Watching my account shrink tenfold, I really felt overwhelmed. The most heartbreaking part is—getting back to break-even actually requires a hundredfold increase. This is the cruelest math problem in spot trading.

To be honest, those who constantly boast "spot trading is stable and risk-free" make me want to roll my eyes. In the face of market declines, no one is indifferent. Spot trading may seem safe, but the risk lurks in every major drop. A tenfold loss is enough to break most people's psychological defenses.

Having experienced such a decline, I realize that the biggest enemy in investing is not the market, but one's own mindset.

A tenfold loss still needs to rise a hundred times to recoup investment. I really can't understand this math. Is Spot stable? Uh... maybe we're not playing the same Spot. It's true that it's tough, but the mindset really needs to be practiced; otherwise, it will still fall next time. Mindset is indeed the biggest enemy, but unfortunately, by the time I realized this, the money was already gone.

A tenfold loss requires a hundredfold gain to break even—that math is truly incredible. --- Spot trading is stable? Laughable, when it comes to losses, everyone gets proven wrong the same way. --- I'm really shaken; I deeply understand that mindset is the biggest killer. --- You're so right. Those who boast about spot trading haven't experienced a real big drop. --- A shattered mindset is the most deadly; it's more terrifying than the decline itself.

Ten times loss is truly incredible; now everything I see is a negative number. To recover the original investment, it needs to rise a hundred times? I choose to give up on this math problem. Spot trading steady? Haha, I just quietly watch my account lie. My mentality has collapsed; the market didn't break my defenses, I did it myself. Those who boast about spot trading probably haven't experienced this kind of despair, it's really hilarious. Basically, it's a gambler's mentality—knowing the odds are small but still forcing yourself to play. Ten times to recover, a hundred times more, it feels like life itself is paying the price for this. Now I just want to know how many people are still holding on, or if everyone has already given up.

Ten times the return, a hundred times the profit—this math problem is incredible, I just can't figure it out. Actually, now I understand what "steady" really means—it's almost funny. My mentality has really collapsed; in front of the market, everyone is the same. You should recognize the risks from the start and not listen to those hype. The worst thing is knowing it's wrong but still continuing—it's really breaking my defenses.
