#加密生态动态追踪 Contract trading addiction, how can you quit? Honestly, it's not as simple as it seems.

I have a friend who is new to the game. He tried contract trading with 1500 yuan, and within two days, his account skyrocketed to 40,000. At that moment, he felt like he had discovered a gold mine—making money was so easy.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last. Overleveraging, full positions, stubbornly holding without stopping loss, and he turned 40,000 into just a few hundred. Ironically, this lesson didn't make him sober. Instead, he stared at the K-line every day, lost his appetite and sleep, complained "contracts are a trap," then jumped right back in to double down.

What is the root cause? Contracts are all about speed. Leverage can be dozens of times. With the right market move, the account funds shoot up like a rocket. Stocks typically fluctuate at most 10% in a day, but in the crypto market, a 100% fluctuation daily is common. Once you've tasted that rapid surge, a voice takes over: there's still a chance to turn it around.

But reality is cruel. Most people don't even wait for that turnaround; their accounts are already wiped out by the market.

This is the truth about contract trading being hard to escape—it's not just greed. It's that the rush, the near-dreamlike gains, have completely rewired the nerves. A beautiful dream is tempting, but at the cost of the entire principal.

I told you, that rush is enough to make you addicted for a lifetime.

A full gamble is a gambler's self-cultivation; talking about quitting is all nonsense.

1500 to 40,000 then back to a few hundred, this is the beginning of the domino effect. --- Lending rates soar, liquidation prices are right there waiting, you can't run away. --- To put it bluntly, this is the result of gambler's fallacy combined with neuro-modification, it's irresistible. --- Is 100% volatility normal? What about the risk control threshold? No one is doing the calculations at all. --- Turning 40,000 into a few hundred and still daring to keep playing, this is a sign of systemic risk. --- The thrill can be addictive, but liquidation prices come even faster, there is no third option. --- A single surge destroys rationality, this is the most terrifying aspect of leveraged trading. --- Contracts are essentially amplifiers, amplifying gains as well as despair, with no middle ground.

Really, once you get rich quickly, you start to get addicted. Can you just quit when you say so? Dream on. Contracts are like drugs; once you've tasted that thrill, your brain is fried. I've heard my friend's story too many times, and it's always the same ending. I think this is the true mentality of a gambler, not a matter of trading strategy. Instead of asking how to quit, it's better to ask why some people keep coming back for more. The thrill of turning 1500 into 40,000—who can resist that... Talking about stop-losses and rationality—those are all useless at this point; people just won't listen. One clearing isn't enough, you have to clear it a second time to finally remember. This is the magic of leverage, so exhilarating that you doubt your own life.
