Bitcoin Trading Genius — Liang Xi

Liang Xi (Geng Zhiyu), a legendary figure in the cryptocurrency world, was born in 2002 in Jinan, Shandong. He is known for high-leverage contract trading.

From 2019 to 2020, at the age of 17, he entered the market using his father's identity, rapidly gaining prominence with an initial capital of 1,000 yuan and leverage of 60-100 times through high-frequency trading. During the major drop on '519' in 2021, he earned 40 million in a month, and his assets once exceeded 100 million.

However, in 2022, he took a sharp downturn, accumulating debts of up to 200 million due to high-leverage losses and family disputes. He was accused of not repaying debts, defrauding funds, and even rumors circulated about him becoming mentally unstable and requiring hospitalization. His Weibo and Twitter accounts were restricted, and his reputation collapsed.

In early 2025, it was rumored on platform X that he 'earned nearly 100 million in one night of contracts', clearing some debts, suggesting a potential comeback, although the claim has not been verified and remains controversial. Supporters praise his resilience, while critics label him a gambler.

He went from being rich with thousands to having billions, and then to being heavily in debt — his life is like a roller coaster, reflecting the speculative nature of the cryptocurrency world. His obsessive personality stems from a troubled childhood; he entered the industry at 17, gained fame at 22, and now his future remains uncertain, embodying both legend and cautionary tale.
