I have a friend who, when he first entered the futures market, invested only 1,500 USD to try his luck. Unexpectedly, within two days, his account skyrocketed to 40,000 USD. At that point, he was floating on air, truly believing he was a prodigy in the crypto world, thinking making money was that easy.

But you can probably guess the second half of the story. Doubling down with full positions, refusing to let go, his 40,000 USD was eventually squeezed down to just a few hundred dollars. By the time he realized it, he was already trapped and couldn't get out — staying up all night watching the K-line, eating poorly, unable to sleep, cursing "contract dogs, don’t play," and whenever there's a market move, rushing in faster than anyone else. This is the most painful cycle.

You ask me why it's so hard to quit? The key is just two words: too fast. Using ten or twenty times leverage, when a trade goes right, the feeling of capital soaring is truly exhilarating. It's more exciting than traditional stock trading and even more intense than gambling. When you're winning, you soar to the sky; when you lose, you clear your positions in an instant.

The fluctuation in stocks in a single day is usually just that much, but in the crypto world, doubling or halving in a single day is common. Once people taste the thrill of quick money, their minds are filled with one thought: do it again, this time definitely to turn things around. Most people don't even get the chance to recover before they're out of the market altogether.

The magic of futures lies here — it's not just about triggering your greed, but the speed at which you can make money is so outrageous, so addictive, it's like dreaming of making big money. Once awake, you can never return to an ordinary life.
