This round of compensation is indeed generous. Some users in the Chinese community received a $15,000 refund due to juvenile account issues, while the English community saw single-loss compensation reaching $30,000—such a scale of compensation can directly change market participants' risk expectations.

Interestingly, once this high-level compensation and refund policy becomes normalized, it actually weakens the competitive advantage of professional traders. When the risks for beginners are directly covered by the exchange, the advantage gained through experience for high-level players is neutralized, effectively lowering the barrier to entry in the market.

More than ten years ago, the gaming industry also experienced similar adjustments—when developers kept correcting game mechanics for ordinary players, the original meta was broken. It seems to have become a rule of internet platforms: to expand the user base, they always prioritize newcomers first. In the short term, compensation policies increase costs, but in the long term, they rewrite the participation threshold of the entire ecosystem.

30,000 dollars single transaction? I'm stunned, that's even more than my monthly earnings. --- So the era of new players lying flat and winning for free has really arrived; anything can be used to compensate. --- This exchange's tactic is just to attract users, spending money to drive growth. The advantage of front-running is gone. --- Wait, if this continues, the moat for professional players will disappear... --- Something's off. If compensation becomes normalized, won't anyone dare to take risks? --- Game developers' approach is indeed similar; shifting from hardcore to casual changes the entire competitive landscape. --- Damn, why didn't I catch this wave with the loss I previously took? --- Is this really about expanding the big picture or genuinely protecting users? I can't quite figure it out. --- In the long run, these policies do change the game rules. Newcomers will definitely have the courage to enter.

Haha, a single payout of $30,000? This exchange is really going all out. The era of newbies freeloading without risk is coming. Now even veteran traders have a chance, but their experience value instantly depreciates. If the exchange keeps compensating like this, is it long-term fostering laziness or nurturing new traders? Not quite sure. Damn, this logic is like a game balance patch—overdoing it ruins the fun. With such thorough protection for newbies, where does my advantage of years of experience come in? Laughs. The market entry barrier has lowered, but competition has become more intense—kind of ironic. Once compensation becomes normalized, who still fears losses? This risk management has become a joke. Wait, if this keeps up, what can the exchange even earn?

Damn, $30,000 per transaction? Is the exchange spending money to buy users? Newbies get direct backing from the exchange, while someone like me who relies on experience actually has no advantage. The logic is indeed brilliant. I just don't know when I'll get my turn for this compensation. Really, if it continues like this, it might be better to just give benefits directly to newbies. The example from the gaming industry hits the point immediately—once the balance is changed, the entire meta shifts.

Wow, the compensation from 15,000 to 30,000 is really incredible. Is the exchange really using real money to boost its user base?
