Recently, the operations of a big player in the crypto world went viral—10x leverage fully invested in ZEC, with an average price of 439 dollars, and the position in ETH alone is worth over 16 million dollars. This kind of operation is indeed fierce, and many people are discussing whether they should follow suit.

But seeing such a "god-level move", I instead became calmer.

Top players can use high leverage, backed by a large capital pool, a complete risk control system, and timely market information. However, ordinary retail investors are different—their accounts cannot withstand several rounds of high-leverage operations. In a bull market, following the trend and adding leverage will ultimately lead to one of two outcomes: either being washed out or returning all the hard-earned profits.

I am increasingly aware of a problem: rather than tracking the next moves of the big shots, what ordinary people urgently need is a real "risk isolation system."

In simple terms, when you make a profit, you're afraid of a pullback, and when you incur a loss, you want to hold the position - your mindset is too easily influenced by the market. What do you need at this time? It's not a more aggressive leverage, but something that can provide a "safety net."

This is also why there will definitely be a stablecoin allocation in my portfolio. Specifically, I chose stablecoin products that are over-collateralized (over 130%) by mainstream assets such as BTC and TRX, and strictly pegged to 1 US dollar. The reserves of these products are fully transparent and traceable on-chain, with no credit black box, which gives me peace of mind.

The operating logic is very simple: when the market fluctuates sharply due to a major event, I convert part of the floating profits into stablecoins to directly lock in value. This not only helps me avoid anxiety from missing out but also keeps me away from the fear of being trapped. More importantly, this gives me a "safe base"—while aggressively exploring market opportunities, I always have a line of defense.

During a bull market, it's not the most important to see who charges harder, but rather who can hold steady. This kind of stable configuration provides a defensive strength of "seeing trust through stability."

We cannot see through the scripts of the big shots, but we must build our own asset defense line brick by brick. No matter how exciting the market trends of ZEC, BTC, and TRX are, there must be a reasonable risk management framework in place. Only then can we survive in the crypto world for the long term.
