Looking at these contract traders really makes me speechless. The funding rate is charged every hour, opening positions casually? How much idle money do you need?

But honestly, this reflects the true dilemma faced by most people. Fear of stepping into a crash when going long, and being repeatedly drained by funding rates when going short, ultimately falling into a strange cycle — feeling uncertain when chasing gains, and being hesitant when selling off. As the market comes wave after wave, your mentality also becomes a roller coaster, with anxiety levels skyrocketing.

The high leverage of contracts is indeed stimulating, but the risks are real. Recently, more and more people are starting to reflect: instead of being tortured by rates and liquidations in contracts, it’s better to return to the spot market. Hold your coins without moving, eat when hungry, sleep when tired, and avoid the mental exhaustion of watching K-lines every day. Maybe this is the right attitude to survive long-term.
