A whale that held 4 years of ETH has finally given up.
Four years ago, he heavily bought 9,389 ETH near $4311, with a total cost of up to $40.47 million. Yesterday, these ETH were transferred to Coinbase Prime all at once, while the price of ETH had already dropped to around $1777.
With just one transfer, it means he ultimately lost $23.8 million, with a capital drawdown of about 59%.
Many people always think that whales have large funds, low costs, and quick information, so they must make a profit.
But the reality is exactly the opposite.
The market will never show mercy just because your position is large.
After reading this news, I suddenly thought of a saying:
Many people did not lose to the market, but rather lost because their funds had only one choice.
Either they hold on with a full position, or they sit idle with no position.
In fact, both states incur costs.
I later developed a habit
I used to be like that too.
When the market was bad, after selling coins, I would just leave USDT in my account for months.
Later I realized, this is also an opportunity cost.
Before the market came, the funds were just "sleeping".
Now my method is very simple:
When preparing for a trade, I will use the funds for trading; when there is temporarily no opportunity, I will put it into Binance Earn (Simple Earn) for flexible savings.
I can't say it makes big money.
But at least it won't let idle funds just lie there.
When a real buying opportunity arises, I can redeem anytime without affecting operations.
This rhythm aligns better with my current trading habits.
Why do I keep using Binance Earn?
The reason is actually very simple, not some profound investment logic.
It's because it meets three things that I value the most:
✅ Flexible funds
Can be redeemed anytime when needed for trading, without worrying about missing the market.
✅ Simple operation
Just need to subscribe once, and daily earnings are calculated automatically, no need to constantly monitor the market.
✅ Idle funds are not wasted
Compared to leaving it in the spot account, allowing funds to earn some returns while waiting for opportunities, I prefer the latter.
Taking USDT flexible as an example, the current reference annual yield is approximately 4.45% (specific figures based on real-time display in the Binance App).
Although the earnings won’t make one rich, in the long run, at least it can keep the funds in a "working state".
This time, I have also secured two benefits for everyone

Finally, I want to say
In the cryptocurrency world, there are no guaranteed profits.
I share on earning coins, not because it has the highest yields.
But after experiencing several bull and bear markets, I increasingly feel:
Those who can truly ride through cycles are not necessarily the fastest earners, but those who understand how to protect their capital the best.
When trading, trade seriously.
When there are no opportunities, let the funds continue to work.
Many times, what seems insignificant can turn into a part of compound interest over time.
