I heard a story from a friend that really hit home. He needed to add margin and asked his wife for money, but she refused. He was so angry he couldn’t find a place to vent, so he smashed things at home. Later, his wife didn’t think much and went back to her parents’ house. The next day, she handed him a divorce agreement. Both of them knew exactly what the situation was, so there was nothing to say, and they signed it directly.

This story is quite common in the crypto circle. Thinking about it carefully, traders are indeed prone to falling into a strange cycle — when the market fluctuates, their mentality spirals out of control; when their mentality is out of control, their family also suffers. The mindset of leveraging, chasing margins, and going all-in to turn things around, when applied to life, becomes a gambler’s mentality. In the eyes of family members, your money is no longer just money; it’s a chip that ties the whole family together. Once losses reach a certain critical point, trust completely collapses. That’s why the divorce rate in the crypto world is indeed higher than in other industries — frankly, the trading profession itself carries high pressure and high risk, and this pressure ultimately weighs on those around them.
