#数字资产市场动态 Contract trading is more addictive than anything else. You'll hear many people complain, "This is a meat grinder," but then turn around and can't resist jumping in again and again.

Honestly, people aren't really afraid of losing money; what they fear is missing out on the chance of sudden wealth.

$PIPPIN Think about it: working a normal 9-9-6 job, exhausted, earning only 10,000 yuan a month. But in the futures market, investing the same 10,000 yuan, with the market moving slightly, within a few minutes, your account can double, completely surpassing what you earn in a month of real-world labor.

$ACT The volatility of the crypto market is unbelievable. Price can shift several points in just a few seconds. Small-cap coins are even more exaggerated—one K-line surge can make you question life. Even Bitcoin, the "old stable" coin, can suddenly plunge due to market sentiment, unpredictable and wild.

$ZBT But what really gets people hooked isn't just the market moves, but the thrill of multiple-fold gains.

Making money once might be luck, but if you do it several times, you'll start to gain confidence, feeling like you've discovered some pattern. When spot prices fluctuate, your account might just shake a little. In futures, with the same market movements, your funds can grow exponentially. That's the difference.

That's also why, despite knowing the risks, some people insist on playing. Some treat it as a tool, trading steadily with small positions; others hold onto the dream of turning their fortunes around, risking everything they have.

Honestly, there's nothing inherently evil about futures trading. The real danger is treating it like gambling.

If you can control your positions, set stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance, and see it as an amplifier rather than a life-saving straw, it’s just a sharp tool. But once you fall into the "one more time" mentality, no matter how the market helps you, the final outcome is always giving back all your gains and even losing your principal.

Why is futures trading so addictive? Because quick money is really too close to you.
