The product logic of trading platforms is worth pondering. Some on-chain trading tools choose not to implement ranking screens or FOMO prevention features, while social media platforms upgrade their financial tags to allow users to view market trends with one click. The seemingly contradictory choices reflect the same underlying business truth: the purpose of a platform has never been to help users avoid risk, but to maximize the removal of emotional and transactional barriers. The more convenient, real-time, and accessible the price fluctuation information, the easier it is for users to generate trading impulses. This is not a design flaw; it is a design goal. From the platform's perspective, whoever can most efficiently convert users' psychological conversion rate into trading volume will hold the discourse power in this race.

Basically, it's the logic of cutting leeks, what are you pretending to be here for? --- The platform doesn't care whether you lose money or not; the real profit is from the fees. --- That's why I never look at those financial tags; as soon as I see them, I get hooked and buy. --- Design goal? Ha, it sounds very noble, but actually it's just to make us trade frequently. --- Really, the more convenient a platform is for checking prices, the more I dare not use it; it's addictive. --- Got it, so the ones who always make money are the exchanges, not the traders. --- But on the other hand, this logic applies to all exchanges, right? No one is a saint. --- Oh my God, I just checked the market with one click yesterday and ended up jumping in again. --- So basically, it's a human nature issue; platforms are just commercializing human weaknesses. --- This is the real truth of blockchain trading; no one talks to you about risk management.

Basically, it's about raising pigs, and the platform is the pigsty. This move is too ruthless, directly using psychology as a weapon. Everyone stop pretending; trading volume is the real boss.

Basically, it's just cutting leeks, packaging trading desire as product features.

Basically, the platform just wants us to trade frequently, the faster the better. Honestly, I've seen through this logic a long time ago, but there's nothing I can do about it. Damn, I got cut again, all because of that damn one-click view. Platforms are all vampires, no exceptions. So we still have to be disciplined, or we're really doomed. Speaking of which, what else can we do as retail investors? That's why I now keep my assets in a cold wallet and stay passive. The weaknesses of human nature are always the best business.
