#美国终止政府关闭 Why do people still rush into the futures market despite knowing the risk of getting liquidated?



To put it bluntly, it's just two words at play - **illusion of quick profits**.

What is the most fascinating aspect of leveraged trading? Using a margin to leverage dozens of times the capital. With just a slight movement in the market, the figures in your account can multiply several times. Who wouldn't want to experience this thrill of "small capital for big returns"? It seems that financial freedom is just within reach.

More importantly, the volatility in the crypto space is inherently large. In traditional stock markets, when prices drop, you can only watch, but in futures, you can profit even when prices fall! The short-selling mechanism turns every drop into a potential profit opportunity. The news is particularly chaotic; one moment a big player is making a call, and the next a regulator is hinting at something, making retail investors easily fall into the illusion: "I can catch this wave!"

**The bandwagon effect is even scarier**. Social media is full of profit-sharing screenshots—"Made three months' salary in ten minutes last night" "Broke even on one trade, bought a car". After seeing so much, I always feel like I can replicate it, but I selectively ignore those Get Liquidated tears.

But what is the reality? **High leverage is a double-edged sword**. It feels great when you make money, but in the crypto world, there are no price limits, and a single spike can wipe you out in an instant. How many people not only lose their principal but also owe money to the platform... This game is essentially a probability trap, where nine out of ten people are just giving money to the market.

If you really want to get involved, remember a few hard rules: **Don't use living expenses**, **Don't go all in**, **Don't fantasize about a comeback**. Control your position with money you can afford to lose, so you won't be dragged into the mire by the market. Those who want to get rich by luck often end up unable to preserve their principal.
