Watched my account balance quadruple in half an hour, but before I could even take a screenshot to show off, I lost it all in the next second.

My mind is blank right now. I worked over a dozen hours every day this past month, saving up a bit of capital from delivering food, hoping I could give my family a better life by the end of the year. But then I started using leverage, staring at the K-line as it fluctuated up and down, and in the end, I lost everything—principal and interest included.

When the withdrawal page showed a zero balance, my finger hovered over the screen for a long time. It wasn't about being unwilling to accept it; I was just completely numb—after a month of hard work, my account balance is back to where I started. That's what contracts are like: easy come, even easier go.

All I want to say now is: stay away from high leverage. Seriously.

This is the true face of contracts: one second you're in heaven, the next in hell. --- Leverage, huh? When you make money, you feel like a genius; when you lose, you realize you were a fool. --- I feel bad for you just reading this—a month's hard-earned money gone just like that. --- I just want to ask, has anyone really made money with high leverage? Tell me, I want to hear. --- This is why I now only touch stablecoins and never look at K-lines anymore. --- Damn, this hits too close to home—feels like I'm watching my own story. --- High leverage really is poison. If I hadn't lost before, I wouldn't have been able to walk away. --- All those hours of work in a month just gone like that? I really can't take it.

Leverage really is the devil. Four times leverage went to zero in an instant—so heartbreaking. --- A month’s hard-earned money, gone in just a few minutes. This feeling is pure despair. --- That’s how contracts are: when you win, it feels great for a second; when you lose, you regret it for a whole month. --- Seeing the balance hit zero, I can imagine how that feels... It’s just too hard, bro. --- Losing all your principal is the most painful part—it’s your hard-earned money from work. --- High leverage really is the fastest way to go bankrupt, bar none. --- Quadrupled in half an hour, then back to zero—this market move is insane. --- That’s why it’s okay to play with small amounts, but don’t go all in with your principal, bro. --- Leverage is just something that destroys lives. For me, I avoid it altogether. --- Gave my whole monthly salary to the exchange. How much is this lesson worth?

This is the true nature of leverage—gambler mentality is the easiest to exploit.

Leverage really is the devil, a lesson learned the hard way. Four times leverage wiped out instantly—what a huge psychological blow. A month's work gone in an instant, I feel sorry for you. Don't blame the candlestick chart, blame our own greed. That's why I never touch leverage above 10x anymore. The feeling when you see the screen go black can really make you depressed. Remember next time, your principal is everything.

Four times up to zero, that's just standard contract operations. Seriously, stay away from high leverage, bro. --- Watching the candlestick plunge at that moment, it really feels worse than death. --- A month's worth of takeout money completely gone, leverage is just hell for gamblers. --- Damn, that move was insane, instantly went from millionaire back to wage slave. --- Say no more, I got drained the same way. Now I feel sick just looking at candlesticks. --- Four times in half an hour and then wiped out in minutes, the script for this is just too ridiculous. --- Damn contracts, just there to fleece people. I'm never touching them again. --- The moment my finger stopped on the screen, I finally understood what despair means. --- A month's salary down the drain, this trade was a total disaster. --- High leverage is just hell on earth—fast gains, faster losses.
