Bitcoin Whale Wipes Out $100M in High-Stakes Gamble—Just Another Day in Crypto
Another ’sure thing’ bites the dust as a leveraged trader gets liquidated in spectacular fashion. Who needs Vegas when you’ve got BTC volatility?
When the market moves, it moves fast—especially for those playing with borrowed money. This time, the price swing left a nine-figure crater in someone’s portfolio. Cue the ’this is fine’ memes.
Funny how these ’contrarian bets’ always seem to go south at the worst possible moment. Maybe stick to index funds next time, champ.

Rather than issue a detailed response, Wynn posted a cryptic scene from The Matrix to X, showing NEO stopping bullets mid-air — perhaps a nod to surviving chaos, or hoping to. Despite the massive loss, he still holds an open long, currently running at a significant unrealized loss.
Wynn first rose to prominence with huge returns from early bets on tokens like Pepe (PEPE), riding the memecoin wave to multi-million dollar profits. But his own words had always foreshadowed a potential downfall. In a post just before the liquidation, he described himself as “an extreme degenerate,” admitting his trades were more gambling than strategy.
“I don’t follow risk management,” he wrote. “I could lose everything — and I advise others not to do what I do.”
