Don't remind me again today

I have seen too many stories like #数字货币市场回调 .



A guy initially invested 1500 bucks for fun, and in two days, his account balance jumped to 40,000. At that time, to him, the entire crypto market looked like a cheat code cash printing machine.

So what’s the result? Heavy investment, stubbornly holding positions, frantically buying and selling—within a few days, 40,000 shrank to a few hundred. By all accounts, one should have woken up by now, right? But no. Instead, they are getting deeper into trouble.

Staring at the K-line during the day, waking up in the middle of the night startled by the market, forgetting to eat. Cursing "this thing is not meant for humans," but my hands can't stop, and my mind is filled with "next time I will definitely break even."

At this point, you call this greed? It's too simple.

The thrill of high-leverage contracts can really get you hooked. With dozens of times leverage, you can see your account double in just a few minutes, or experience a sudden drop in half. This speed is something traditional stock markets simply cannot match—over there, a 10% fluctuation in a day is considered extreme, while here, doubling and then going to zero is just a regular occurrence.

Once you've experienced this kind of speed, it's hard to adapt to the "slow accumulation" approach. There's always a voice in your head saying, "Give me one more chance, this time it will definitely work!" "I just had a bit of bad luck earlier!" But reality is harsh— the more you want to turn things around quickly, the faster you lose. Most people don't even wait for the so-called "opportunity" before they're already out.

Do they not understand the risks? Of course they do. But the thrill of an asset skyrocketing feels like a roller coaster—the exhilaration at the peak and the despair of plummeting to the bottom create a mesmerizing and inescapable cycle.

So if you ask: Can someone who is used to trading contracts go back to a normal rhythm?

I think: it's very difficult, but it's not impossible.

The issue is not about quitting the operation itself, but about getting rid of that "inner demon"—you have to admit that the idea of getting rich quickly is essentially an illusion. The market always has opportunities, but your capital is limited.

Those who can truly survive in this market are never gamblers, but rather those who can control their positions, manage their emotions, and respect the risks.

Don't let a moment of excitement disrupt the rhythm of your entire life.

Really, those who have played with high leverage have ruined their minds and can't turn back. That moment of going all in is really exhilarating, but when you wake up, you're already in the negatives. To put it bluntly, it's a gambler's mentality, knowing the odds are against you but still choosing to go all in. I have several friends around me who have quit, but they can't shake off that kind of desire. Actually, the hardest part isn't the stop loss, it's admitting that you might not be able to make that quick money.

It's too real. I have a few buddies like that around me, and now none of them are really speaking up. Gambling harms the body, and that contract thing is just a trap for people. To put it bluntly, it's hard to quit that kind of thrill; the experience of doubling your money once can poison a person for a long time. Loss is loss, but at least we're still alive; some people just disappeared. That last sentence really hits home; a lifetime's rhythm can truly be ruined by a moment's stimulation. The scariest thing about this market isn't the fall, it's knowing it's going to fall but still not being able to stop. Controlling positions is really the only way to survive, but unfortunately, most people just can't grasp it.

It's really heartbreaking, I've seen this experience too many times. Going all in with dozens of times, that feeling is indeed getting carried away, can't stop. The key is that after losing, you still want to make up for it, and the vicious cycle starts like that. You still have to recognize reality, controlling the position is the way to go.

It's too real. The thrill of going from 15k to 40k is indeed get carried away and more addictive than anything else. This contract thing is just like a drug; once you've tasted the pleasure of doubling, you can't go back. I've seen too many guys like this, and in the end, they're broke yet still deceiving themselves. To put it harshly, it's just that the gambling nature has come up, and no amount of reasoning can persuade them. I've heard the talk about Position management a thousand times, but when it comes to losing money, my mind is still blank. Every time I say this time will be different, but it turns out to be the same every time—Cut Loss and exit. This market really brings out every bit of greed in people's hearts.

Seeing stories like this reminds me of a guy I know, he played with 1500 for two years and didn't lose anything, but he didn't make anything either... maybe this is what living is all about.
