#数字资产市场动态 There are quite a few curses in the comment section, so today I’ll just vent and complain.
Crypto scammers, is Bitcoin a scam? I used to criticize it like that when I was young. After criticizing, I felt really relieved, like the world was back to what I was familiar with. But then I started to ask myself, is that really the case?
Thinking about it, there are three things worth pondering.
First, if Bitcoin is really a scam, why isn’t it the kind of scheme that "pulls up the price, dumps, then changes masks and comes back"? It has persisted for over ten years like this. Global regulators are watching it closely, it’s been declared "dead" countless times, hash power keeps reshuffling, and participants have changed several waves. Could scammers have this much patience? This doesn’t look like fraud; it more resembles a system that no one can shut down.
Second, what about the most rational, realistic big capital that relies on intuition? They didn’t come in to expose this scheme immediately, but instead repeatedly test, research, and re-enter. These people profit from seeing through scams. Would they be willing to be played willingly? That’s unlikely.
Third, the most thought-provoking point—if it’s a scam, then who have we truly been angry at all these years? Is it Bitcoin itself, or is it a world that’s changing without your consent?
Gradually, I realized that many of the curses are not about analyzing the asset but about defending the order we are used to.
The market is so cold-blooded: it owes no one any comfort.
Now I no longer dare to casually say "it must be like this" either. But I also let go of the easiest word—"scam." Using that to explain something that has lasted over ten years and hasn’t been proven wrong feels not serious enough.
I’m not advising you to go all in, nor am I asking you to believe. Just saying, some questions, after cursing, still need to be thought through by yourself.
