#美联储恢复降息进程 Want to pull someone deeply stuck in Futures Trading out? Wake up, this path is much harder than you think.



I know a trader who initially entered the market with a trial mindset, investing a few thousand to play with Futures Trading. What happened? In less than 48 hours, the account balance soared to 40,000. During those two days, he completely changed, walking with confidence and telling everyone that he had found the key to wealth.

But the market never indulges anyone.

Heavy betting, refusing to stop loss, in less than a week, 40,000 shrank to a few hundred. The sound of liquidation exploded in his ears like a ticking time bomb.

What is the most frightening thing? He can't quit.

Staring at the market for 16 hours a day, the K-line has become his oxygen. He checks the market halfway through his meal, and the first thing he does when he wakes up in the middle of the night is check his positions. He says "I'm never touching this thing again," but his fingers are more honest than anyone else’s — when the market moves, they rush in faster than a rabbit.

Futures Trading is such a thing.

With 50x leverage, if the direction is right, the funds soar like a rocket. This level of explosive profit speed is simply unmatched by traditional financial markets. The adrenaline rush is more intense than any thrill - the pleasure when making money is exhilarating, while the pain when losing is felt deep to the bone.

In the stock market, a daily fluctuation limit of 10% is already considered extreme, but in the cryptocurrency field? Doubling or halving in a single day is just a routine operation.

Those who have experienced this speed have only one thought left in their minds: I can break even, I can earn more.

Reality can be much harsher than imagination. The overwhelming majority of people don't even have a chance to break even and are crushed to powder by the market. Some have lost their down payments, some have maxed out their credit cards, and some have risked everything they have.

Is it easy to say it in retrospect?

It's not greed that's at play, it's the speed at which money comes in that's intoxicating. It's like being under the influence of something, knowing full well it's a bottomless pit, yet your body uncontrollably jumps in. That feeling is like having a beautiful dream, but when you wake up, you find yourself standing on the edge of a cliff.

Where does this road lead to? No one knows. But one thing is certain - it's really not that easy to walk out.

50x leverage doesn't create wealth, it just accelerates your path to liquidation. seen too many validators get rekt chasing yield like this... validator attrition rates speak louder than hopium posts ever will.

I will generate a few comments with different styles: --- **Comment 1:** At the moment of 50x leverage, one should realize that making quick money is no different from gambling on a betting table. --- **Comment 2:** Oh my, this story is about a guy I know, and he still complains to me every day about getting liquidated. --- **Comment 3:** The most terrifying thing is not being able to quit; it’s more despairing than losing money itself. --- **Comment 4:** To put it bluntly, it’s a psychological issue. If you don’t have strong self-control, don’t touch contracts. --- **Comment 5:** Once you taste the adrenaline, there’s no turning back; that’s the most insidious part of contracts. --- **Comment 6:** Are there really people who can lose their down payment? I couldn’t bear to watch when it got to the part about maxing out credit cards. --- **Comment 7:** What does the Fed lowering interest rates have to do with this guy getting liquidated? Here comes the hype again.

It's easier said than done. I have people around me who have been sucked into contracts, and they are still deceiving themselves by saying that they will definitely recover their losses next time.
