Recently, I came across a viral article claiming that someone made a fortune from contracts, going from 20,000 to 20 million, and even stating ‘the fourth 10 million only took 5 days.’
Many people get excited, but I must remind you: this type of content is extremely risky and should not be blindly trusted.
Let's break down its tactics.
1. You need to be especially careful of these traps:
1. The story is exciting, but there is no real evidence.
‘Turning 100 times in a few months’ sounds impressive, but the article lacks real trading data, screenshots, or on-chain records, relying solely on word of mouth.
Such successful cases are mostly ‘post-summary + survivor bias.’
2. Using theoretical compound interest to deceive people about actual operational returns.
What ‘20,000 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4’—this is an ideal model. In the actual market, consecutive doubling is nearly impossible; even if you get it right three times, a fourth failure will bring you back to square one.
3. Emphasizing high leverage, inducing you to increase your position aggressively.
The article frequently mentions ‘10x leverage’ and ‘one shot to take down the whole field,’ which is very dangerous in reality.
With 300U of capital using 10x leverage, if the market fluctuates by 10%, you will be liquidated to zero.
4. Packaged like a system, but actually has no boundaries.
What ‘three-dimensional matrix strategy’ and ‘guaranteed stop-loss system,’ sounds plausible, but there are no rule details, no backtesting data, and no actual validation; it's all just talk.
2. Essentially, this is a type of ‘crypto-induced content marketing.’
Such content often has the following characteristics:
Attracting attention through ‘getting rich myths.’
Constructing a ‘seemingly logical’ operating system by stacking terminology.
The ultimate goal is not teaching, but guiding you:
Join groups, report courses, enter communities, or buy so-called ‘signal services.’
These tactics have long been exhausted in ‘stock short masters,’ ‘forex leverage live trading,’ and ‘AI automated trading systems’; now they are just dressed in a crypto skin.
3. What should you do?
1. Be aware of contract risks.
Don't be blinded by ‘high returns.’ The essence of contracts is a zero-sum game, and the vast majority of people are being liquidated.
It's recommended that beginners avoid leverage, or at most simulate with 1-2x.
2. If you really want to do it, first treat 300U as tuition.
Don't expect to get rich with 300U, start with small trades, keep a trading journal, accumulate market feel, and staying alive is more important than anything.
3. Build your own trading cognition.
Don't copy others' strategies; first understand market structure, capital management, and risk control—those are the real skills.
Every myth of making a fortune you see may be hiding thousands of liquidated accounts behind it.
Don't mistake fantasy for a goal, and don't let the so-called ‘guaranteed profit systems’ brainwash you.
You think you are looking for ways to make money, but what others are eyeing is your capital.
