Over the past few years of working with contracts, I've seen too many people lose their grip in the thrill of small gains doubling quickly. Going from ten-something U to 1000U? Not surprising, I've done it many times. But the real stumbling block is above 1000U—every time, they want to go all-in and push to 10,000U, only to repeatedly fall back to zero from 1000U.



The most ironic part is that in half a day, you can explode from 20U to 1000U, then turn around and drop straight back to zero. This is the duality of the crypto world—opportunities and traps are just one decision apart.

Now I’ve come to understand: the more you push upward, the more you need to pull back. Starting from the 1000U mark, you must change from an aggressive full-position approach to controlling your pace and position size. Risk management isn’t about preventing you from making money; it’s about ensuring you survive to see the next opportunity. Many people die at the moment of greed, never lasting long enough to ride the real profit wave.

Oh dear, the 1000U threshold is indeed a watershed moment. How many people have fallen at the instant of all-in?

Well said. I've repeatedly hit the 1000U hurdle, and every time I just want to wipe everything out in one go. It's too hard to wake up from the thrill of doubling. Greed is more deadly than losing money.

This is the difference between the chosen ones and the newcomers; surviving is the real winner.

This is a classic case of the Kelly formula failing in action. With small principal amounts and high leverage multiples, it's indeed easy to trigger survivor bias... But the 1000U threshold really trapped a large number of people. From a game theory perspective, it's just that the risk aversion coefficient wasn't calculated correctly.
