Reality! Why are people addicted to the cryptocurrency world? 7 reasons why you can't quit!
1. The fantasy of getting rich quickly: who wouldn't be confused if you doubled your money in 10 minutes?
The legend of "two more zeros in your account after a good night's sleep" is on the screen every day. Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Tugoucoin... Every story is like a lottery advertisement, which makes people wonder: "What if I am the chosen one?" It's just a survivor bias. Those who lose money quietly exit the market, and only the stories of getting rich quickly are played in a loop.
2. Heartbeat game: 24-hour trading, more exciting than watching TV series
The cryptocurrency world is open all day! I'm still watching the market at 3 a.m., and my heart and K-line are on a roller coaster together. If it goes up, I want to "earn another wave", and if it goes down, I want to "buy the bottom and turn the market around". Dopamine is secreted crazily, which is more addictive than milk tea.
3. Information anxiety: afraid of missing out, dare not turn off the phone
Rumors, big guys shouting orders, KOL analysis... endless groups and Twitter
I always feel that "I will miss the code of wealth if I let go", and the more anxious I am, the more addicted I become, and I become a "slave to the news".
4. Community identity: Find a sense of belonging to the "organization"
"HODL! TO THE MOON!" As soon as the jargon of the currency circle comes out, I instantly find resonance.
If you lose, someone will comfort you, and if you make money, everyone will revel in the group. This illusion of group warmth makes people reluctant to leave.
5. Sunk cost: I have already lost money, so how can I be willing to stop?
"Recover the capital and leave" is the biggest lie! If you lose 100,000, you want to make it back, and if you make 100,000, you want to turn it into 1 million... The gambler mentality + loss aversion traps your wallet and reason together.
6. Illusion of freedom: I think I am fighting against the "traditional system"
Hate 996? Dislike the low interest rate of banks? The currency circle is under the banner of "decentralized free revolution", which makes people mistakenly believe that **speculating in currency = controlling destiny**. In fact... it may just be a change of leek field.
7. Instant feedback: Working for a year is not as good as trading in cryptocurrencies for a day
Waiting for a salary increase at work for half a year, while the rise and fall of the cryptocurrencies is calculated in seconds. This kind of fast and deterministic feedback makes people unable to stop, just like passing a game, even if the result is negative feedback.
The cryptocurrencies are not hell, but they are not heaven either.
It is just a magic mirror - magnifying the greed, fear and fragility of human nature.
You may not be addicted to money, but to the self who "desires to change your destiny quickly".
