People who have been trading cryptocurrencies to the point of losing control, can they return to normal life? To be honest: it's almost impossible to go back.


I know a guy who originally just played around with some spare money, and when the market was good, he turned $3,000 into over $60k in a week.
At that time, he was walking on air, feeling like he finally found the right path.
But what happened next? He started holding large positions, adding to them against the trend, stubbornly holding on, and that $60k quickly shrank back to a few hundred dollars.
Losing money isn't the worst part; the most dangerous thing is that he completely lost his mind.
Since then, he’d wake up in the morning watching the charts, and at night he’d still be thinking about candlesticks.
He could skip meals, but he couldn’t stop watching the market.
He’d say contracts are poison, but whenever there was a slight movement, he couldn’t help but jump in.
The most terrifying thing about leverage is how fast the feedback is.
Doubling your money in a day feels so easy to get addicted to.
Once you've tasted that thrill, your brain just can't forget it.
People who lose money always think they can get it back with one more try, but the market never follows the script you imagine.
What destroys a person is never the loss itself, but the illusion of quick wealth.
The faster the money seems to come, the deeper the trap.
Being able to control yourself and suppress greed is the hardest part of this game.
If you also feel like you're starting to lose control, stop early—don't wait until you can't stop.
No gambling.

The most critical stage is from 3,000 to 60k. Not taking profits is the beginning of a mindset collapse; many people get wiped out at this point.

The scariest thing is that kind of thought of "almost breaking even," which can drag people into an endless abyss—I’ve seen it too many times.

My buddy is still watching the market at 3 a.m., half his hair has fallen out, his wife wants a divorce, and he says to wait a bit longer for this bull market.

Indeed, after experiencing the feeling of earnings doubling in a single day, an ordinary job’s monthly salary suddenly loses its appeal.
