In on-chain perpetual contracts and prediction markets, there is a neglected bottom line — never let yourself fall into a gambler's mentality.

Honestly, if you lack self-control, it's better not to get involved early. This is not humility; it's seriousness.

If you want to live longer, the solution is actually very straightforward. The first is to use strategies to control the cost of each operation; don't go all-in right away. The second, more critical point — you must have a hedging plan in place, so even if your judgment fails, your principal won't be completely lost.

You'll see various big players sharing their wins in communities: "I earned so many points this round, and made so much U." It sounds tempting, but don't rush to envy. These stories are selective; no one will come out and say, "I got liquidated completely that time." When luck turns against them, they might be crying the hardest.

The market always tests your mindset, not just your judgment.
