Is this what they call beginner’s luck?



I work in e-commerce, and after clearing out my inventory, I’ve had some free time. One day, I saw an ad for an exchange while scrolling through short videos, so I downloaded an app to give it a try. At first, I threw in 150 bucks but didn’t find it interesting, so I bumped it up to 1000.

Today was my first time trying contracts. I messed around with leverage and clicked randomly without really understanding, but somehow I didn’t get liquidated? Even I can’t believe my luck.

Yesterday I got into LUNC too early… If I’d held for one more day, I’d have made a killing. Oh well, I’m a newbie after all, so I’ll just treat myself to a pork knuckle rice to celebrate keeping my principal.

Guys, is this really just a beginner’s protection period?

Haha, beginners really do have a protection period, I believe it now. --- Something's off, I didn't blow up even though I was clueless? What is the market hinting at? --- That LUNC trade was a bit unfortunate, but don't get greedy, bro. --- Switching from e-commerce to contracts, that's quite a leap. --- Braised pork rice is definitely worth it—protecting your principal is already a win. --- Wait, do you really understand what leverage means? Money earned like this is risky. --- Don't trust the beginner's luck thing; sooner or later you'll have to pay for it. --- You went from 150 to 1000 and already dare to play contracts? I really admire your guts.

Bro, this is a classic case of survivor bias. Just wait and you'll see what a real bloodbath looks like. Stay calm, don't let this wave of luck get to your head. Nine out of ten leveraged players get liquidated. About that LUNC thing—if you can't get the grapes, don't worry about them. Coming out alive is the real win. Newbie protection period? Bro, you must be joking. There's no protection period in crypto, only a period for getting rekt. It's just 1,000 yuan and you're already floating. Talk to me when your principal doubles.

Haha, this is what they call survivor bias. You'll understand after you play a few more rounds.

Haha, that's just the gambler's mentality. Sooner or later, you'll have to give it all back.

Haha, really? You start getting cocky just because you didn't get liquidated once? You'll have to pay it back sooner or later, bro. Don't rely too much on this streak of luck. That's how contracts lure in newbies—they let you taste a bit of profit first. This is just the beginning, the real harvesting of retail investors comes later. That LUNC wave was indeed a pity, but taking profit is still making money, don't regret it. I've been through this too; protecting your principal is the most important thing. Don't celebrate too soon—the real test is when the market moves against you, then you'll know.

Haha, don’t get cocky. This is just the newbie honeymoon phase for the retail investor harvester.

Don't get addicted. When I first started playing, I didn't understand it. I put in my full capital of 2000 and in just a few seconds made 800 bucks, feeling so happy. Now I've lost so much I don't even have my underwear left.
