#币圈 Why does it get people hooked?💥🔥
1️⃣ Fantasy of getting rich: Doubling your money in 10 minutes, who wouldn’t be confused? The legend of "waking up with two more zeros in the account" is trending every day, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Shitcoin… every story sounds like a lottery advertisement, making people unable to help but think: "What if I’m the chosen one?"
It’s just survivor bias, the people who lose money quietly exit, only the stories of getting rich are replayed.
2️⃣ Heart-pounding games: 24-hour trading, more thrilling than binge-watching dramas. The crypto market never sleeps! Watching the charts at 3 AM, your heart rides the roller coaster with the K-line 🎢
When it goes up, you think “let’s earn another wave,” when it goes down, you think “buy the dip and turn it around,” dopamine is secreted crazily, more addictive than bubble tea.
3️⃣ Information anxiety: Afraid of missing out, dare not turn off the phone. Insider news, big shots calling shots, KOL analysis… endless groups and Twitter. Always feeling “if I relax, I’ll miss the wealth password,” resulting in **the more anxious, the more addicted**, living as a “slave to information.”
4️⃣ Community recognition: Finding a sense of belonging in the “organization.” “HODL! TO THE MOON🚀” Once the crypto slang comes out, you instantly find resonance.
When you lose, someone comforts you; when you earn, there’s collective celebration. This illusion makes it hard to leave.
5️⃣ Sunk cost: Having already lost, how can you give up? “Break even and leave” is the biggest lie! Wanting to earn back 100,000 after losing 100,000, wanting to turn 100,000 into 1,000,000… Gambler's mentality + loss aversion, trapping both your wallet and your rationality.
6️⃣ Illusion of freedom: Thinking you are fighting against the “traditional system.” Hate 996? Dislike banks' low interest rates? The crypto world waves the banner of “decentralized freedom revolution,” misleading people into thinking **trading coins = controlling destiny. In reality… it might just be changing a patch of land for another leek.**
7️⃣ Instant feedback: Working a year is not as good as trading coins for a day. Getting a raise at work takes half a year; in the crypto world, ups and downs are calculated by the second. This fast and certain feedback is like clearing a game, making it hard to resist, even if the result is negative feedback.
The crypto world is neither hell nor heaven.
It’s just a mirror that magnifies human greed, fear, and fragility.
What you might be addicted to is not money, but that “desire to quickly change your destiny.”
