Honestly, for those addicted to contracts and short-term trading, returning to a normal life is as difficult as climbing to the sky. I know a guy who put in 1500U to test the waters, and in two days his account skyrocketed to 40,000U. At that point, he was completely floating, truly thinking he was chosen by heaven. And then? He doubled down and held on stubbornly, losing a few hundred dollars bit by bit from 40,000U. He fell into it—staying up all night watching the charts, saying "This broken market, even dogs wouldn’t trade it," but when the market moved, he rushed in faster than anyone else.

The only thing that makes contracts so tempting is one word: speed. With leverage of dozens of times, the speed of capital gains and losses is much more exciting than any gambling game. Once you've experienced the feeling of earning what would take someone a year in just a few minutes, your brain is completely hijacked. You can never go back to the slow wealth accumulation in the real world. It’s not just greed; it’s a deep physiological addiction—a never-waking-up dream of getting rich overnight.

This addiction comes from the perfect storm of extreme volatility in the crypto market combined with high-leverage tools. It amplifies human greed and fear infinitely, turning trading into a life-and-death gamble measured in seconds. Most participants’ outcomes are not turning things around but being completely consumed by the market in the illusion of "just one more try to recover." Besides creating a few lucky winners and countless bankruptcy stories, this pattern has almost no constructive value for the industry’s development.

Meanwhile, another group within the crypto ecosystem is moving away from this "casino," quietly building a new, stable financial system. Through DeFi protocols and structured financial products, they are exploring a completely different path—replacing impulsive gambling with systematic strategies.
