Can’t cryptocurrencies really keep you awake?

Look at those who stare at the market every day, trading stocks and cryptocurrencies, spending a lot of time researching, isn’t it true that their dark circles are heavier than a panda's? Stories about borrowing money to go all in or jumping off buildings after liquidation have become ear-numbing, but why does everyone still rush in like they’re addicted? This all starts from the concept of 'time illusion.' For example, if you hear that Bitcoin is going to drop next month, you definitely wouldn’t buy now, right? You’re thinking, 'I’ll wait until it hits the bottom to buy.' But when that time comes, you hesitate: 'What if it drops again if I buy now?' As a result, you watch the price hit bottom and rebound, and at this point, you’re kicking yourself: 'If only I had bought yesterday!' But when it rises 10% the next day, you think, 'If I buy now, I’ll lose money; I’ll wait for a pullback.' After it rises, you regret buying too little before, and when it falls, you regret buying too early, and this cycle of hesitation continues. The final outcome is either missing out completely or gritting your teeth to buy in at the peak, which is the most typical newbie mentality. Now let’s talk about the 'loser’s counterattack dream.' In reality, you’re delivering food or tightening screws, and there’s no way to make big money. But in the crypto world, a buddy you were eating skewers with yesterday might suddenly drive a Porsche just because he bought some Dogecoin. This illusion of 'nobility having no inherent right' is even more intoxicating than a TikTok girl’s dance. What’s even stranger is that there are no 'win or lose checkpoints' here. Those who make money think 'I can make even more' and continue to push ahead after mortgaging their house; those who lose money think 'I’ll definitely break even next time' and keep gambling with borrowed money. It’s just like playing a claw machine; even though you know the tricks, the sound of coins keeps you from stopping. In short, the crypto world is a 24/7 wealth dream factory. Those suffocated by mortgage and car loans in reality can find the thrill of 'risking it all for a chance to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle' here. Even if they know the big players hold the remote control, they still feel they can grab that K-line that will change their fate—after all, who hasn’t dreamed of lying back and counting money?
