#以太坊大户持仓变化 Once you've entered the crypto world, stop fooling yourself. You say you're here to hold coins long-term and gradually get rich—really?
I've thought the same way. But the reality is: most people simply can't endure. With little capital, you have to rely on time to grind; if you miss a bull market, you might have to wait years for another opportunity; if a project fails, the team disbands, and the coin price drops to zero. If you can keep a steady mindset, your account may not be able to stick with you.
Later, I turned to contract trading, not for excitement, but for efficiency. Opening positions on mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, whether right or wrong, the market feedback is super fast; if you judge incorrectly, stop-loss is stop-loss, and the loss is clear and controllable. Perpetual contracts have low barriers and quick feedback, allowing retail traders to trade in sync with big funds for the first time. Without these derivatives, the crypto market wouldn't have grown to its current scale.
But the premise is crucial: only trade mainstream coins.
Shitcoin contracts basically have one path—zero. Holding trash coins to go long, in plain terms, is setting a landmine for yourself; when the project withdraws, the gap appears. All technical analysis and risk control logic are虚. This isn't a problem with contracts; it's that you've chosen the wrong track. No one forces you to gamble with 100x leverage on air.
I've also been liquidated before. That time, I understood: the problem has never been the tool itself, but the person. Greed, blind confidence, refusing to cut losses—these are the real culprits. Few people can truly make real money, but those who survive do one thing regardless of whether they trade spot or contracts: they bet where there's consensus, strictly control risks within a cage.
Contracts are like a mirror; for ordinary people, they are both an amplifier and a microscope. On mainstream coins, they can improve efficiency; on trash coins, they will make you die even worse. Tools don't harm people; what can be deadly is that heart that wants to get rich overnight, refuses to learn patiently, and stubbornly refuses to follow discipline.
Finally, I ask you one question: when you enter this market, are you trading or gambling?
If you can't figure out this question, the outcome will be the same wherever you go.
