Machibig loses $2M in 80 min, holds 888.88 BTC and 19.1K ETH longs
The episode is a reminder that headline position sizes in BTC and ETH can mask how quickly leverage turns against a holder during a sharp move. What stands out is the speed of the drawdown rather than its absolute size, which speaks to the fragility of crowded long positioning when liquidity thins. Whether such large, publicly visible longs get reduced or defended is the open question, since that behavior can shape short-term sentiment around ETH and BTC.
