🔹 1. Illusion of getting rich｜Even with a one in ten thousand chance, I want to take a gamble
Stories of overnight wealth constantly flood social media: Bitcoin billionaires, Dogecoin myths, altcoins multiplying by ten in three days... You know it's someone else's story, but you can't help but think: "Maybe it's my turn next?"
The real truth is: those who made money flaunt their results, while those who lost have silently exited.
🔹 2. Emotional rollercoaster｜Both rises and falls can get you high
The crypto market never shuts down for 24 hours; every candlestick is like challenging your heart rate limit.
When it goes up, you feel enlightened; when it goes down, you want to increase your position to break even. This thrill is harder to stop than scrolling through short videos.
🔹 3. Information bombardment｜Afraid of missing any "signals"
A new development in a project? A big player suddenly calls a trade? A certain KOL posted a vague comment?
You start to hesitate to close Telegram, hesitate to log off Twitter, continuously scrolling and watching, fearing to miss the key to wealth. The more anxious you get, the more likely you are to buy chaotically.
🔹 4. Social binding｜"I'm not fighting alone"
You shout "HODL," and others respond "To the moon!"
The crypto world feels like an "organization" with its own language and a culture of camaraderie. Here, you find recognition and a sense of existence; even if you lose, you have a group of people to mock yourself with—this sense of companionship is harder to let go than profit.
🔹 5. Sunk cost｜The unwilling you are, the easier it is to get trapped
"Just wait a bit longer, I'll break even soon" is the retail trader's mantra.
Not leaving after losing 100,000 is because you want to earn back to the original point; not leaving after earning 100,000 is because you feel it can double again.
Saying rationally on one side, but sinking deeper and deeper, relying entirely on emotions to trade.
🔹 6. Illusion of freedom｜Thinking you're "rebelling against the system," but in reality, it's just another form of competition
Escaped the 9-to-5 grind, only to enter an endless anxiety of monitoring the market;
Cursing the low bank interest, yet chasing after big players in the crypto world every day;
"Decentralization" sounds passionate, but in reality, you might just be changing places to get harvested.
🔹 7. Quick feedback mechanism｜Even if you lose, it's still exhilarating
The crypto market is not like working a year just to wait for a salary adjustment; here, every second is changing.
When it rises, the pleasure comes too quickly; when it falls, the thrill hasn't faded before you want to charge again.
This is not financial management; it feels more like a game of "instant feedback," knowing it's toxic but still can't help but continue to the next level.
💡 Conclusion: The crypto world is neither hell nor heaven
It’s more like a mirror that reveals human greed, impulse, obsession, and avoidance...
What you are addicted to may not be the profits, but that desire to change your fate overnight.
