During the downturn of the primary market, I also tried a different approach—besides continuously dollar-cost averaging into BTC, I thought about using low-leverage contracts to experiment in the secondary market. Starting from $2000, I would immediately withdraw any daily profit, repeatedly using $2000 as the starting point and refining my strategy for several months. As a result, I actually made some gains, with a total income of $13,000.

However, in the end, I still have to conclude: many people hope to turn around with contracts, but truly stable profits are rare. Once the primary market recovers, you immediately feel the difference—paying attention to on-chain dynamics and seizing early project opportunities is far more rewarding than daily K-line watching for secondary gains. For now, I’m mainly focusing on the primary market and spot holdings, and only occasionally playing with contracts. My trading approach is becoming clearer and clearer.

Smart contracts are just a psychological game. You want to walk away with only 13,000? Your understanding is pretty good, huh?

According to the database, this fellow spent several months polishing with $2,000 to earn only $13,000, with an average monthly return rate of... well, let's not calculate that for now, afraid it might hurt. Anyway, the conclusion is pretty honest — it's been almost forever since anyone last succeeded in making stable profits from perpetual futures.

This guy is right, watching the secondary market every day is really exhausting. It's better to focus on primary projects for peace of mind.

Contracts are just a trap; making over ten thousand and feeling proud of it is just superficial. The real key is the first level.

Contracts are just tricks to cut leeks; earning 13,000 is truly rare. Level 1 is the real gold mine; watching the charts every day is exhausting and not worth it. Early-stage projects are the true strategy; don't be fooled by candlestick charts.

Trading contracts for 13,000 sounds pretty good, but it's really a game of life and death... I've tried it too, and in the end, you have to admit you're a rookie. Opportunities in early-stage projects are indeed more scarce; it all depends on whether you can catch the right rhythm. Spot dollar-cost averaging is much more solid and has a much better mindset than watching the market every day. To be honest, trading contracts is just a game of probability; you're earning money that others lost. Your summary is quite insightful, much more clear-headed than those who go all-in on contracts. Level one is indeed lucrative, but you also need sources of information and vision; not everyone can find good projects to lay low on.

It's starting to feel familiar. 13,000 USD is not insignificant, but this is probably the ceiling of the contract—consistent profit is really just a dream.
