What is the essence of an exchange? Simply put, it is to enable retail investors to participate in leverage trading and contract operations as much as possible. Whether it is spot trading or perpetual contracts, exchanges earn transaction fees from these activities, while most retail investors end up losing everything in this game. This model has never been designed to help ordinary people accumulate assets, but rather to continuously harvest profits from market fluctuations.

Leverage is really a slaughterhouse for exchanges. I've seen so many people go all-in and end up losing everything.

Here we go again with the same excuse. But let's not pretend to be naive; who goes to an exchange truly hoping to make a guaranteed profit... It's just greed.

Leverage is a huge trap. I've seen so many people go all-in and never come out again.

I've seen through it long ago, exchanges are just vampires, and we are the leeks.

Well said, exchanges are just vampires; we're all just leeks.

I think that's a bit absolute... Exchanges definitely make money from fees, but it's not all about harvesting; it mainly depends on how you play.

Ha, you're right. Exchanges are just machines that feed on people's blood, squeezing every penny in fees, leaving retail investors with nothing.

Well... that's right, exchanges are like vampires; transaction fees are the real hard cash.

Operators, exchanges are just ruthless machines that take everything without leaving any bones. We retail investors are just the chives in the leek field.
