal difficulties and a plummeting price, every step was a gamble.

Oh no, this is the gambler's mentality. When the price drops, instead of panicking, they want to go all in. I've seen too many stories like this. Going all-in on TRX in one shot... brother, your move is really a bit crazy, but I understand the desperation behind it. 5000U just disappeared like that, does it hurt? I've been through something similar before. Now I only keep a small amount on the exchange. No platform is completely reliable. The lesson this time was harsh. Remember to diversify in the future. Actually, losing when I switched to TRX back then was already a sign. Chasing high and losing money, the hardest part is admitting defeat.

Really, that move left me speechless. Betting on a 10x price difference is just outrageous.

Betting on 10x price difference? This guy really had no other choice at the time. If it were me, I would have to take a gamble too. But to be fair, this is the fate of centralized systems.
