Don't remind me again today

#数字货币市场回升 has seen too many people take a fall in the crypto market, but contracts hurt the most.



A guy initially out of pure curiosity put in fifteen hundred to test the waters. As a result, in just two days, his account balance jumped to forty thousand—during those 48 hours, he seemed like a different person, walking with his head held high, chatting with everyone about "trend analysis" and "technical breakthroughs," as if he could make himself a legend.

So what next? Going all in with heavy positions, refusing to set stop losses, stubbornly enduring the reverse fluctuations. Forty thousand quickly evaporates into a few hundred bucks. Shouldn't a normal person wake up by now? No. Instead, he becomes even more crazy: watching the market while eating hot pot, staring at the market before going to bed, and even checking the K-line while on the toilet. He verbally curses "trading contracts is foolish," but the moment the market slightly moves, he is always the first to jump in.

Why can't I quit? Because this thing is just too damn fast.

With dozens of times leverage at play, if you get the direction right, the funds will take off directly, and the speed is comparable to a cheat device. In the traditional stock market, a daily limit-up is only 10%, while here you can complete a whole day's market in just ten minutes. Once you have tasted the experience of going from one thousand five to forty thousand in a few minutes, a seed will be planted in your mind—"I can do it, I can try again, and even more fiercely this time."

But the harshest thing about the crypto market is that when you think "just a little bit more," you've actually already been kicked out.

This is the magic of contracts - it's not that you can't quit, it's that you don't want to quit at all. It's not greed that's at play, but the illusion brought by the rapid, immense profits and the thrill of adrenaline surging, it's just too damn addictive. Like a dream, so splendid it's unreal.

It's just that no one reminds you: the sweeter the dream, the worse the losses in your account when you wake up.

It's too real, turning 1.5k into 40k in those days felt like being on drugs, couldn't stop at all. Lost everything yet still staring at the market, I can only say the crypto world is the strongest casino. My fren is the same, insisting that he has seen through the market, but now he can't even afford hot pot. Contracts are poison, once you've tasted them, there's no turning back, that's the scariest part.

Uh... I'm too familiar with this story, I have friends like that around me. --- Going from 1.5k to 40k really can get carried away, I believe it. But the worst part isn't losing money, it's knowing that trading contracts is just gambling and still can't stop. --- Can't quit? Forget it, it's just that I don't want to quit. What can compare to that thrill? --- So the most toxic part of contracts isn't the leverage, it's that illusion of "I can definitely do it again." Can't even wake up from it. --- Looking at this writing style, why does it feel like I'm writing about myself... --- That part where 40k evaporates to a few hundred bucks really hit me hard, too real, bro. --- It's actually just an addiction, more addictive than gambling. No one can save you.

Wow, I've heard this story too many times. Really, the thrill of 1.5k to 40k can ruin a person's judgment for the whole year.

It's really incredible, it's just like my buddy, who is still stubbornly holding on. Every day he says he will quit, but his fingers are a hundred times faster than his brain. Going from 1.5k to 40k in just 48 hours is really poison; once you taste it, there's no turning back. Contracts are a psychological game; if you win, you feel on top of the world, and if you lose, you still want to recover your losses. This vicious cycle is inescapable. I've advised him countless times, but he just won't listen. Now his account is at the point of just a chicken pecking at each other. This stuff is even harsher than gambling; at least with gambling, you know you're taking a risk, but contracts make you feel like you're a pro. There are too many people like this in the crypto world; they mostly have Heavy Positions without stop loss, and then start believing they are the kings of the trend. To be honest, after seeing so many cases like this, I now keep my distance whenever I hear someone talking about contracts. It feels like the crypto world is just this weird cycle; even knowing the risks, people still jump in because the thrill is really intoxicating.

Really, when 15k suddenly turned into 40k, my brain was completely fried --- Fortunately, I didn't touch the contracts, otherwise I would have lost everything long ago --- This guy is a typical gambler, he just can't stop --- Contract leverage is poison, once you taste it, there's no turning back --- The most terrifying part is that he knows it's a pit but still jumps in, it's insane --- Getting rich in ten minutes and going bust in ten minutes, that's how it is in the crypto world contracts --- Watching him fall from 40k to a few hundred bucks, how desperate must that be --- What's stop loss? You've probably never even heard of it haha --- Adrenaline addiction is worse than drugs, that's true --- When you wake up from the dream and your account is cleared, who hasn't been through that?
