If you don't know what contract trading is, please read this article first: Is cryptocurrency's 'contract trading' an opportunity or a pitfall?
With @AguilaTrades' last $30,000 being liquidated at 2 AM the day before yesterday, the three most talked-about A9 warriors in the cryptocurrency circle this year have all fallen (in the cryptocurrency world, it is usually considered impolite to directly ask someone how much money they have; instead, you ask what level of funds they have, usually indicated by A-numbers. For example, if you have $100,000, you are A6, and so on. Did you learn something?), now it seems they have all lost everything. Let's briefly review what the three of them did:
Warrior one: @qwatio, known in the industry as 'insider brother', in late February 2025, he used 50x leverage to go long on ETH and BTC on the Hyperliquid platform, opening a long position worth over $200 million with an initial capital of 3 million USDC. This operation coincided with Trump announcing an executive order to 'include Bitcoin in the national strategic reserve', making the timing extremely precise, achieving an astonishing profit of about $6.83 million within 24 hours. Thus, he was dubbed 'insider brother', and continued to leverage high contracts and high positions, rapidly rolling his floating profit to over $26 million, only to lose everything in the Bitcoin short battle at the end of May.
Warrior two: @JamesWynnReal, this is my favorite brother. In mid-March, he rolled long positions on Bitcoin (40 contracts) and PEPE (20 contracts) on Hyperliquid, reaching a floating profit of $87 million; he closed his position and posted a message on X saying he was preparing for a vacation. Just as the audience was enviously watching, he stated his famous saying: 'One hundred million dollars can't even buy a luxury yacht.' Perhaps it was because the vacation didn’t include a luxury yacht, he then opened a long BTC position worth $1.23 billion with 40x contracts, which led to his Waterloo. News about Trump's tariffs on the EU and the intensifying 'Israel-Palestine conflict' increased market volatility, causing Bitcoin's price to drop from his opening price of $108,916 to below $100,000. He not only gave back all his profits but also lost $21.77 million in principal and thus fell. However, I still love what he wrote on X at that time: 'You need to know when to hold on, when to let go, when to leave, and when to run; at the poker table, never count your money.' It's simply divine!
Defeating three: AguilaTrades, I don't know how he has so much money (online rumors say he started with a $300,000 contract), but I know how he lost it all:
Why are James Wynn, the insider brother, and AguilaTrades so obsessed with high contracts and high positions, constantly rolling their positions? Below, let me show you the results of this new warrior, which might help you understand: since April, he has rolled $125,000 into a long position on ETH, which has now turned into $25 million...
In April, he used two addresses to withdraw $125,000 USDC from ChangeNOW and Kucoin and transferred it to Hyperliquid to start going long on ETH. The first long ETH position was at a price of $1,490, at the year's lowest point.
Rolling profits and pushing the snowball, since he started going long on ETH, ETH has been rising all the way. Through continuous floating profits, he has rolled his position from a few hundred ETH at the beginning to now 66,000 ETH, with a position value of $300 million. The last increase in position was yesterday at 9 AM.
(His position one)
(His position two)
Starting from $125,000 and now up $24.78 million. The floating profit even reached $43 million when ETH peaked at $4,788 the day before yesterday. Currently, he has no intention of taking profits. What do you think? Doesn't human greed show itself vividly? Don't think you are an exception!
Lastly, let me say, new myths are created in the cryptocurrency circle every day, and old myths also get shattered. Still, the same saying applies: whether investing or trading, it is all a practice. What you think is the opponent is actually always yourself!
