Since ancient times, there have been people who create characters, and now there are people who create memes.

During the Spring Festival, when I go home, relatives talk mostly about AI, robots, low-altitude economy, longevity technology, precious metals, and so on. When they turn around and ask me what I’ve invested in, I want to honestly say I’m playing with cryptocurrencies, but after glancing at their eyes, I think it’s better not to be looked down upon first.

Recently, the crypto world has indeed been quite interesting. The day before yesterday, I saw some interesting discussions in the community, and the next day, a new coin announcement from a major exchange came out. The pace is really hard to keep up with. Sometimes, market changes happen so quickly that you’re caught off guard. The hot topics you discuss in one place can suddenly become the focus of another.

This is the charm of the cryptocurrency market—fast information flow, crazy hot topic shifts, and investment opportunities that come and go in the blink of an eye. Sometimes I feel my investment choices are correct; other times, I think the market is playing a game more abstract than anyone else’s. But it’s precisely this unpredictability that makes more and more people start paying attention to this field.

Haha, my family asks about investments and I always dodge the question, not daring to say a word about AI or the crypto world. Information gap is everything in the crypto circle; hot topics from the previous second can completely reverse in the next, it's really hard to keep up. The market is like an abstract art exhibition; no one understands it but everyone still throws money into it. Compared to those low-altitude economy and precious metals topics, what we're playing with is much more exciting. But to be honest, which is more亏, being looked down upon or missing out on opportunities?

Relatives' looks when asking what to invest in are just priceless, it's still wiser to stay silent. As soon as the news drops, the market explodes; sometimes you react too slowly and miss out. Crypto stuff is so unpredictable, it's deadly. Market brothers, your moves this time are really abstract. When community discussions happen, the next day the official announcement follows; the coordination is a bit strange. How do you even say you're investing in cryptocurrencies? Family members don't understand this stuff. The pace is fast, but without stablecoins, it still feels a bit empty. Just trading back and forth like this, no one can predict what will happen in the next second. Relatives talk about the low-altitude economy, but it's not as practical as a good meme. That's why you have to hold tight to stablecoins; other coins are just too risky.

Haha, I get asked about investment projects when I go home, and it's so awkward that I just pretend I didn't hear clearly.

Haha, this is the happiness of the crypto world. Information asymmetry is life. --- I've experienced that look from relatives before, so I just kept quiet. --- The community announced it the next day after discussion, it's really not a coincidence, brother. --- The market is so abstract that even I don't know what I'm doing, it's quite刺激. --- Basically, the information flow is ridiculously fast, and the fleeting opportunities are overwhelming. --- If you ask me, this market is just a large social experiment—whoever gets the news first wins. --- So what if you're looked down upon? Wait until the market turns around and see who laughs last. --- The crypto world can really mess with your mind—sometimes you think you're a genius, other times you feel like an idiot. --- The day before yesterday's discussion just got announced now; this pace is really a bit tense. --- Investing in crypto means your heart has to be strong, or you really can't handle it.

The information gap in the crypto world is the difference in profit. Community discussions turn into exchange announcements, I really can't keep up with this pace.

Haha, I understand the awkwardness during family gatherings, the fate of crypto people. As soon as there's a new coin announcement in community discussions, the hype follows immediately. This pace is indeed hard to keep up with. The market is always one step ahead of your expectations; abstract games are just that. Basically, it's about information gaps and speed differences. Once you master them, you're halfway to winning. I can imagine that look in your eyes—quietly making money is the most comfortable.

Haha, I totally understand that look from relatives. Talking about crypto is like saying you’re playing the lottery yourself. Information gap is wealth gap. Those who knew earlier always make money, latecomers just take over. The rhythm in the crypto world is really hard to keep up with. A community discussion becomes an announcement the next day. It’s crazy. Market abstraction is just that—abstract. But opportunities are right in this chaos, it’s about who reacts fastest. Sometimes I also can’t tell if I’m investing or gambling, but I just can’t stop. Compared to the empty talk from relatives, I still trust the information flow and exchange trends. During Spring Festival, everyone keeps asking what I invested in. Feels like anyone talking about crypto needs to prepare their mental state first.

Haha, really, I get asked about investments when I get home, and when I say crypto, I’m immediately looked down upon. I’m also speechless. --- That’s outrageous. The community discusses a hot topic, and the next day the exchange issues an announcement. Who is really making money from the information gap? --- The pace of the crypto world is so fast that people can’t keep up. Yesterday’s hot topic is cold today. I really can’t hold on anymore. --- Abstract gaming is well said. Sometimes I feel like I’ve won, and other times the market just presses me to the ground and rubs me. --- I’m tired of the old gold and precious metals economy. Crypto is more interesting, even though relatives look down on it. --- Information flows so quickly that if you react one second late, you miss the opportunity. The pressure is intense. --- The market is really unpredictable, which is probably why more and more people are getting into it.
