#BTC Why is the liquidation rate in the crypto market 99%, yet people are still desperately throwing money in?

"Do you think low leverage is safe? Wrong!
90% of people can't even calculate their 'real leverage'!"
You're not really losing to the market; you're losing to yourself.
Every day, countless traders get liquidated, but why do some still keep going all in? Because—the ones who get liquidated are fueling the profits of those who are making money.
Leverage is not what you think it is.
The "5x" or "10x" shown by exchanges are just risk control indicators for the platform, not related to your actual risk!
Real leverage = Your position size / Your stop-loss funds.
For example, if you have $10,000 and open a 10x position but set a $100 stop-loss, your real leverage is actually 100x!
90% of people fall into these three traps:
- "Anti-liquidation" (trying to avoid being liquidated)
- "All-in" (going all-in on a trade)
- "Emotional adding" (adding to positions based on emotions)
— Your liquidation happens because you gave the market the opportunity to kill you.
Futures trading isn't investing; it's a "zombie collection" game.
Question: Whose money do you make when trading futures?
Answer: The money of those who get liquidated!
Bull market? Bear market? Not important!
Whether the market goes up or down, you can make money—what matters is whether you survive until the "money-collecting moment."
Bull market: Retail traders FOMO and chase the highs, going short at the top.
Bear market: Retail traders panic and sell at a loss, buying the dip at the bottom.
"Risk managers" vs. "Dreamers"
Dreamers: "This coin can rise 100x! Go all in!" (Ends up liquidated)
Risk managers: "This position has a 3:1 risk-reward ratio, try 5% of your capital, with clear stop-loss." (Survive and wait for opportunities)
Professional traders' secret:
"80% of the time, stay out of the market; 20% of the time, pick up profits."
— You're not here to trade; you're here to wait for others to make mistakes.
Even with the same strategy, 80% of people still lose—because of human nature.
"If you can't control your risk, don't trade futures—otherwise, you're just a 'corpse' in someone else's eyes."
If you really want to make money, learn to avoid getting liquidated first.
Otherwise, you'll always be someone else's ATM.
The more chaotic the market,
the more you should avoid reckless trading!
