Why do so many people play contracts knowing they might get liquidated?

In a nutshell: The returns are too tempting, the speed is too fast, and even with high risks, some dare to gamble.

For example, if you earn 10,000 yuan a month in real life, it's hard and slow. But in the cryptocurrency contract world—

With 10,000 yuan as principal and using 100x leverage, if the market fluctuates by just 1%, you can earn 10,000 yuan in one minute, and fluctuations of 1-2% in the crypto space are all too common.

Whether it’s PEPE, ETH, or even BTC, when emotions shift, moving up or down by three to five points feels like riding an elevator.

In extreme market conditions, contracts are not just speculation; they are a raw casino.

What truly gets people hooked on contracts is the “compound interest illusion”:

Turning 10,000 into 20,000 is 100%,

Turning 20,000 into 40,000 is still 100%,

4 becomes 8, 8 becomes 16…

You think it's regular growth, but in reality, wealth is exponentially multiplying.

If you use 100,000 yuan for spot trading, making 1% means earning 1,000 yuan,

But if I open a 100x contract, with a 1% fluctuation, I make 100,000 yuan.

In the same market trend, the difference in returns is a whole order of magnitude.

But many overlook another fact:

Those who truly earn steadily don’t just have one account; they manage risk by trading in segments while holding core positions to follow trends.

You see them multiplying small positions by dozens, but behind it, there are large positions providing steady support.

Big profits rely on luck, but survival relies on strategy.

At the end of last month, I took a small account from 100U to 3000U, not by chance, but by waiting for the right rhythm, seizing positions, and strictly taking profits and losses.

Be quick when necessary and steady when needed.

If you also want to walk the contract path but don’t want to rely solely on feelings or luck,

you can come and chat — I’ll share a set of methods for “surviving long and earning steadily.”

Not boasting about getting rich quickly, just discussing real market logic.
