đ°ăFrom $3M to $100M... to ZERO â James Wynnâs tale of liquidation & addictionă
Crypto whale James Wynn opens up:
đŹ âStarted trading perps this March. Never really traded before. Turned $3M into $100M in a month... then lost it all on Hyperliquid in a week.â
What happened?
Was just âmessing aroundâ but got tens of thousands watching his trades
Couldn't stop â afraid of being mocked for losing it all
âNumbers became a game. Greed took over.â
đTakeaway:
On-chain visibility = social pressure. Gains feel like glory, losses feel like shame. Greed + validation-seeking = perfect storm. Even whales are human.
