According to observations, a large holder recently exchanged BTC for USD1 stablecoin to participate in a 20% annualized financial product. Unexpectedly, the USD1 liquidity pool was severely insufficient, causing intense fluctuations during the exchange—BTC prices once surged to $24,000, far exceeding normal levels. This extreme slippage means that even based on the most optimistic return calculations, it would take years to recover the losses from this transaction. This case once again reminds market participants: the liquidity trap of small-cap stablecoins should not be underestimated, as high returns often conceal high risks.

Buy BTC with $24,000? How badly did this guy lose... Really, seeing this kind of slippage makes me want to laugh and cry.

24,000 selling BTC to chase 20% profit, a typical greed-driven kill move.

Annualized 20%? Wake up, buddy, there's no free lunch in this world. --- That's why I never touch small-cap stablecoins; once liquidity is spread out, it's doomed. --- Selling BTC at 24,000? Haha, that's hilarious. Break even in a few years? This deal is perfect. --- A typical high-yield trap. Next time you see such APY, just walk away. --- USD1 liquidity is just too crazy. What was the project team thinking back then? --- People keep falling into traps, which is honestly a bit exhausting. --- So it's better to just hold coins honestly. All these tricks are just pitfalls. --- $24,000 per lot. This slippage could bankrupt you.

Typical greed kills people. Burning your brain with just 20% annualized return? --- USD1 liquidity is so poor, yet still dare to go all in. Truly asking for death. --- I just want to know how this guy is doing now, how long it will take to recover from depression. --- Stablecoins of small tokens are just a trap. Making money fast means losing even faster. Ancient saying. --- Selling BTC at 24,000 haha, this slippage is enough for him to regret for a lifetime. --- Another one brainwashed by high returns, poor guy. --- Liquidity traps are nothing new, but do you really need to try it yourself to be satisfied? --- Starting to YOLO at 20% annualized return. Can I do some quick calculations for you... --- That's why I only stick to mainstream coins. Others are all traps. --- This guy could have steadily made profits, but he had to play with fire. Too inexperienced.
