When the speed of the numbers jumping exceeds the buzzing of the counting machine, and when your account balance suddenly has a string of zeros one morning, you will understand the almost magical allure of the crypto world.
The night before, you were anxious about the fluctuations of a few hundred dollars. The next day, when you open your eyes, the red line on the K-line chart shoots up vertically as if cast under a spell, and your phone screen reflects your suddenly flushed cheeks. The numbers that once required late-night overtime and endless negotiations to accumulate now pile up in your account like leaves caught in a gale, without any warning.
You start to doubt whether there is a mistake in the system, repeatedly refreshing the page until you confirm that string of numbers is painfully real. When you go downstairs to buy breakfast, the few coins the boss hands you suddenly feel weightless—it's not that money has devalued; it's that you have suddenly stepped into a dimension where the rules of wealth have been rewritten.
This feeling is like standing on the mountain top after a torrential rain, watching the mountain flood rushing in with golden sand. You did nothing, just happened to stand at the eye of the storm. After the ecstasy comes a daze; it turns out that money can really come like a strong wind, and what lures people most in the crypto world is perhaps this illusion of 'getting something for nothing' and the crazy gravitational pull hidden behind it that makes people willing to bet everything.
