#加密生态动态追踪 $ZEC Friends around me are one after another getting liquidated and leaving the market. I finally understand how painful that phrase is — this game isn't about running fast, but about lasting longer.

Some can't bear missing out and regret it day after day; some panic at the slightest retracement; some get caught by leverage backlash, and one bad trade leads them to declare permanent retirement. Every time I see it, I feel a bit of a sting because I’ve also stumbled and fallen like that in the past.

Now I can say something, it might be harsh but it's absolutely true: figuring out whether you’re playing spot or derivatives can really save you five years of detours. This isn't just motivational talk; it's knowledge built on real gold and silver.

Too many newcomers come in and are brainwashed by the "doubling myth," insisting that only trading derivatives makes them feel "somewhat impressive." As a result, during a retracement, their accounts shrink faster than you can open a chart. They think they lose because they can’t predict the market, but actually, they lose because they never figured out if leverage suits them.

On the other hand, I've also seen many spot traders with decent risk control awareness, but they stare at the charts all day, their hearts pounding, afraid of missing a rise or getting caught in a fall. They think they’re losing due to luck, but in reality, they simply haven't chosen the right approach — they need swing trading rhythm, not constantly rushing in.

From "full position all-in" to "buying in whenever there's a rise," from "opening derivatives when unsure" to "adding more money as losses grow," I’ve stepped into every pitfall. Each time, I realize one thing more clearly: there’s no absolutely correct way in the circle, only the one that fits you best.

If your stress tolerance is average and you think a drawdown keeps you awake at night, then stick with spot — slow but steady, at least you can sleep peacefully. If you have a strong mindset, execution ability, and can endure waiting during flat periods, derivatives can work too — just make sure your position sizing is disciplined enough.

Ask yourself: Are you willing to be the one chasing the rise and selling at the dip for your entire life, or do you want to be the last winner who laughs last? The choice is in your hands.
