People who have never bought coins definitely wouldn't raise this question.
In 2013, many of my colleagues and I, with a try-it-out mentality, bought some Bitcoin. That feeling is unforgettable; I really couldn't sleep at night. The price that year rose from one or two thousand yuan to 7800 yuan (RMB).
In this state, I would stay awake until one or two o'clock, easily falling asleep, then waking up again at four or five, grabbing my phone to take a look, and then couldn't sleep again.
Every day in the WeChat group, I urge my relatives to buy a little, and I also post on Moments to widely inform others. However, they are mostly seen as victims of a pyramid scheme.
During this period, it kept rising, buying all the way, going crazy.
Then it plummeted all the way, maintaining a low point at three thousand yuan for several years.
From then on, I stopped mentioning this topic and could finally sleep earlier at night. I just feel a bit sorry for the money I've been stuck with.
Later on, exchanges were shut down, settlement services were halted, and mining farms were closed. At first, I was worried, but then I became increasingly numb.
Later, everyone knew that the price had risen to what it is now, and it had long been calm, with no fear of boiling water. I don't look at the market, it doesn't affect my sleep.
When my Zhihu account is not anonymous, I hardly touch the topic of Bitcoin, occasionally mentioning its negative aspects, and never discussing my history of buying coins, in order to maintain a normal person's image. After all, in the public's perception, those who buy coins are either scammers or fools.
I scanned the answer section and found it very abnormal. Most answers are one-liners, with many low-quality accounts; there are more comments and fewer likes. In my view, they are all here to 'express' themselves, no one is here to 'listen.' Except for institutional accounts, the overall expressive ability is not high. It's very different from other topics on Zhihu. Is this the current state of the cryptocurrency circle?
It's confirmed now, this cryptocurrency circle is indeed not normal. A normal Zhihu answer would have more comments than likes, often indicating that many people disagree with the answer. However, if you open the comments section, you can find that these people are actually commenting in agreement. This means that Zhihu's algorithm cannot determine whether readers like this answer or whether it should push this answer to more users.
Maybe this is the user profile of cryptocurrency players: high self-worth recognition, looking down on everything, yet with low cultural levels. They are reclusive and reject the social attributes of platforms like Zhihu. They have a high desire for wealth yet reject the cultural atmosphere of sharing and output.
