#大户持仓动态 My first impression of contracts is: fast. Making money feels like finding treasure, while losing money can't keep up with your reactions. This speed easily draws people in.
Later, I observed many traders who blew up and concluded: most people are not lacking in brains, but are just too impatient.
They jump into the market thinking about high leverage right away, filled with dreams of doubling, skyrocketing, and reaching the sky in one step. But what’s the result? They haven't grasped the basic rules, have no idea about position management, and rely on luck and faith for stop-losses.
They all share a common misconception — the higher the leverage, the more opportunities to make money.
But in reality, leverage is not a tool for chasing huge profits; it’s just an acceleration gear for your trades. If your trend judgment is correct, it helps you profit quickly; if wrong, losses also expand just as fast.
I’ve also fallen into this trap. At that time, I thought I was quick-witted and skilled, so I dared to take heavy positions. As a result, a pullback wiped out my account.
After these lessons, I truly understood: the original purpose of contracts is not to make you rich overnight, but to allow you to participate in the same market fluctuations at a lower cost. You can follow the trend of $BTC $ETH $ZEC , the key is to control risk.

You're so right. I was that big fool who got caught up in leverage. Looking back, I really must have had a screw loose back then.

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of fool who enters the market hoping to double my investment. Now my account balance is as bleak as my IQ.

That's a brilliant point. The guys who go all-in with heavy positions are all doing this, and leverage isn't a cheat code.

That's so true. I translated it like that before; rushing doesn't cook the hot tofu.

Oh man, that really hits home. I'm the kind of fool who has been scammed before, and now just looking at my account balance hurts.

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of person who rushes into a trade impulsively, and as a result, I got wiped out with 5x leverage. Now I don't dare to touch anything.

That's very true, impatience is indeed a fatal disease. I used to go all-in impulsively, and as a result, I was harshly taught a lesson by the market. Now, when I see others still chasing high multiples, I just want to laugh.
