Looking at the crypto world over the past few years, one interesting phenomenon has become increasingly obvious—the stark contrast in wealth disparity. The daily flood of stories about sudden riches and the bragging of successful individuals create a continuous psychological impact. Most people are actually struggling, but there are always some who are boldly showcasing their gains.



The logic behind this is actually quite cruel. When you see others making money through long or short positions, it's hard not to be triggered to trade—this is not a personal problem, but a common flaw of human nature. Psychological studies have long told us: people don't live based on absolute values, but on relative ones. Your returns don't matter as much as whether you have more or less than others.

In the crypto market, the design of the system, to some extent, is exploiting this greed. One hero movement after another creates a series of success stories. These stories are real, but they are amplified and spread, eventually evolving into a collective illusion. Most participants are ordinary, making it difficult not to be swept up in this wave.

Overcoming herd mentality and making rational decisions? The data says it's easy—99.99% of people have been burned by this. When market sentiment is heated enough, even the most rational advice seems pale in comparison. The key is not in the reasoning, but in whether you can maintain clarity amid the madness.

That hits too close to home; it's really just playing psychological games. I feel like I've fallen for it too—can't sit still when I see others making money. The most terrifying thing in the crypto world isn't losing money; it's feeling like you're falling behind. Relative value really is fundamental; compared to absolute returns, it doesn't matter. That 99.99% crash rate, I think it should be adjusted upward. The price of being sober is watching others get rich overnight—who can handle that?

Really, 99.99% of people die here --- That's right, but who can truly stay sober in madness --- The gap between rich and poor, the more I look at it, the more exhausting it feels --- One idolization movement after another, we're being cut leeks over and over again --- Human nature is so greedy, there's nothing we can do about it --- The habit of comparing returns with others, I really need to change it --- Seeing a story of sudden wealth makes me want to go all in, I know my own moves too well --- By the time I wake up, I've already lost half, that's the crypto world --- The most heartbreaking thing is, the stories are all real, but it just won't be your turn --- Rational advice doesn't help at all, who listens when the market heats up

Really, watching those stories of getting rich instantly makes people want to go all in. This is the poison of the crypto world. 99% of people have suffered losses; who can truly stay sober amidst the madness? Compared to this, it really has most people under control. Seeing others make money every day makes your hands itch uncontrollably. Who can handle this mindset? Wave after wave of idolization movements, collective fantasies are just woven like this. I've also tried to be rational, but in the end, I still got swept in haha. The gap between rich and poor in the crypto world is being infinitely magnified, and it’s really heartbreaking to watch.

It's just that the moment you see others making money, your brain immediately shorts out. This analysis really hit me; it's spot on. That's how the crypto world is—99.99% of people are just leeks. The clear-headed ones have long since exited the scene; the rest are just gambling. Honestly, relative value is the most disgusting thing; always trying to earn more than others. Playing the god-creating game too smoothly, one after another getting cut. Human greed, there's no way around it; saying more won't help. Trying to stay sober in the madness? Dream on, buddy.

Really, looking at those guys who report daily profits every day, my mindset is really崩 I believe the 99.99% failure rate, I am exactly that group Honestly, it's a psychological game. If you can't afford to lose, don't play Being sober? Forget it. When a market wave comes, who still manages rationally? The most exciting thing in the crypto world is this cycle of "you're poor, I'm rich" I also want to get rich quickly, but I'm more afraid of taking the final baton
