【Blockchain Rhythm】A veteran trader with a deep background in the industry has recently been in a difficult situation. This seasoned player holds nearly $700 million in long positions that have suffered heavy losses during a continuous downtrend. Over the past two days, they have neither added to their positions nor cut losses, simply holding on stubbornly.

Specifically, the depth of their predicament is as follows:

In ETH, a long position of 191,000 coins is valued at $540 million. The position was originally opened at $3,167. Now, the unrealized loss has reached $64.28 million, with a liquidation price set at $2,083. This risk exposure is indeed quite significant.

The situation with BTC is somewhat better. A long position of 1,000 coins is worth $86.15 million, with an average opening price of $91,506. The current unrealized loss is only $5.35 million, making the pressure less severe.

The 250,000 SOL long position is also struggling. With a position value of $30.83 million and an opening price of $137.5, it has already lost $3.55 million.

The total unrealized loss across these three major cryptocurrencies is $73.18 million. In this situation, the big question is whether to continue holding and wait for a rebound or to adjust positions at an opportune moment.

BTC1,88%

ETH1,3%

SOL2,13%

Wow, this guy is really throwing a tantrum. Holding on tightly despite a floating loss of over 70 million?

Holding onto 700 million... How big must this guy's heart be? I can't stand this kind of torment. --- Over 60 million in floating loss and still not acting in two days? Either have unwavering faith or have already become numb. --- Liquidation price at 2083... Just thinking about this risk makes my scalp tingle. It's really all-in style. --- BTC only lost 5.35 million, yet it seems the most stable. This contrast is a bit ironic haha. --- This guy isn't trading; he's gambling his life... Over 170,000 ETH, what a concept. --- Seeing this floating loss number makes me think of those liquidation stories. Hope he can hold on. --- Not adding funds or cutting losses, just lying flat like this? I need to learn this kind of resolve. --- A $700 million long position being trapped, now that's a real test of mental resilience. --- SOL is still in trouble, man. This is full pressure on all fronts.

Holding firm without moving? This guy is really ruthless, waiting for a rebound or just throwing a tantrum. --- Over 700 million in holdings? My goodness, how much mental strength does that take to withstand... If I lost that much, I’d have blown up already. --- Liquidation price at 2083... feels a bit risky, is this a bet on a rebound or is it really stuck? --- Damn, 19,100 ETH, that must have been an early entry... now trapped like this... feels a bit uncomfortable. --- Not adding to positions or cutting losses? I’ve seen this move before, usually the next scene is a margin call joke. --- Only losing 5 million on BTC, that’s considered good? This logic really has me dizzy, haha. --- Players at this level holding firm for two days are just like us gamblers... shows the bottom isn’t that close.

This guy must have a big heart. Holding onto seven hundred million dollars like this, I need to learn from this kind of resolve.

Hardcore? This guy is really fierce, just a bit over the top... If this wave rebounds, he'll truly be a legend, but the question is... do you dare to bet? Looking at this liquidation price, it feels like playing with fire. People are numb, no action in two days, their mental resilience is incredible. Throwing 700 million just to wait? This move is so intense.

Holding out for two days without action, is this betting on a rebound or truly out of options? That ETH liquidation price at 2083 is a bit risky; hope it doesn't drop to that level. This guy is really wealthy, can resist a decline for so long. 700 million, I could never earn that much floating loss in my lifetime. If he doesn't add more or cut losses, he's really just waiting to be doomed.

Hardly taking a loss for two days? Bro, that's gambler's mentality, waiting to be liquidated --- $700 million position just lying flat? I don't have that courage --- ETH this wave lost big, 64.28 million just gone, liquidation price so close... aren't you afraid? --- Experienced trader? Looks just so-so, still couldn't escape the curse of decline --- If this guy didn't have a strong background, he'd have been liquidated hundreds of times already --- Two days without moving? Waiting for a rebound or waiting for bankruptcy? --- That 1,000 BTC can still hold, but ETH and SOL are a bit shaky... this setup really can't hold up --- Adding more to stop loss and not moving, just holding firm? This trading mentality is really strong --- Losing nearly 700 million, halving it isn't bad, judging by this trend, it still needs to fall... --- Why not get liquidated? Is that the difference?

Holding firm without taking action—what strong mental resilience that requires. I can't do it.
