The man who trades cryptocurrencies, how to return to a normal life?
To be honest, it's really difficult.
I have a friend who initially just played around with futures, starting with a principal of 1500, and in two days turned it into 40,000. At that time, he thought he was the Buffett of the crypto world, making money so easily it was hard to believe.
However, the later story is something everyone can guess - heavy investment, all-in, and holding on, resulting in 40,000 turning back into a few hundred. But the problem is, he was already addicted.
Every day he would stare at the market, not eating or sleeping, saying, “Futures traders don’t play,” yet whenever there was an opportunity, he would rush in faster than anyone else.
Futures are just that fast. Once you open a leverage of dozens of times, if the market goes your way, the funds shoot up rapidly. It’s faster than stocks and more exciting than gambling; you earn a lot, but you can also lose heavily.
Stocks fluctuate a maximum of 10% in a day, while in the crypto world, a fluctuation of 100% in a day is not uncommon.
Once you taste the sweetness, there is only one thought in your head: “I can turn it around.”
But the reality is, most people haven’t even had the chance to turn things around before being cleaned out by the market.
This is also why, once you start trading futures, it’s really hard to turn back.
It’s not out of greed, but because it’s too fast, too exciting, and too much like a dream.
— But no matter how beautiful the dream, the cost is too high.
