#比特币2026年行情展望 Everyone, let's talk about something that hits close to home. Why is the contract market so addictive? Simply put—it's because it taps into the most secret parts of the human mind: greed and fear.



Spot trading makes money like a slow trickle, stable but slow. Contracts? They are a grand spectacle. Tenfold leverage, hundredfold imagination—the thrill when account numbers jump is not investing, but a dopamine harvesting machine. This is already within the realm of gambling.

What’s even more dangerous? That sense of omnipotence. Staring at K-line charts and thinking you can read the market, as if a single finger tap can decide the rise or fall. Winning makes you think you're smart; losing, you blame luck. This illusion of control woven by desire is more deadly than high leverage itself.

Social media pushes this to the extreme. All you see are stories of hundredfold riches and sudden wealth, but you don’t see the others on the other side of the screen who got liquidated. Survivor bias is thus created—everyone seems to be making big money, leading countless people to blindly invest all they have.

The reality is harsh: the contract market, at its core, is a tool for wealth redistribution. This system inherently ensures most people become fertilizer. Under the magnifying glass of high leverage, even a tiny reverse fluctuation can ruin you. The ones who truly laugh last are always those top traders with iron discipline, and the exchanges that sit calmly on their fishing seats.

My advice is straightforward: if you’re still a rookie, have not experienced a full bull and bear cycle, and lack a mature trading system, then stay far away from contracts. It’s not a gold rush zone; it’s an abyss.

For those already in it, remember these three bottom lines: only trade with spare money you can afford to lose; never set a single trade stop-loss exceeding 2% of your principal; always set a stop-loss when opening a position, and take profits promptly. Don’t forget, surviving long in this market is a hundred times more valuable than risking a big profit in one shot.

Exactly right, I am the living example of the opposite.

That hits too close to home. Someone around me has already been liquidated to zero.

Honestly, contracts are just ruthless things that eat people without leaving bones. That moment of 100x leverage really gets you hooked, but a second of clarity makes you realize you're gambling. After seeing too many stories of people getting rich overnight and then going bankrupt overnight, it's better to honestly stick to the fundamentals. Survivor bias is so cruel that you can't even see the dead. Exchanges and top players are the real winners; we are just the leeks. If you have no system and no experience, just don't touch it, really. If you've already entered, you must stick to a 2% stop loss. Those still daring to go all-in on contracts now, I truly admire your courage. Dopamine rush vs. account explosion, whoever calculates this loses. A good article hits the mark, but I guess only a few will truly listen to these words.

It's truly heartbreaking, but I've heard this explanation too many times. Are there really people who can stick to a 2% stop-loss now?

To be honest, I am now someone who has been liquidated before, a painful lesson, brother. 100x leverage is indeed poison, but what can I do if I’m addicted. The futures market is just a meat grinder; no one can walk away unscathed. That's right, I didn't stick to the 2% stop-loss, and that’s the cost of blood. Now I only dare to trade with idle funds; living is much more important than making money. Exchanges are the ultimate winners; these game rules are written clearly. Newbies, take advice: don’t touch leverage. I am the living example of the opposite.
