Turning into a small alley with mottled walls, a familiar yet strange figure collided with me; I froze for three seconds before recognizing: it was Little Flower Brother! When he was a child, he was tall and slender, holding warm soy milk standing in the morning light, with morning mist on his eyelashes, and the affection in his eyes could wrap around a person; but now, his face is a waxy yellow like a withered orange, his eye sockets sunken, and the youthful spirit from before has been crushed by an unshakable fatigue, transforming him into a completely different person.
In casual conversation, I learned that his family has faced a series of changes in recent years: his father suddenly passed away, his mother is bedridden, and he has a younger sister just starting elementary school to support. The heavy burden of life has him running around, and after hearing that I have been navigating the digital asset field for eight years, he hesitated for a long time before speaking, wanting to enter the industry to support this family.
'How much do you understand about this industry?' I asked. He lowered his head, fiddling with the corner of his clothes in silence, which was more heartbreaking than saying 'I know nothing.'
As an analyst who has seen too many newcomers fall into pitfalls and has helped many people stabilize their footing, I didn't dare to paint a grand vision for him; I only broke down the most essential foundation and explained it thoroughly — this is also what I've always emphasized to my fans as 'life-saving essentials':
The capital adjustment mechanism of perpetual products: This is the 'invisible weight' that balances spot and perpetual; positive and negative numbers correspond to the tilt of long and short forces, automatically settling every 8 hours. Beginners, don't focus on this frequent operation; it is not a signal for making money, just the market's 'adjustment leverage.' Following blindly can easily lead to a misalignment in rhythm;
The pitfalls of leverage and transaction fees: Leverage is definitely a 'deadly trap' for beginners! In the range of 1-125 times, profit and risk are tied together as comrades — if you want to double with 20 times leverage, the market dares to let you go to zero overnight. I've seen too many people take on leverage with a 'let's gamble' mindset, only to be left with nothing; and the transaction fees, active trading (taking orders) at 0.15%, and placing orders at 0.12%, may seem insignificant, but with high-frequency trading, half of your profits can be swallowed in just half a month; this is the 'invisible cost' that beginners are most likely to overlook;
The iron law of liquidation and stop-loss: Liquidation means the account's funds are forcibly cleared by the market, which is no different from being pressed into the ground. Once the strong liquidation line is reached, there is no room for recovery. So, stop-loss is not 'cowardice,' it's 'life-saving'! After eight years in this field, I've seen countless people who made a lot of money ultimately fall because they 'didn't stop-loss.' Setting a stop-loss, even if you make a wrong judgment, allows you to leave a way out; it's much better than losing everything.
Here I must state my core viewpoint: The digital asset market has never been about 'gambling on size'; it's a triple game of cognition, mentality, and discipline. Little Flower Brother wants to support his family through this industry; I can empathize, but one must not be hasty — those shouting 'get rich overnight' are either the scythes harvesting newcomers or the chives soon to be harvested.
Who hasn't felt confused? Who doesn't want to earn a bit more in a reliable way? But the market doesn't nurture those who seek quick success; it only favors those who understand the rules and can settle down. I've seen too many people rush into the market with a 'desperate' mindset, only to make matters worse; I've also seen many start from scratch, steadily following the rhythm, and slowly doubling their income.
If you, like Little Flower Brother, want to find a reliable path in the digital asset field, don't panic or get flustered! Follow me, and I will break down the 3 invisible pitfalls that beginners must avoid, teaching you how to steadily accumulate using low-risk strategies, no fluff, no grand visions, just practical essentials. Follow me, and you won't get lost in the next update; I'll help you fish for gold in the sea of digital assets instead of being washed away by the waves — follow me, reliable essentials are only given to those who follow me!
