#数字资产生态回暖 People around entering the crypto world start quite "pure" at first.

Invest 1500 bucks, turn into 40,000 in 48 hours. During that $XRP surge, this brother's walk changed—it was different. He turned around and told me, "Damn, this is way too easy." After hearing that, I knew—this guy is bound to crash sooner or later.

Then comes the old script: testing small amounts, then going all-in, stubbornly holding through losses—"the three stages of losing money" without missing a beat. In the end, only a few hundred bucks left from 40,000. $SOL was skyrocketing at that time.

Do you think this can keep you sober? Dream on.

The real trap is this: once you've tasted the thrill of "instant wealth," your brain can never let go. You say "never touch contracts," but your fingers move faster than anyone. When the next wave hits, you're the first to rush in.

Contracts have three features: fast, exciting, addictive.

A 10% daily fluctuation in stocks is a big event; doubling your money in 24 hours in crypto is just normal. Plus, with 5x or 10x leverage, if you bet right, your account skyrockets; if wrong, your principal evaporates—but you still want to continue, because you feel the next trade will turn everything around.

The cruelest part is the money you make on that first win. From that moment on, your brain is filled with one thought: "I can definitely win it back."

And so you fall into the vortex of "losing more and betting more." Most people can't even hold out until they break even—they're already kicked out.

This is the real reason why contracts are so addictive—not because of greed, but because their pace is too fast, and their temptation is too much like a beautiful dream. The more beautiful the dream, the more painful the fall.
