#数字资产市场动态 Monday Wisdom: The Self-Sabotaging Moves Newcomers Love in Crypto
Newcomers to the crypto space usually get stuck at the first hurdle—
It’s not about learning risk management, but being overwhelmed by a single thought:
"With my small starting capital, how can I turn things around without leverage?"
And then?
Going all-in with high leverage becomes the fastest way to pay tuition fees.
**Straightforward conclusion:**
All-in + high leverage is not just a "possibility of losing money" problem,
but an **inevitable loss**, sooner or later.
---
**Why?**
Many people think:
Leverage = amplifying potential gains
But in reality?
Leverage always magnifies **volatility**.
Look at the market—what’s the most common pattern?
It’s not one-way surges or crashes,
but oscillations—
Choppy markets + smart contracts sweep stop-loss orders back and forth.
And then, the most painful moment arrives:
✗ You’ve guessed the direction correctly
✗ You’ve also seen the trend right
✗ But you—won’t make it to the moment when the trend truly kicks in
Stop-loss gets triggered, forced liquidation happens,
Your account goes to zero.
It’s not poor technique,
It’s that from the moment you place the order, **the position structure was wrong**.
---
**What are the four types of clients that exchanges love most?**
1️⃣ Full-position traders
2️⃣ People playing with high multiples
3️⃣ Frequent traders
4️⃣ Those unwilling to cut losses
Why do they love these four?
Because on the exchange’s ledger:
• Your stop-loss = their liquidity
• Your margin call = their counterparty
• Your trading fees = their steady cash flow
You think you’re “betting for a turnaround,”
But in reality, you’re just feeding data and real money into this system.
---
**Who can really survive long-term in crypto?**
Usually, they have these traits:
📌 Trading with small positions—one mistake isn’t deadly
📌 Low leverage or even naked shorts—able to withstand big pullbacks
📌 Prioritizing “staying alive”—not aiming for a one-hit kill
📌 Valuing certainty—not just the odds ratio
They also want to make big money,
But they’ve understood a fundamental truth:
**Opportunities are always there; your capital is just one piece.**
If you’re still doing these:
• Fantasizing about turning things around with one or two big positions
• Relying on 20x, 50x leverage to solve life’s problems
Then you’re not trading,
You’re speeding up your exit.
No one sells courses, no one talks about mysticism,
It’s just the market laws—
That you’ll have to pay tuition to fully understand someday.
