Why do contract trading platforms so easily make people addicted? Honestly, it's not because the risks are so high, but because the lure of quick money is just too close.
Imagine this scenario: working from 9 to 5 for a month, earning 10,000 yuan through hard work. But in leveraged trading? With the same 10,000 yuan principal, a slight market fluctuation can multiply your account balance several times in just a few minutes. A month's salary could be wiped out in a single market wave. This feeling of exponential gains is the root of addiction.
The volatility in the crypto world is indeed crazy. Especially with small-cap coins, a single K-line can make your mindset collapse. Even seasoned players like $BTC can experience deep retracements when emotions run high, completely shattering your idea of "stability." The intense market swings combined with leverage's amplification effect are almost like an adrenaline-fueled roller coaster ride.
The truly frightening part isn't making money once, but making it multiple times. You start to self-hypnotize, thinking you've found a pattern or shortcut. Spot accounts might only shake slightly, but derivatives contracts can give you a jump in growth that feels like a leap forward. Over time, people easily fall into the "one more time" cycle.
Some treat contracts as tools, carefully calculating and testing small positions; others see it as the last lifeline to turn their lives around. That’s where the problem lies.
Honestly, contracts themselves are not evil. The key is how you use them. If you strictly follow risk management—setting stop-losses in advance, controlling position sizes, and treating leverage as an amplifier rather than a gambling table—they can be useful tools. But once you approach the market with a "try one more time" mentality, no matter how many opportunities are in front of you, the end result is always losing everything.
The temptation of contracts lies here: the dream of quick money, which is really too easy to wake up from.
