#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 Have you made any money in the crypto market, or have you just become someone else’s ATM?

There are plenty of opportunities in this space, but very few people can actually seize them. Most retail investors either get rekt, or are on the road to getting rekt. I’ve seen too many people watch their accounts go from green to red, and end up not even getting their principal back.

Today, let’s talk about the types of players most likely to lose so much in crypto that they start questioning life.

**Newbies who open 100x leverage positions right after entering the market**

These people go all-in on contracts from the get-go. If they get lucky and make some money, they immediately think they’re chosen by the gods. The result? Next trade, they get liquidated with no chance to recover. Their logic is simple: go long when it’s bullish, short when it’s bearish, always go all-in. Stop loss? Doesn’t exist. Position management? Never heard of it. Money made by luck will always be lost by skill.

**Small capital players trying to get rich with just a few thousand USDT**

Turning a few thousand USDT into a million? Not impossible, but you need to realize how narrow that path is. Buying spot in the secondary market? Forget it, unless you’re insanely lucky and catch a 100x coin. Those who really flip small capital either got in early on a project or risked it all in the contract market. The problem is, both paths are ridiculously risky. The biggest problem for small capital is impatience—always wanting to go all-in for a comeback, which usually just accelerates going to zero.

**Handout seekers waiting for others to spoon-feed them**

These people don’t learn anything themselves and just wait for others to give them signals. Someone says buy, they buy. Someone says sell, they sell. If they make money, they think they have sharp insight; if they lose, they blame others for bad calls. There are no babysitters in crypto. If you don’t grow, you’ll always get rekt. Even worse, these people have terrible mindsets—get cocky after a small win, lose composure after a small loss. Over time, the mindset collapses and so does the money.

**Stubborn types who only hold altcoins and avoid mainstream coins**

Some people look down on $BTC, $ETH, $XRP and other mainstream coins, thinking the gains are too small and not exciting. They focus exclusively on low-cap altcoins, dreaming of catching the next 1000x coin. Sure, altcoins can pump hard, but they can also dump even harder. Today everyone’s hyping the project’s future, tomorrow you might get a delisting notice from the exchange. If you stubbornly stick to altcoins long-term, your risk tolerance is basically zero. After a bear market, the coins you hold might not even be worth withdrawing.
