The god-creating mechanism on social platforms has been reinforcing a core narrative: as long as ordinary people are unique enough and work hard, they have a chance to turn things around. This logic has indeed attracted a large number of grassroots participants to enter. But reality is often more brutal—many people have suffered losses in the contract market.

A typical case: investors chase high prices in leveraged trading, only to be wiped out by a single pullback, with their principal instantly wiped out and completely cut off. Stories like this happen every day in the crypto world. The gap between platform traffic stories and market reality is often the result of this. grassroots participants need to understand: opportunities do exist, but risks are equally real. Contract leverage is like a double-edged sword; a moment of carelessness can lead to total loss.

This is the truth of the crypto world. Every day you hear people brag about getting rich overnight, and then they get liquidated and wiped out. Contracts are really a gambler's playground, with risks far outweighing rewards. People say that hard work can turn things around, but reality hits you with a sudden correction, and your principal is gone. Platforms rely on these stories to harvest retail investors; the common people are the easiest to be exploited. Leverage kills without bloodshed; many people's dreams turn into nightmares instead. Instead of chasing highs, it's better to study risk management carefully, but who really listens? This god-creating logic has harmed so many people; every day, someone gets liquidated and exits the market.

That's right, leverage is a trap, and you see people liquidated every day. Chasing highs to make money is just survivor bias; most people are cannon fodder. This god-creating story really needs to be shattered. Nine and a half out of ten contract traders lose money; wake up, everyone. The most easily exploited are the grassroots traders, because they have little capital and still want to double it. Every pullback is a harvesting moment, and the platform is the happiest. Risks and opportunities are never equal; who told you that 50x leverage can make you rich?

Basically, it's a game of hot potato, someone always has to take the last hit. Contracts are really the perfect tool for cutting leeks; once leverage is used, your mind becomes unclear. Always hearing stories of monthly earnings of millions, never mentioning those who got liquidated. Chasing highs is a deadly disease; with a quick move, your account is gone. Platforms profit from traffic, retail investors lose their principal—that's the ecosystem.

Ha, it's the same old routine of cutting leeks, social media is the best at storytelling. Leverage traders are mostly cannon fodder, I've seen through this a long time ago. Chasing highs is the most exciting, getting liquidated is the worst—brutal reality. Platforms hype up dreams every day, but they're actually fishing. In this contract game, the ones making money are the manipulators, and we're the ones losing money. We can't escape this cycle, brother.

actually if you ran the numbers on liquidation cascades during these "回调" events, the correlation coefficient between leverage ratio and rekt probability is basically 1.0. these plebs never backtest their positions

In the chat group, you'll never hear the sound of liquidation, only dreams of getting rich quickly. Leverage is really an accelerator, only speeding you toward bankruptcy. When chasing a high, you don't think much at all; by the time you realize it, it's already gone.

Uh... it's the same story again. Every time, I see someone losing money badly. It feels like the crypto world is just a conveyor belt for cutting leeks. Leverage really is dangerous. One correction and it's gone. I haven't seen anyone get rich quickly through contracts, but I've heard countless stories of margin calls. The platform's success philosophy is like poison. The underlying players are fooled to death before realizing they're just being slaughtered. I don't touch contracts at all. The risk is too high. It's safer to just hold steadily.
