#Strategy加仓BTC Why do contracts always make people addicted? Honestly, it's the "quick money" that causes trouble.

People complain that contracts are a "meat grinder," but when market fluctuations happen, their hands become surprisingly honest. Why is that? Because quick money is just too close!

Think about real life: an average worker's monthly hard-earned money might be just over ten thousand. But in the contract market, with a ten-thousand principal and a market fluctuation, the account can swing enough to match your entire month's salary! This kind of thrill is almost irresistible.

Crypto market volatility is already outrageous. Even the "relatively stable" big coins like BTC can experience deep retracements when emotions run high; smaller coins are even worse—one big bullish candle or a dump can make your heart race to 200 bpm. Fluctuating a few points in minutes is just daily routine.

But the real addiction to contracts isn't about whether you're right or wrong on the direction; it's about the moment when your money multiplies exponentially. When you feel lucky after a few trades, and then start fantasizing about finding the secret to getting rich. The same market change might only cause a few percent increase in spot trading, but in contracts, your account can rocket upwards. This gap is enough to shatter most people's last line of rationality.

In the end, there are two types of people: a few treat contracts as a tool, with small positions and strict risk control, slowly "grinding" out profits; most see it as a lifeline, dreaming of turning things around and rewriting their lives.

Ultimately, contracts themselves aren't inherently evil. The real danger lies in how you use them. If you can control your positions and set proper stop-losses, they can amplify your gains; but if your mind is only thinking "one more time, I can get back what I lost," the market will eventually take everything—including principal and interest.

Quick money is right there, close enough to make you take off instantly, but also close enough to drag you into ruin with one wrong step.

I get it, it's that feeling of earning half a year's salary in a second and then dropping back to square one in the next, and you just can't stop.

That really hits home. I'm the kind of person who complains verbally but is honest at heart. I always tell myself this is the last round, but you know how it goes...

That's true, but I still think most people simply can't control themselves. They start to get arrogant after winning a few rounds, and there's really no way to prevent it.

That's correct, it's just a psychological game trap. Seeing the right direction is only a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. The true determinant of victory or defeat is risk control discipline.

Data shows that 99% of contract players ultimately get liquidated in the "try again" cycle. No matter how well this article is written, it cannot change this reality. Ironically, the author is still dividing people into "two types"? Historical lessons tell us that the second type of person basically does not exist.
