James Wynn confessed on social media that he started perpetual contract trading in March this year without prior serious experience, initially just playing with MEME coins. Within one month, he leveraged $3 million to $1 billion but lost it all within a week on HyperLiquid. His trading was public on-chain, attracting tens of thousands of viewers as his account value soared and then crashed. He admitted that the situation spiraled out of control, realizing it was essentially gambling. He struggled between wanting to recover his losses and fearing ridicule for losing the $1 billion, which led him to take greater risks. The fluctuating numbers became a virtual game dominated by greed.
