Since entering February, Bitcoin's price has continuously plummeted.
Just as everyone was crying and cursing Bitcoin as a scam,
one young man made over a million dollars in just a few days. In addition to proudly posting real-time trading proofs on Twitter, he even held a flashy money-spraying red envelope event to reward his fans.
This young man is Liangxi, hailed as a crypto-genius trader.
Readers less familiar with the crypto world might wonder—Who is Liangxi?
In fact, this isn’t the first time Liangxi has drawn public attention. His rise to fame actually began four years ago.
May 19, 2021, was a brutal day for the crypto community. On that day, Bitcoin recorded a single-day drop of 33%, while many established cryptocurrencies were cut in half within hours—an event now known as the "519 crash." But Liangxi went against the tide, shorting heavily with leveraged positions. Starting with just 1,000 yuan (~$140), he turned it into tens of millions. From then on, the title of “genius trader” followed Liangxi across the internet, making him one of the most talked-about figures in the crypto space.
Yet in the following months, during Bitcoin’s sustained rally, he suffered consecutive margin calls. According to Liangxi’s own social media profile, by early 2025, he had accumulated 200 million yuan (~$28 million) in debt, been cheated on, abandoned by friends and family, living in isolation, teetering on the edge of collapse.
After four years of silence, Liangxi has returned—sounding more like a plot twist from a fantasy novel, yet undeniably true to his life story.
We can't help but wonder: Is Liangxi truly gifted, or has he just been incredibly lucky? Can this comeback finally reverse his fate of losing more than he wins?
The narrative grows increasingly surreal, yet so real we cannot ignore it.
Youth and Personality Formation
To understand Liangxi, we must first examine his upbringing.
Liangxi was born in 2002 in Jinan, Shandong Province. Yes, you read that right—he was only 19 when he first struck gold.
Through social media, we learn that Liangxi had deep conflicts with his family. His rebellious nature meant much of his childhood and adolescence unfolded amid constant arguments with his father.
Yet from an early age, he showed exceptional talent across multiple domains. He learned swimming at a young age and excelled, but faced bullying from teammates, leading to depression in elementary school.
He later shifted focus to computer games. By sixth grade, he reached the Challenger rank in League of Legends. After dropping out of middle school, he streamed王者荣耀 (Honor of Kings) on Chushou, achieving top-three rankings and becoming No.1刘备 (Liu Bei) player. Success in everything he tried suggests extraordinary talent—but conflict wherever he went hints at a life destined for dramatic highs and lows.
His obsession with online gaming eventually led his father to send him to a specialized internet addiction rehabilitation school. Liangxi claims the experience triggered schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder, laying the foundation for his later erratic trading behavior and flamboyant, chaotic online persona.

Entering Crypto: From 1,000 Yuan to Millions—and Back to Zero
Liangxi began trading in 2020, before turning 18, using his father’s ID and bank card to open his first account.
On May 19, 2021, Bitcoin prices plunged. Using high-leverage short-selling strategies, Liangxi turned 1,000 yuan into nearly 40 million RMB (~$5.6 million), instantly becoming famous in the crypto world.
You might be wondering—what kind of strategy could yield such insane returns?
If I had to summarize it, I’d call it the “shoot-blindly method”:
It has nothing to do with technical skill. It simply means opening long or short positions aggressively and constantly during volatile periods. As long as you don’t fear losses, go all-in with maximum leverage, fire randomly into the forest—whether you hit a rabbit or a tiger, you’ll know once you pull the trigger. If you happen to guess the direction right, compounding your position can generate astronomical profits.
That’s exactly what Liangxi did on 519—persistently shorting Bitcoin during its historic plunge, catapulting himself to fame.
As the saying goes: People can’t hold onto money beyond their understanding.
Unsurprisingly, Liangxi’s peak didn’t last long. The dark side of high-leverage trading quickly emerged.
In the second half of 2021, Bitcoin rebounded sharply from its lows. Still stuck in bearish habits, Liangxi lost his market sensitivity, suffering repeated blowups until he wiped out all his gains—and ended up with massive debts.
In just four years, Liangxi transformed from a celebrated “genius trader” into a debt-ridden, legally pursued “judgment defaulter.”
If the story ended here, it would merely be another reckless youth’s tale of sudden wealth followed by total ruin. But remember, this is the crypto world—the place least lacking gamblers. Every year, countless Liangxi-like stories unfold here.
So the Liangxi I want to talk about is not just another lucky gambler. What makes him truly unique is his unparalleled ability to generate traffic. He is, above all, the ultimate content engine in this game. Through cycles of getting rich, blowing up, borrowing, and repaying, he never disappeared—instead, each time amplifying controversy, ensuring everyone remains glued to his every move.
Social Media's "Madman Persona": How Liangxi Manipulates Attention via Drama and Personal Exposure?
Liangxi’s social media presence can be summed up in two words: theatrical and absurd. His posts swing between extreme melancholy and cold sarcasm, like self-scripting an internet drama, determined to keep himself at the center of public discourse.
He often completes a full “from broke to rich” storyline within a single day:
Morning tweet: “Blew up again, can’t live anymore.”
Afternoon post: “Brothers, I’m back—come grab red envelopes!”
Such extreme contrasts leave people questioning whether he’s genuinely emotionally volatile or treating social media as a lab experiment, using wild swings to maintain attention.
In the crypto world, Liangxi’s “combat power” isn’t limited to trading—he’s also exceptionally skilled at trash-talking. And he never picks random fights. From early Weibo battles with trader Xiao Xia, to Twitter feuds with crypto influencer Fu Lu Shou, to recent targeted attacks on popular blogger Hongkong Doll, his verbal aggression rivals the fiercest netizens of Sun Forum.

Beyond trading and online drama, Liangxi’s love life is always a source of controversy.
After being scammed out of a large sum by a girlfriend, he once lost control during a livestream, announcing he would “drink pesticide to commit suicide”—though he ultimately didn’t follow through.
Liangxi also openly discusses his desires on social media.
He once wrote on Weibo about his “stress-relief methods,” candidly stating he “does it at least twice daily,” using “physiological regulation” to release the extreme emotions caused by high-frequency trading.
By early 2025, Liangxi once again thrust his romantic life into the spotlight.
He accused his current girlfriend of emotional abuse, domestic violence, and even “cheating and giving me a green hat,” claiming these events “plunged me into complete depression.” This accusation lasted only a few weeks before he posted something even more extreme on Twitter: saying he had “taken transgender medication for two days,” suppressing his libido, and declaring he now feels “disgust whenever seeing heterosexual scenes”—all to “focus solely on trading.”
For the latest version of Liangxi, romance is no longer a basic human need—it’s an “external interference factor” that severely disrupts trading performance. Only through artificial suppression can he master the ultimate trading manual—the葵花宝典 (Kuihua Baodian).
Comeback
Now in 2025, BTC began a steady decline in late February.
A few days later, Liangxi revealed his live trading results: leveraging his signature high-frequency strategy, going long and short simultaneously, he accumulated over a million dollars in profit. News of Liangxi’s resurgence spread rapidly across the web.
Alongside his trading success came renewed popularity.
He began flooding social media celebrating his “comeback,” posting real-time profit screenshots and distributing 10,000-yuan Alipay red envelopes daily on Twitter for five consecutive days under the slogan “targeted poverty alleviation.” He launched a “debt repayment plan,” vowing to settle all debts incurred since 2021.
But skepticism never ceased. Some claim he simply “guessed the trend right,” while others mock: “Liangxi isn’t a trader anymore—he’s the leading marketing star of crypto-themed roleplay dramas.”
Liangxi doesn’t shy away from criticism. On Twitter, he repeatedly insists he no longer trades for profit—but for “redemption,” for “saving the world.”
He declared: “Others become influencers to make money and exploit you. I make money to become an influencer—to save you. The Liang family has been silent for four years. This cycle is our moment to break free. Let’s unite and fight against the evil exchanges! I’ll use futures contracts to bankrupt exchange bosses, force them to beg me not to take their money!”
No one knows whether Liangxi will once again prove “luck trumps skill,” or if he’ll someday vanish into oblivion forever. His journey seems bizarre, yet fits perfectly within the hyper-volatile casino that is the crypto world—so much so that when news of his comeback surfaced, it felt almost inevitable.
Reflection and Conclusion
Liangxi’s story is less a biography of a trader and more a long-running internet experiment. He generates headlines through relentless controversy—each comeback resembling a live-streamed script, each downfall planting seeds for the next act.
Is Liangxi a genius trader, a master manipulator of attention, or an authentic internet “patient”?
In his story, gambler-style high-leverage, high-frequency trading walks hand-in-hand with an extreme personality.
His contradictions may stem from childhood trauma and prolonged mental stress—fully reflected in his trading style. High-reward strategies inevitably carry high risk, resulting in crippling debt.
As for whether “Liangxi is truly a genius,” perhaps the question never needed an answer. He may not be the best trader—but he’s undoubtedly a brilliant “actor” who excels at manipulating traffic. Whether posting profit proofs, exposing family drama, or engaging in public feuds, he consistently draws massive attention, placing himself at the epicenter of discourse.
Is he a true winner—or fated to become a sacrificial offering to the altar of virality?
Only time will tell.
