James Wynn VS Liangxi, King of Contracts: 'East-West Showdown'
James Wynn: Hailing from a small town in the UK, coming from a poor family, he realized a 'ten-thousand-fold myth' by going long on PEPE, becoming a rising idol in the Western crypto community.
Liangxi: A young internet addiction enthusiast from a small town in Shandong, he rolled his capital from a thousand yuan to tens of millions of yuan during the '519 crash' in 2021, gaining headlines in the Chinese crypto circle as a short-selling demon.
2. Trading Strategies: Long and Short Beliefs and Leverage Philosophy
James Wynn
Going long (believing in a bull market) with high leverage
(DEX extreme leverage) publicly holding hundreds of millions of dollars
Long-term layout DEX (on-chain transparency, no risk of unplugging the network)
Liangxi
Going short (skilled at crisis sniping)
Hundred-fold leverage (CEX specialty)
Short-term high frequency, opening orders while 'going crazy' on CEX
(high liquidity, often being spiked back and forth)
The two represent two directions in the contract market.
Wynn's 'long belief' essentially bets on the long-term appreciation of crypto assets,
Liangxi's 'shorting art' relies on precise timing of market sentiment.
Profit Scale and Risk Limits: The Disparity between USD and RMB
James Wynn: Maximum profit of 40 million USD (approximately 280 million RMB), relying on DEX high leverage and Meme coin liquidity explosion.
Liangxi: Maximum profit of 40 million RMB (approximately 5.6 million USD), relying on CEX hundred-fold leverage and quick reactions in extreme market conditions.
Controversy:
If calculated with the same principal amount, Liangxi's return rate is more astonishing (from thousands to tens of millions),
but Wynn's absolute profit scale crushes it, reflecting the difference between Western capital scale advantages and Eastern retail leverage culture.
The Images of the Two: Rationality vs. Madness
James Wynn: Builds a transparent persona with 'public operations', and his fans call him 'the contract ascetic', attracting rational traders focused on strategy review.
Liangxi: A dramatic style of 'going crazy while opening orders', emotionally calling out during live streams, nicknamed 'Crypto Circle Madman', attracting thrill-seeking gambler-type users.
Essential Differences between the Two:
Wynn tries to package contracts as 'replicable technology', while Liangxi interprets it as 'a carnival of talent and luck' — both cater to the crypto market's belief in 'science' and 'mysticism'.
The two
One pursues a transparent DEX that is always long
One pursues a high liquidity CEX that likes to short
