Trading 1000 yuan in stocks and earning ten times in a year sounds great, but how many people can actually do it? Even if you do, you only make 10,000 yuan. But the crypto world is different.
Using the same 1000 yuan to trade cryptocurrencies, the worst-case scenario is losing everything in 3 days. But because leverage exists, low-probability events become possible—you really might turn things around.
Where is the key? In cognition.
Many people treat contracts as a flood monster, saying that high risk and high leverage mean gambling. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of the tool itself. The reason why contracts cause people to lose money is not that the contracts are inherently toxic, but that operators lack basic trading cognition. You need to understand what risk management means.
Before starting to build a position at the bottom, you must first calculate your stop-loss point—that is, how much you can lose at most. When the timing is right, hold on to your profits; when wrong, cut losses decisively, and repeat this process. Making money is actually that simple.
This is where the difference between speculators and gamblers lies. Gamblers treat contracts as casino tools, betting everything on luck. True speculators, on the other hand, base their leverage on market direction predictions and risk tolerance to amplify reasonable gains.
The opportunities in Bitcoin and the crypto market over the past few years won't be missed by those without cognition, nor will they neglect those who are willing to learn. The direction is clear—it's up to you whether you can keep up with the rhythm.

It sounds good, but how many people can actually stick to stop-loss? Most people are just blinded by FOMO.
Those who truly make money are the ones who can endure, not those who rely on luck.

Sounds good, but the key is still to survive until the day of profit.

That's right, the gap caused by differences in understanding is this big.

It sounds good, but it really depends on who is playing. I've seen too many inexperienced newcomers with insufficient knowledge.
Losing everything in 3 days is real; I've seen it with my own eyes.
Risk management sounds simple, but it's hard to actually do, brother.
Contracts are not poison; the problem is that most people lack the resolve.
Stop-loss, stop-loss—it's easy to say, but when you're truly losing, who is willing to press it?
The opportunity is right here; it all comes down to luck, to be honest.

That's right, risk management is the threshold; most people fail because they don't cut losses.

That's right, poor awareness is a matter of life and death. Many people are terrified by liquidation, but actually, they just don't understand risk management.

Sounds good, but how many people can really stick to stop-loss? I've seen too many people who start out seriously talking about risk management, but after losing half, they go all-in to try to turn things around.
