People who short cryptocurrencies like RIVER, to be honest, mostly can't withstand the rate battle. I am a bloody example myself. Last night, I couldn't bear the holding costs and was forced to lock in my position for self-rescue. Turning to tonight, I plan to unlock my long position at the $21 level to turn things around. But what happened? The coin price stubbornly pushed upward, and with just over $1 left before liquidation, I was extremely nervous. In the end, I chose to lock again, and my position was saved. But here's the problem—my current position is like a dead knot, wrapped around my neck, and I can't move at all. This is the real situation for many contract traders: not because of market education, but because the fee mechanism in the system gradually wears them down.

Fees are really outrageous, they can ruin you financially.

Fees are just invisible scythes, my blood and tears story.

funding rates are basically a slow bleed mechanism... watched too many traders get liquidated not by price action but by pure attrition. the real enemy isn't the chart, it's the fee structure grinding you down tick by tick. locking positions just postpones the inevitable honestly.

Fees really kill more than the decline itself. Just by looking at your operation, I already know the outcome.

Fee killers, even more ruthless than liquidations. I've told people long ago, avoid trading these small tokens in derivatives trading; the mechanism is inherently designed to trap retail investors.

Fees are really the invisible killer. Looking at your recent moves, you're indeed trapped. Locking up assets for self-rescue ended up becoming a permanent trap—so heartbreaking.

Fees are just a trap, gradually tying people down step by step.

Contract fee rates are truly a slow-acting poison. Just look at your experience; instead of self-rescue through locking, you've ended up locking yourself in.

Fees are truly an invisible scythe, cutting people off guard without warning.
