Recently, I discovered that swapping ZEC to USDC doesn't charge any fees anymore—this feels amazing!

But seriously, I need to talk to all the newbies out there about contracts. A lot of people, just like I did at first, see how exciting contract trading looks and just jump right in. It's true, you can make money insanely fast with contracts, but when you lose, damn, it’s brutal—you can lose all the hard-earned money you just made in an instant if you're not careful.

Last night, I fell into a big trap. There was a sudden spike in the ETH contract market, and I reacted quickly—managed to make back two or three thousand dollars. I felt on top of the world, like a trading genius. But then? I got overexcited and started opening and closing positions like crazy, going all out with my trades.

When I finally calmed down and checked my account, I was stunned. The fees! The damn fees ate it all up! Most of the profits I worked so hard for ended up going straight to the platform. That’s when I realized I wasn’t trading for myself—I was basically working for the exchange, guys 😂

So I seriously urge all you newbies: before trading contracts, make absolutely sure you understand how the fees work! Don’t just get hyped about price swings and jump in—those fees from frequent trading really add up and can be terrifying. Sometimes you think you're making money, but after fees, you might actually be losing.

Learn from my mistakes—the price I paid for this lesson really hurts 💲💲
