📘 “How I Turned $100 into $20,000 in 24 Hours — And Lost It All”

⸻

It all started 1 week ago.

I had $100 in my Binance futures account, feeling lucky and a little crazy.

I saw a new coin — $XYZ/USDT — launched with a huge community buzz. It was barely listed but was trending hard.

Without much thought, I opened a 50x leverage position.

Why not, right? I was feeling like this could be my big break.

Within hours, the price skyrocketed.

$100 turned into $1,000.

$1,000 turned into $5,000.

I was watching my profits grow in disbelief.

⸻

😱 Then, everything changed:

In the middle of the night, I woke up to $20,000 in my account. My heart raced. I was literally shaking.

But I was tired, overconfident, and impulsive.

I didn’t take profits — I was too greedy, thinking it would just keep going up.

⸻

💥 The crash came 30 minutes later.

The coin suddenly tanked. I saw my $20,000 vanish into thin air.

And then, the liquidation happened.

My $100 was gone.

⸻

🤯 How?

I didn’t set a stop-loss. I ignored the warning signs.

My greed and ego told me to wait for more.

The market has a way of humbling you when you forget the basics.

🔁 What I Learned:

✅ Greed will always cost you.

✅ Respect risk — leverage is dangerous if not used wisely.

✅ Stay disciplined, even when the rewards are tempting.

✅ Take profits when you can.

💡 The Conclusion:

I turned $100 into $20,000 — but lost it all in the blink of an eye.

It was a reminder: The market doesn’t care about your feelings or plans.

And now, I’m more cautious than ever, playing it smart.
