In our country, although virtual currency trading has not received official recognition, the scale of market participation cannot be underestimated. According to incomplete statistics, the number of people involved in the virtual currency field has reached as many as 80 million. Some people doubt this data, believing that no one around them is participating; in reality, this is due to the clandestineness of virtual currency trading, which causes related activities to operate in the shadows away from the public eye. Taking exchanges like OKEx and Binance as examples, the majority of their user base consists of Chinese investors, which intuitively reflects the large audience for virtual currency domestically. However, the virtual currency market is not a 'land of wealth'; over 99% of participants face losses. In this market, avenues for profit are extremely limited and can be roughly divided into two categories: holding coins and improper profit-making. Holding coins, though a traditional investment method, requires professional knowledge, substantial capital, and the patience for long-term holding, and its high barriers to entry result in very few successful cases. In stark contrast are various fraudulent methods, which some people attempt to use as a 'shortcut' to quick wealth. Large-scale fraud methods, such as issuing coins to harvest investors and setting up 'pig butchering' schemes, may offer enticing returns but come with high risks; once caught, offenders will face legal sanctions, making truly successful cases rare. Smaller fraudulent behaviors are more common, including providing trading assistance to scammers, earning commissions, taking on illegal advertisements, and luring others into investing. These behaviors are simple to carry out and have low barriers to entry, attracting many who attempt to gain without hard work. They may act out of a desire for revenge after being scammed themselves, or due to life's pressures, but more often, they are impulsively confident they can escape legal punishment due to seeing others profiting. Amid the chaos of virtual currency, there are many absurd cases. A well-known internet personality once failed in issuing coins and was instead 'harvested' by investors, afterward posting about their misfortune; there are also project teams that have gone to prison for issuing coins fraudulently, yet still attempt to gain support through public statements from lawyers, all of which expose the chaos of the virtual currency market and the opportunism of its participants. In the internet age, all actions leave traces. Irregular operations and fraudulent activities in virtual currency trading may seem to succeed temporarily, but all online data is recorded, and participants will ultimately pay the price for their actions. Whether the risks and costs of virtual currency trading are worth it is a question everyone weighs in their hearts, but it is certain that under the framework of law and regulation, any illegal profit-making behavior will not last long. The above has reinterpreted the content related to virtual currency from multiple perspectives.
