The cryptocurrency world, a high-leverage environment, often sees one moment in heaven and the next moment in hell. In this 'short, flat, and fast' era, the cryptocurrency world has completely overturned the 'worker logic' of the lower class, holding a fatal attraction for workers.
A smartphone, an internet connection, and a virtual currency trading platform are filled with motivational phrases like 'earn hundreds of U while lying down for a day' and 'easily achieve class transition', which constantly erode the values of workers.
In the traditional workplace, the principle of 'exchanging time for money' is an unshakeable rule, the promotion ladder is solidified by hierarchy, and income growth can never keep pace with inflation. In the cryptocurrency world, wealth accumulation no longer relies on the addition of repetitive labor but comes from the judgment of trends and the mastery of risks.
BTC's leap from a few cents to tens of thousands of dollars, the exponential expansion of the ETH ecosystem, the application of SOL, the smooth transition of BNB's functions, and the short-term multiples of some altcoins all confirm the wealth myth that 'choice is greater than effort' and 'cognition can be monetized.' What excites workers even more is that there is no boss's PUA in the crypto world, and no complicated workplace relationships, only trading that can stimulate dopamine at any time.
However, 'in life we patch and mend, but in the crypto world, money is spent like dirt' has become the daily routine for workers. They compare delivery fees for takeout at 3 yuan, and for a five-star review, they get a 2 yuan rebate for every little bit, but as soon as they open the app, they don’t blink at losing dozens or hundreds of U. They just lament their bad luck, and phrases like 'just hang in there' and 'stop-loss early' have become mantras.
The crypto world does indeed offer opportunities for wealth at all times, but it requires deep technical accumulation, keen market insight, and strong risk management skills. The crypto world has never been a charity circle; it has always been a place of deceit and trickery. The vast majority of workers who rush into the crypto world lack professional knowledge. Project parties sell tokens to harvest the inexperienced, market makers withdraw liquidity to harvest, KOLs use false advertising to harvest, exchanges cut off connections to harvest, 'meme coins' skyrocket and then run away to harvest, high-leverage followers of 'masters' face liquidation to harvest, and ignorant people authorize phishing sites with fake wallets to harvest. There are too many traps waiting for workers, and the vast majority ultimately become 'chives' that are harvested.
Regardless of how things are, life must go on. I hope everyone can successfully pass through the bear market and welcome the arrival of the bull market. Those on guard will be unblocked, and those who ambush will become rich.
