You’re the Product: The Dark Design of Crypto Futures
You're not trading in a market. You're feeding a machine. Every move you make—every order, hesitation, and twitch—is data. It’s harvested, modeled, and weaponized against you by a system trained not to compete, but to dissect. What looks like a price chart is really a trap, baited with volatility and cloaked in noise. You're not analyzing patterns. You're being analyzed.
The leverage they offer isn't opportunity—it's a pressure point. 50x isn’t a feature; it’s a fuse wired to blow the moment you react. And the market doesn’t move on supply and demand—it moves when they make it move. Liquidity is fabricated. Depth is a theatrical set. The order book is a mirage built to provoke reflexes, not price discovery.
Crypto futures aren’t built to reward insight—they’re engineered to monetize behavior. The system doesn't redistribute value—it extracts it. And the moment you click "open position," you're already in the harvest cycle. They don't profit when you win. They profit when you stay—chasing, adjusting, drowning.
This isn’t trading. It’s a behavioral experiment in financial form. And you’re not the participant. You’re the product.
