After five contract liquidations, I hid in the safe harbor of U.S. stocks

I’ve been liquidated five times in the crypto world already. Contracts with 20x leverage—every time I got liquidated, I said, “That’s enough, I’m not playing anymore,” and then I started again next time. In the end, there was less and less BTC in my account, less and less U, and the only thing that increased was screenshots of my liquidation records.

After the sixth liquidation, I completely stopped playing. I transferred all the remaining USDT into Gate’s wealth management products to earn interest.

After more than a month to calm down, when I saw that Gate could buy U.S. stocks, I tried it. The first time I bought NVDA, I tapped the market order—0.01 shares. In the instant it was filled, I felt a particularly complicated mix of emotions in my heart: this isn’t a contract. It’s real, real stocks. No wicks, no going to zero, no need to set stop-losses.

From that day on, I haven’t touched contracts again. Every day I check NVDA’s price—happy when it goes up, and I don’t feel much even when it falls, because it’s only 0.01 shares, so I can’t lose that much. But the important thing is, I don’t lose sleep anymore. In the past, before going to bed at night, I’d glance at the crypto market; if it dropped, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well all night. Now at night, I open Gate, check my U.S. stock positions, put my phone away, and go to sleep.

Contracts aren’t suitable for ordinary people. This isn’t a problem with your skills—it’s a problem with the mechanism. You can never always win. Gate helped me find a trading rhythm that fits me better, at extremely small cost.
