Machi Big Brother posted a selfie on X showing a DIY haircut and said the money he saved would be used to long ETH. He called it a “Cheatcode,” and the post quickly spread across crypto circles, drawing more than 179,000 views, 1,800 likes, and 477 comments.
The wording was simple: “Just saved money cutting my own hair. Going to long ETH with it. Cheatcode.” The reaction was not. Some users praised his refusal to back down, while others mocked the idea that a small haircut bill could matter after repeated liquidations. Brief post, big response.
More than 250 liquidations on Hyperliquid
The attention around the post comes from his trading record on Hyperliquid, a decentralized derivatives platform. According to the source material, since September 2025 he has been repeatedly longing ETH with 25x to 40x leverage, and has suffered over 250 liquidations for total losses of more than $27.6 million.
His pattern after liquidations has become part of the story. He has often reopened positions almost immediately, a style that community members have described as a “never surrender” approach. At one low point, his Hyperliquid account reportedly fell to just $8,500, making the haircut post land with even more irony.
ETH near $1,933 and his bullish stance still intact
At the time of publication, ETH was trading at about $1,933. The source says that is down nearly 59% from the $4,700 level seen in September last year. Machi Big Brother began building long exposure near those higher prices and has stayed with that view through the decline.
His latest post suggests that position has not changed. In crypto communities, he is now watched not only as a trader but also as a recurring meme figure whose public comments keep drawing attention after large losses. This time, the message was the same in smaller form: save a little, add to the ETH long.
