The whale’s gambling spree ended with a $70 million loss. It might have been a marketing move by Hyperliquid itself. Maybe he just wanted to get famous — a minute of glory that cost tens of millions. Maybe he actually wanted to lose. As strange as it sounds, sometimes we go looking for bullets with our forehead, building up drama just to have someone to blame for why our life turned out the way it did. And in reality, this isn’t gambling — it’s drama addiction.
For me, the takeaway is simple: the size of the deposit doesn’t matter. What matters is the reason why I come to the exchange. Am I trying to prove the exchange wrong? Prove myself right? Trying to prove something at all?
Losses should be accepted calmly — they’re part of trading, part of life.
You are not your trade.
