#美联储联邦公开市场委员会决议 Late-night order placement: 7 hours of psychological breakdown from 10,000 capital to 110,000 illusion

Midnight 1｜Wild Awakening
A full position short with 10,000 USDT just entered. The first drop in the candlestick, fingers already on the add position button — you can smell the prey.

3:30 PM｜Adrenaline Surge
Account jumps to 50,000 USDT. Leverage quietly increases from 3x to 8x. The promise of "exit when down 5%" is completely drowned out by the screen’s glow.

7:00 PM｜Hallucination Moment
The 110,000 USDT balance burns in front of your eyes. You see it: the configuration list for the car, the sales control sheet for the old house, the group chat with relatives about to send a kowtow meme. The person is completely occupied by a false sense of wealth.

10:30 PM｜Awakening Comes Too Late
Net value drops from 110,000 to 50,000. At this moment, you finally hear: the hum of the air conditioner outside, the pulsation of the temple veins, the last echo of the rational persona from seven hours ago.

Trader’s Aftereffects

Physiological Aftereffects: The dopamine threshold has been permanently raised. Every subsequent normal profit feels like plain water, unable to evoke that extreme pleasure again.

Cognitive Aftereffects: You no longer believe in technical analysis. You only want to replicate that "brain explosion" chemical reaction. Rational analysis has become a luxury.

Account Aftereffects: Even if you earn back 200,000 USDT tomorrow, your subconscious will still murmur, "It should have been 1,100,000." Profits have lost their meaning.

The Most Dangerous Moment

The real danger in the crypto world is not at the moment of liquidation.

It’s at 3 a.m., facing the account balance on the screen, fingers starting to itch again, the heartbeat pausing before opening the next trade.

At that moment, you are not a trader. You are a prisoner enslaved by dopamine on the gambling table.

The market makers never take your money directly. They harvest your obsession with the illusion of "almost financial freedom." $BTC @ETH is just a tool; the real harvest happens in your mind.

Are you still waiting for the next "7-hour intracranial climax" in front of the screen?

Oh my, this is exactly how I felt last week. My mindset collapsed.

This article is really heartbreaking, it's talking about me... That part where my finger is on the buy more button, how is it so familiar? Wait, dropping from 110,000 back to 50,000? That feeling... is real, dopamine permanently elevated, there's no denying it. At 3 a.m., staring at the screen, no one can escape. I just want to ask, how many people are still repeating this cycle? This is the most genuine story in the crypto world, more honest than any technical analysis.

It's so real... I felt the moment when it dropped from 110,000 to 50,000.

Damn, this is exactly how I felt last week... From 10,000 to 110,000 and then down to 50,000, it felt like riding a roller coaster. When it came down, I was completely drained.

Wake up, buddy, this is just a gambler's confession. That’s too harsh... I was exactly eaten up like that. The permanent dopamine boost is real, now I can earn a few thousand bucks casually and not feel anything. Reading this article, it feels like someone installed a camera inside my brain. I knew it, the real opponent is never the market maker, but my own greed. I’ve experienced the moment when 110,000 drops to 50,000, and I still shiver when I think about it. After playing in the crypto world for so long, the scariest thing isn't the moment of liquidation, but the despair after waking up. Your account name is Survivor, I believe it. Another story of having your brain harvested.

Really, this is the full depiction of the dopamine trap... That illusory feeling of 110,000 yuan will truly permanently change neural circuits. The most terrifying thing after losing 50,000 yuan is not the account balance, but that inescapable voice saying "It should have been 1.1 million." That moment when your fingers itch at 3 a.m. hit a nerve—this is not trading, it's addiction. So in the end, you still have to recognize—what the market makers are harvesting is not money, but your obsession with "almost." I think the psychological analysis in this article is more impactful than any technical analysis. It's just the psychology of gamblers, only in a different trading platform shell. Seeing the line "Rational analysis has become a luxury" makes me a bit uncomfortable... This is why most people end up in a negative-sum game. The problem is, even those who understand these truths will still press that button at 3 a.m.—that's the most despairing part. This article should have a warning sticker on the homepage of trading software.

this is literally the dopamine addiction feedback loop encoded into price discovery mechanisms... the algorithmic harvesting of retail psychology masquerading as "market efficiency." fascinating how the narrative structure mirrors generative loss sequences

This is the gambler's mentality, nothing new --- Dopamine perpetual motion machine, can't stop --- 11K illusions pull back to 5K reality, truly brilliant --- Almost wealth freedom is more toxic than liquidation --- The midnight 3AM itch on my fingers really hits home --- Basically, it's being kidnapped by the screen --- Wait a minute, isn't this just a reflection of me last night --- The house's way of harvesting brains without taking money, this is top notch --- Rational analysis has become a luxury item, so true --- Always feel like the next trade can turn things around, just so addictive --- That last question woke me up; I'm still waiting
