BTC has dropped again, and retail investors can't sit still. Look over there, a paper unrealized loss of just 200 bucks already has people shouting to the heavens, with a flood of pleas for help in the group chat. But what are the big players actually doing?
There is a whale with hundreds of billions, holding $800 million in ETH, BTC, and SOL long positions. At the craziest moment, the paper loss directly hit $70 million. What was the reaction? None. Still holding. Enduring it until now, they actually made an additional $10 million profit.
This is outrageous. A $70 million unrealized loss—try it yourself? You’d probably run away long ago, leaving nothing behind.
You’re eager to cut losses, but they’re adding to their positions. You panic at a decline, but they’re looking at a five-year outlook. The most ironic part? When big funds are holding on tightly, it often indicates that the real crazy market hasn’t even started yet. When the giants are desperately holding onto their orders, it shows how heavy their bets are.
So the problem isn’t the market, it’s your mindset. Getting out at the most critical moment means you not only miss the gains but also have to watch others ride the wave. Some things are just like that—those who make money are never the fastest to react, but the ones who can hold on until the end.

Losing 70 million in unrealized losses without a fuss, while my 200 yuan loss makes me start questioning life—why is the gap so huge?
Honestly, mindset is really a form of cultivation. You truly can't learn how big players operate.
When big funds add positions, retail investors are busy cutting losses. Who can escape this cycle?
Forget it, I'll just watch the excitement. Anyway, there's nothing left to cut in this broken account.
I really admire those who can withstand seven-figure unrealized losses without blinking—how do they develop such mental resilience?

70 million unrealized loss still holding on, this mental resilience is truly incredible... I, as a retail investor, lose a few thousand yuan and spend half a day hesitating, while those with losses in the tens of millions remain unfazed and continue to add positions. This gap is not about money, but about mindset.

Able to withstand a floating loss of 70 million, my 200 yuan drop is really nothing haha
The difference between retail investors and whales is right here—one can't sleep over K-line charts, and the other sleeps soundly
I'm increasingly convinced of this now; the moments when you truly make big money often happen when you most want to run
Mentality is easy to talk about but very hard to do; next time I encounter a dip, I think I still need to remind myself
Just hold on, don't mess around, and wait five years to see the choices made today

Losing 70 million in unrealized losses and still able to sleep peacefully, this mindset is truly amazing... Even a 200 yuan loss makes me feel distressed for a long time.
