I encountered some big brothers in the trading circle offline, and the big brother recognized the director at a glance. The awkward part was that the director had deleted the person's WeChat (because of always receiving ads), so he had to apologize on the spot and add the person back.

However, what was even more shocking was that the trading circle now looks down on the cryptocurrency circle and the director, who naively believes they are still fighting for ideals:

You in the cryptocurrency circle are harvesting leeks, and the leeks don’t even know who the sickle behind them is. Even if they find out who the sickle is, they can’t reach it; the sickle is blatantly flaunting wealth in the offline world of indulgence/social media, mocking the leeks…

But we in the trading circle are different. The team leader connects with the community leaders, and the community leaders connect with the older folks. We also harvest, and after harvesting, the team leader cheers everyone up online, while the community leader goes offline to drink and cry with everyone. After a good cry, it’s over; life goes on, and the bond between brothers and sisters becomes stronger, and the community becomes more united. In contrast, you in the cryptocurrency circle harvest leeks without providing any emotional value…

The director was dumbfounded and flushed, desperately defending the spirit of crypto, saying how much contribution the cryptocurrency circle has made to Bitcoin and stablecoins, and explaining the tortuous development process of the cryptocurrency circle borrowing from false pretenses to achieve true goals.

The big brother from the trading circle said, 'You don’t know how much 3M and Plustoken contributed to Bitcoin and stablecoins? It's hard to say who has contributed more. What’s there to look down on? Shanzhai and meme projects have unlimited supply; memes are gone in a day, and Shanzhai TGE ends as soon as it starts. Our trading circle organizes to mobilize resources for a much longer investment cycle, never a rug pull, always family…'

The director's face turned red, speechless, feeling increasingly ashamed. What have we practitioners done in these years?

Falling to this state today, being ridden on the head and outputting.
