Cryptocurrency Pitfalls: Heavy Investment and High Leverage are the Fastest Ways to Exit
The fastest way for new entrants in the cryptocurrency market to lose everything, I've summarized it for you: heavy investment + high leverage.
Recently, there was a newcomer who entered the market with 5000U and opened a full position with 20x leverage. I advised him to learn about risk control first, but he eagerly said, "With such a small principal, how can I turn it around without taking a gamble?" As a result, he was liquidated in three days and lost everything.
Let me put it bluntly: heavy investment and high leverage do not just imply "possible losses"; they guarantee losses sooner or later.
Many people think leverage is a "wealth accelerator" that can multiply small profits by dozens of times, but they forget that it amplifies not profits, but volatility.
In the cryptocurrency market, where are there so many one-sided trends? Most of the time, it’s about fluctuations, and constantly hitting stop-losses and consuming liquidity is the norm.
Nothing is more heartbreaking than this: you correctly predicted the direction and didn’t misjudge the trend, yet you couldn’t last long enough to see the market take off.
Being stopped out and liquidated isn’t due to poor skills; it’s because from the moment you opened a high-leverage position with heavy investment, the position structure was already wrong.
I’ve seen too many people like this; clearly, they could make some money with a lighter position, yet they gamble everything, ultimately becoming "fuel" for the market.
Do you know what type of users exchanges welcome the most? Those who love full positions, high leverage, frequent reckless operations, and stubbornly hold on when losing.
In the eyes of the platform, their stop-losses are liquidity, liquidations are counterparties, and trading fees are a stable cash flow.
You think you’re "fighting to turn it around," but in reality, you’re just giving money away.
Those who can stay in the cryptocurrency market for the long term are always the "steady type":
A lighter position is to leave a way out, avoiding being crushed in one go;
Low leverage or even no leverage is to withstand the bumps of volatility;
Putting "survival" first is more important than chasing high profits;
They believe in certainty, not in the odds of "taking a gamble."
They don’t want to miss out on big money; they understand that "opportunities are always more than the principal."
If you are still thinking of "solving life problems" through heavy investment and high leverage, that’s not trading, it’s accelerating your exit.
Lastly, here’s a practical suggestion: if you really want to trade, choose a platform with low fees first; this is the most basic yet often overlooked life-saving detail.
