Who says the crypto world doesn't "sacrifice" people? Just look at the FLOW case to understand.

This project dropped from a historical high of $35.6 all the way down to $0.1. The data comparison is heartbreaking—those investors who bought in at the high point can't even break even after a 100x rebound in price, still losing over 70%.

The issues reflected behind such a decline are worth pondering: the initial high enthusiasm attracted retail investors, leading to inflated prices and a large amount of unrealized losses. Once the enthusiasm fades and market liquidity dries up, it turns into a one-way downward trend. The top buyers pay the heaviest price—not only losing their principal, but needing a 100x increase to break even, which is almost an impossible task.

This is also why risk management is so crucial in the crypto space. Blindly chasing highs and ignoring project fundamentals often result in painful lessons.

FLOW this thing is really amazing, from 35 dollars to 0.1 dollars... I told you, the group that chased the high are just sacrifices in the crypto world. Invest only when you're confident in the project's fundamentals, otherwise even a 100x increase won't save you. It should have been clear early on, hype is a signal for harvesting the leeks.

Chasing highs is a surefire way to get killed; FLOW is a living example. --- Even 100x leverage can't save you; it's better to admit defeat and cut losses. --- Another project driven by hype; retail investors are always the last to take the fall. --- From 35 yuan to 0.1? This is the crypto world—sounds of dreams shattering. --- Focusing on fundamentals rather than emotions is the only way to survive and leave the crypto space. --- What happened to the people at the top now? Unthinkable, isn't it? --- FLOW's story is a textbook example of how to cut leeks. --- Once liquidity dries up, there's no chance to get off the train. --- Good market manipulation is the real key to making money, not betting on price increases. --- Everyone says to cut losses, but when it comes down to it, aren't you still holding on?

FLOW this thing is truly a living textbook, the ultimate version of cutting leeks. --- 100x to break even? Dream on, that’s a synonym for permanent loss. --- That’s why I never chase highs, I just laugh when others go all-in. --- The project team already ran away long ago, retail investors are still waiting for a rebound here, hilarious. --- What sounds good as "risk management" is actually just don’t get caught up, everyone. --- FLOW’s story is well written, but there are many such "textbooks" in the crypto world. --- I can imagine the despair of the top buyers, but then again, they deserve it. --- Cut from 35 to 0.1, such a drop would wake anyone up.

Looking at the FLOW case, it's quite representative. A 100x increase is needed to break even, which essentially is the gambler's despair.

35.6 drops to 0.1, this is the crypto world. A 100x rebound can't save it. The FLOW case serves as a warning; catching the top is indeed hellish difficulty. Another wave of being cut, who can be blamed? Once the hype fades, the true nature is revealed. Where are the so-called fundamentals? Now I understand what "once you enter the crypto world, it's as deep as the sea" means.

Falling from 35 times to 0.1 times, this is the result of chasing highs. The supply line is cut off, and retail investors are just cannon fodder.

FLOW this thing... I've already said it, chasing highs is like jumping into a fire pit. Basically, it's being cut off, and you can't even recover 100 times the loss—that's how desperate it is.
