In recent years, the exposure of ordinary people to digital assets has long surpassed most people's understanding. It is no longer a fringe topic like a few years ago, and stories of people suffering heavy losses are now everywhere around us. Last year, it was still a relatively unfamiliar subject, but now it has become a common topic of casual conversation.

Strangely, those who seem the most conservative often have an app from a certain exchange hidden on their phones. Grandparents, office workers, students—people of all ages. On the surface, they keep quiet about it, but behind the scenes, they are watching the K-line charts.

The entry cost for this market is arguably ridiculously low. You can start trading with just around a hundred yuan, yet online voices hype up the profit ceiling to the sky. This combination is highly tempting for anyone, especially when under economic pressure, always thinking about turning things around with a single shot.

But here, I must be frank: participating requires much more caution. If you try a small amount and end up losing everything, in a way, that might be fortunate—at least it can completely dispel the illusion and allow for timely stop-loss.

The real danger lies elsewhere. The main risk is tasting a bit of sweetness. Even if a small investment yields several times the return, your mindset begins to change. You start to think you have this talent, regret having been too conservative at the start, and then gradually increase your investment. Once this psychological turning point occurs, in most cases, it signals the beginning of a series of losses.

Ultimately, these assets have no intrinsic value; their prices fluctuate entirely based on market sentiment and manipulator operations. The final outcome is often a harvest for the few who are skilled, while most retail investors become cannon fodder.
