Contracts liquidate every day—why do people still rush in? Last night I also saw another liquidation screenshot: 500k USDT, gone to zero in one second. In the comments, it was all: “Contracts are just gambling, you deserve it.” $ETH

Honestly, I used to think the same. But later I started doing contracts myself, and I realized one thing: the people who get liquidated are gambling, while the people who make money are keeping score. On the surface, both are playing contracts, but in reality it’s not the same game at all. $SNDK
A lot of people don’t even understand what leverage really is. If you have a $10k USDT account, you can only lose 500 USDT before you get liquidated—yet you open a position of 30k USDT. You look at the chart and it says “5x,” and you feel pretty safe, thinking the risk isn’t big.
So what’s really happening? Your real leverage is 60x. You’re using 60x of your capital to bet on a 1% move. This isn’t trading—it’s like standing at the edge of a cliff with your eyes closed and jumping forward. And you don’t even know that the ground under you is a cliff. Then what are the people who truly make money with contracts doing? $ZEC
I know a friend who’s been doing this for five or six years. His daily routine really impresses me. He watches the market for four hours a day; the rest of the time, he just does what he’s supposed to do. I asked him: if you don’t watch the screen all the time, aren’t you afraid of missing the move? He said: most of the time, the best action is not to act.
He told me something, and I’ve remembered it to this day: every cent you make is money that someone else got liquidated to give up. The market itself doesn’t create money—it only redistributes it. If you want to take money out of someone else’s pocket, you need to have an edge over them, right? Is it that your information is faster? Or that you can hold on better?
Neither. The only advantage is that you can wait better than others, and you’re more willing to cut.
His rules are also very simple: in each trade, the stop loss can’t exceed 5% of the principal. But take profit must start at at least twice the stop loss. So even if he’s wrong twice, as long as he’s right once, overall he doesn’t lose.
A lot of people do contracts—make 20% and take profit quickly, lose 20% and stubbornly hold. He’s the opposite—if he’s wrong, he leaves immediately; if he’s right, he holds on to the bitter end.
That’s the difference.
Contracts themselves have nothing wrong. What’s wrong is you treating it like a casino. In a casino, the house always has a probability advantage—you lose more the longer you play. But trading isn’t like that. In trading, you can choose not to act—you can wait for the moment that’s most favorable for you before entering.
You get liquidated because you’re gambling. We make money because we’re doing the math.
