#美联储降息 Traders involved in derivatives contracts, want to completely withdraw and return to normal life? To be honest, that’s truly a nightmare-level difficulty.



I know a guy who initially just wanted to try leverage trading casually, starting with 1500 bucks. And what happened? In just two days, it grew to 40,000. During that time, he got carried away, truly believing he was a genius investor in the crypto space, making money as easily as playing.

Later, because he kept pressing all-in, going all-in, and stubbornly holding his positions, the 40,000 quickly dropped back to a few hundred. Anyone else would’ve been scared off, but he was different—completely hooked. Every day, his eyes glued to the K-line chart, he’d forget to eat, forget to sleep, and he’d say, “Anyone who plays derivatives dies,” but as soon as he saw an opportunity, he’d rush in harder than anyone.

That’s the special thing about derivatives—it's ridiculously fast. Using leverage of dozens of times, if you spot a trend, your funds shoot upward like a rocket. Faster than stock trading, way more exciting than gambling, but profits come fast, and losses hit even harder.

Stocks might fluctuate 10% a day at most, but in crypto? Up and down 100% in a single day is just routine.

Once you’ve tasted the thrill of quick doubling, your mind is filled with one thought: next time, I’ll definitely turn it around. Ironically, most people never get that chance to recover because the market consumes them completely before they can.

That’s why, once you get involved in derivatives trading, it’s really difficult to walk away completely. It’s not just greed at play, but because that speed, that excitement, that feeling of overnight wealth—it's like a dream, and it’s intoxicating.

— Easy to dream, but waking up comes with a frightening price. Markets are there every day, but everyone’s principal and turnaround chances are few and far between.

Really, once you've experienced that rapid doubling, you just can't stop, it's like drug addiction To be honest, your friend's example is very typical. Falling from 40,000 to a few hundred bucks and still daring to keep playing—this is no longer an investment mindset Contracts are basically poison, more deadly than gambling because the speed is too fast for the brain to react --- Every time they say this is the last time, but when the market comes, they go all in again—completely unable to control themselves --- So true. At least five people around me are like this. They say they're quitting but can't really quit, watching the market every day more seriously than they watch their wife --- This is the real arbitrage mechanism—exchanges profit from retail investors' IQ taxes --- What’s the point of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates? These people still end up losing. They focus more on the candlestick charts than on real life --- There are too many issues. The problem is, knowing you'll lose but still going in—it's no different from a gambler's mentality --- I've seen your friend's story countless times. In the end, it's always the same outcome—ending up in the hospital

Oh my god, your story sounds just like my own experience... How is that guy doing now? --- From 1500 to 40,000 and then back down to a few hundred, this roller coaster is truly insane. If it were me, I would have already lost my mind. --- The key is that speed, it only takes a second to make you float, and you can't wake up from it. --- I've heard the phrase "Whoever plays the contract, whoever dies" too many times. After saying it, they go all-in, which is really a sickness. --- The speed in the crypto world is indeed absurd; you can't really experience this with stocks. No wonder it's so addictive. --- Doubling once and you can't go back. Isn't that just the gambling routine? Just with a different disguise. --- The problem isn't greed; it's that the thrill is just too deadly, and I can't quit.
