People in the crypto circle, wanting to completely withdraw, honestly—it's not easy at all.



I have an acquaintance who once started with 1500 yuan to open a contract as a starter, and after 48 hours, there were 40,000 yuan sitting in his account. That day, he truly felt like he had cracked the market code, making money as easily as breathing.

You can probably guess what happened next. Heavy positions, full positions, stubbornly resisting losses—40,000 yuan evaporated into a few hundred. And he just couldn't stop.

Since then, he's been watching the market every day, often staying up until dawn; meal times became a thing of the past. He would complain, "Contracts drive people crazy," but whenever the market fluctuated even a little, he'd jump right in, faster than the quickest responder.

That "rush" from trading contracts is addictive—leveraging dozens of times, if he got the direction right, the funds would double in the blink of an eye. This sense of speed simply can't be matched by the stock market, and even the thrill at a gambling table pales in comparison.

The stock market's daily fluctuation limit is at most 10%, but in the crypto world? Doubling in a day is an easy feat. The problem is, once you've tasted this "quick money," your entire mind becomes obsessed: I can definitely win my money back.

Little do most people realize, before they even get a chance to turn their luck around, they've already been ruthlessly pushed out by the market.

The hardest part of trading contracts isn't actually greed itself, but the illusion created by that overload of "speed"—too fast, too exhilarating, like a beautiful dream you’re reluctant to wake from.

The human heart is inherently filled with insatiable greed, always dreaming of soaring to the sky and getting rich overnight.

The more glamorous the dream, the more painful the crash when you wake up.

Honestly, I get annoyed when I see these stories. Every day, those people are hyping up 48-hour doubling. I just want to ask—why don't you go buy a lottery ticket? The odds are pretty similar anyway.

I think that's very true. That guy is a microcosm of my surroundings. From 1,500 to 40,000, then bankruptcy, the entire process is like watching a tragedy unfold again.

A typical gambler's mentality, the chip distribution shows that the big players have already offloaded at high levels, but retail investors are still holding on desperately [laughing with tears]

Well... you're absolutely right. My buddy is still glued to the screen right now, really can't turn back. Don't say it, it hits home. I've been through the same thing myself. This thing with contracts is like poison; once you've tasted the thrill, you just can't stop. But on the other hand, some people really turn their lives around because of it, though it's a one in a million chance. I'm now just a laid-back guy, given up, and living a truly peaceful life. Seeing acquaintances staying up all night watching the markets, I feel exhausted just thinking about it. Honestly, it's a psychological game; losing makes you want to win it back, but in the end, the winners are always the exchanges. This article is written perfectly; every crypto person can probably relate to it.
