Recent trades have made me reevaluate my strategy. The wave of signals directly caused a loss of 20,000, and the account profit dropped from 90,000 to 70,000. Over the past two months, I’ve made quite a bit of profit, and there’s still 200,000 lying on the chain. Theoretically, as long as I keep going, I should be able to recover the losses.

But thinking carefully, continuing to play doesn’t make much sense anymore. It’s like a transparent card game—everyone can see your hole cards, and every time you try to bluff, your opponents are well aware. In such an environment, technical advantages gradually fade, and mindset becomes the biggest enemy.

Instead of stubbornly fighting the contract market, it’s better to walk away with the profits already gained. There are too many other things in life worth focusing on, and there’s no need to keep wasting time in a place where profits are becoming increasingly hard to come by. I’ve made my decision this time—no more contract trading, it’s time to do other things.

True wisdom is knowing when to stop, this guy has realized it. --- Losing 20,000 before waking up is much luckier than only realizing after losing 200,000. --- The analogy of transparent poker is perfect—the market is like that—no matter how strong the technology, it can't beat human nature. --- Lying on the chain with 200,000 and still wanting to turn the tide—this mindset is the real killer. --- Contracts are zero-sum games; someone makes money, someone loses, and most end up as bagholders. --- Cutting losses in time is not giving up; it's the clearest decision. --- Don't talk about how continuing will definitely make up for losses; the market never guarantees anything. --- In essence, the market is becoming more competitive, and your advantage is fading. --- It's rare to see someone learn this from losses; most people just keep fighting until liquidation. --- Walking away with the fruits of your labor is much more realistic than doubling your dreams and then zeroing out.

Bro, your awareness is really on point. Spending 20,000 yuan on tuition to get a clear head is not a loss. Retreating intact is the move of a top player. Those who keep going all-in will end up getting cut. Take that 200,000 on the chain and do something meaningful. Living a more fulfilling life than just staring at K-line charts every day.

Bro, your comprehension this time is really on point, waking up earlier than most people. Honestly, mindset is the hardest part of making money, technical skills are secondary. Decisively withdrawing completely is the winning mentality. Isn't it more profitable to just leave the 200,000 on the chain and earn some yield? Why bother repeatedly messing around in the contract? This is what is called leaving the track alive, I get it.

Bro, you've really woken up this time. Cutting losses early is the real way to make money. Honestly, losing 20,000 yuan was worth it, as it saved a few years of detours. But on the other hand, does 200,000 tokens just sit on the chain and do nothing? That's how contracts are. When the market becomes transparent, no one can really make money. It's quite difficult to exit rationally; if you can do it, you're already ahead of most. Wait, are you really quitting or just thinking it over? Don't get caught up again, brother. Instead of getting tangled up, it's better to focus your energy on what you can control. This decision sounds very clear-headed; I have to give you a thumbs up.

Oh, this realization came a bit late, but at least you haven't gone all-in yet. Those who have overplayed know that in the end, it's all about mindset; skills are useless. I think you'll be smart to withdraw this time, better than most people.

Gambler's reflections on quitting gambling, it’s clear that they have truly reflected. But with 200,000 still lying on the chain, can they really resist the temptation and stay out of the market?

Haha, you're right. Making money and then running is the truth. --- The analogy of a transparent game is excellent. Things are really intense now. --- Two thousand yuan in tuition to gain clarity, it's worth it. --- Hey, but is that 200,000 on the chain really just sitting there? --- I just want to know how long it takes to truly kick the contract addiction. --- This realization comes a bit late. If I had thought this way earlier, I wouldn't have lost so much. --- It's easy to say "walk away with full recovery," but it's hard to do. --- Instead of staring at the market every day, it's better to go to the gym. Honestly. --- The account dropped from 90,000 to 70,000. This time, it's really time to reflect.

This realization came a bit late, but it's indeed time to stop. I only understood after losing money; having a shattered mindset is even more painful than losing money.
