A crypto trader who wants to return to a normal life, it’s actually not that easy.
I have a friend who, when he first got into the crypto space, just tried it out by trading futures on a whim. As it turned out, his luck was good—within two days he turned 1,500U into 80kU.
In that moment, he really felt like he’d found a shortcut to make money, believing that financial freedom was only one step away.
But the real problem started right from then.
Later, he went all-in, kept doubling down, and refused to cut losses, always thinking he could make another windfall. In the end, his account kept shrinking from 80kU down to just a few hundred U.
At that point, he should have stopped. But he couldn’t stop.
The first thing he does every day after waking up is check the market. He eats while watching the candlestick chart, and before going to bed he studies price movements. He says, “I won’t touch futures anymore,” but the moment there’s any fluctuation, he still can’t resist jumping in.
In the end, it’s not that he’s just extremely greedy—after tasting the feeling of “fast money,” the brain is very likely to be hijacked by that kind of stimulation.
The biggest temptation of futures is that it can amplify gains in a very short time, but it amplifies losses just as much. If you get the direction wrong once, profits from a few months or even years can instantly go to zero.
Compared with stocks, crypto markets are more volatile. It’s common for prices to swing by dozens of points within a day. This kind of fast feedback easily creates a delusion: if I do it one more time, I can get back to even.
But reality is often that before you even have a chance to turn things around, your account has already been wiped out by the market.
Many people ultimately lose not because of their technical skills, but because of their timing.
The more you want to get back to even, the more impulsive you become; the more impulsive you are, the faster you lose.
Remember this: the market won’t turn around because you’re unwilling to accept it, and it won’t show restraint because you’re persistent.
Real maturity in trading isn’t about rushing in every time—it’s knowing when to stop and when to patiently wait for opportunities. Only by keeping yourself under control can you go further in this market.
