#数字资产生态回暖 $ETH Can someone addicted to leverage trading still find an exit?
To be honest—it's especially difficult.
$ZEC I have a friend who initially didn't take it seriously at all. With a principal of 1,500 yuan, he doubled it to 40,000 in two days.
$PIPPIN During that time, he completely lost himself. Walking as if he were about to ascend to heaven, truly believing he was the chosen one—a genius investor in the crypto world.
Then what—going all in, placing a big bet, desperately resisting liquidation, constantly adding more...
40,000 yuan vanished instantly back to a few hundred.
The account returned to the starting point, but he couldn't turn back.
Since then, he's been glued to the screen. Day and night, not even bothering to eat, completely hijacked by the market.
He says, "I will never do futures again,"
But as soon as the candlestick chart moves, he's faster than anyone to jump in.
Where's the key problem?
The real killer of futures isn't losing money,
It's the word "fast."
With leverage of dozens of times, as long as you bet on the right direction once,
your funds can soar like a rocket.
This speed is a hundred times more exciting than stocks, much more intense than gambling, and more real than any dream.
A 10% fluctuation in the stock market in a day is already an extreme event,
But a 100% rise and fall in the crypto market in a day—it's simply commonplace.
Once you've experienced that rush,
there's only one obsession in your mind:
"I can definitely turn things around."
But reality is often cruel—
Most people don't even wait for that turnaround moment,
They get wiped out in a deep market correction.
Why is it so hard for people who have experienced high leverage to return to normal life?
It's hard to say it's greed,
Actually—it’s—
It’s too fast, too addictive, too much like a beautiful dream that can swallow you whole.
The more beautiful the dream, the heavier the price at the end.

I've heard this story from your friends too many times, honestly it's numbing me a bit
---
That's why I never touch leverage, it's too damn刺激, it’s actually a kind of poison
---
4万瞬间回几百?我裂开了,这心理阴影得多久才能平复
---
The key is you can't stop, right? Once you have a successful experience, you get completely addicted
---
That's how it is in the crypto world. Win once and you think you're a genius, lose once and go bankrupt
---
Every time I see someone say they'll never touch contracts again, I know next time the market rises, they'll be the first to rush in
---
Pleasure is more intense than drugs, no wonder so many people can't turn back
---
To be honest, most contract players end up being cleared out, probability theory has been obvious for a long time
---
The sweeter the dream, the harsher the awakening. This metaphor is really perfect
---
Look at how many people are obsessively watching K-line charts, this is no longer investing, it's gambling addiction

Bro, I've seen stories like this around me too. To be honest, it's really heartbreaking to watch... The pain is the worst when you wake up from the dream.
---
Contracts are just electronic opium; after the thrill, there's nothing left.
---
That moment when 40,000 turns into a few hundred, he must have gone crazy. I can imagine that kind of despair...
---
Not everyone can survive leverage trading; most have to pay the tuition fee.
---
Jumping in as soon as the candlestick moves indicates they haven't completely given up yet. That's the most terrifying part.
---
Having experienced the joy of 50x leverage, how can you return to normal life? That's why gamblers can never turn their lives around.
---
Dreams that feel too real are the most deadly; if you can't wake up, you'll be trapped in the dream forever.

That's why I only watch now and don't trade. Every time I look at the K-line, I think of my friend's blood, tears, and struggles.
Every time I say I will quit, but then a rebound exposes my true self... It's really addictive poison.
Leverage is like a well; once you fall in, you can't climb out. Those who have experienced it firsthand understand.
Honestly, it's about the thrill addiction—more destructive than anything else.
I've also thought about turning things around, but probability theory tells me to just stay alive.
This piece is brilliantly written, painfully true, feels like it's talking about myself.
Contracts are just a beautiful dream; when you wake up, all that's left are debts and regrets.
Many people cash out, but truly making a full escape is like finding a needle in a haystack.
After reading this story, I’ve decided to be a stable leek instead.

Damn, this story is about my buddy, he's still there staring blankly at the screen
---
Honestly, once you've tasted the thrill, you can't go back, it's more addictive than poison
---
The part where 40,000 evaporated to a few hundred, I couldn't even laugh, it's so true
---
The key is, you just can't stop, every time the candlestick moves, you get itchy, everyone is the same
---
High leverage is just a trap, once you're in, it's almost impossible to get out
---
I just want to ask, besides liquidation, is there a second ending?
---
The scariest moment is when you wake up, by the time you wake, everything's gone
---
People who talk about quitting contracts, turn around and start to buy the dip, it's the same for everyone
---
The addictive speed is truly invincible, no one can resist
---
Turning around? Buddy, wake up, most people die trying to turn around
