#Strategy加仓BTC There are often a lot of insults in the comment section every day, so today I might as well vent a little.



Is the crypto world really full of scammers? Is Bitcoin truly a scam?

Honestly, I used to curse like this when I was young. After cursing, I felt more at ease, as if the world had returned to a form I could understand. But then I started asking myself a few questions, and the more I asked, the more I couldn't figure it out.

If it were truly a scam, why not take the "quick money route"—pump, dump, change the name and do it again? Yet it has stubbornly persisted for over ten years. Global regulators are watching, various "dead" theories are bombarding, computing power is reshuffling time and again, and participants are constantly updating. This doesn't look like the tactics of scammers; it more resembles a system that no one can easily shut down.

Looking at the institutions. The most rational, cold-blooded, probability-focused capital? They didn't come out to expose it immediately; instead, they kept probing, researching, and entering repeatedly. These people make a living by uncovering scams—how could they have been fooled for over ten years?

The last question hits hard: if it’s truly a scam, who is the real target of our anger all these years? Is it $BTC, $ETH, or these assets themselves, or is it a world that ignores your will and keeps moving forward regardless?

Gradually, I understand now—many of the insults are less about analyzing assets and more about defending the familiar order. The market’s harshest trait is precisely this: it never takes responsibility for comforting anyone.

Now I’ve changed my habit. I no longer easily judge "what it must be." But I also give up using simple and blunt words like "scam" to describe it, especially when it’s something that has been around for over ten years and has not been disproven by facts.

I’m not advising you to invest or believe. Just some questions—after cursing, you still have to think about them yourself. I’m just venting a little.

That was really harsh, hitting many people's pain points. Bro, your words are much more interesting than the stereotypical "the crypto circle is x" rants in the comment section. Not being shut down for over ten years does say something, but I still think—what the market can comfort is never the retail investors' hearts, only those holding the chips.

Really, enduring for over ten years does show something. But I still feel that I haven't been wronged.

Hmm... that makes some sense. The logic indeed can't be blocked.

Well said, after more than ten years, no one has been able to shut it down, I have to admit that.

Well said, surviving for over ten years definitely takes some skill. Instead of complaining all day, it's better to think things through; after all, the market doesn't care about our feelings.

It's been over ten years and it's still not dead, which is indeed something. Not like a scammer, more like something that no one can turn off.

Speaking of which, surviving for over a decade is really worth pondering. It's not about whitewashing, but just feeling that simply and bluntly calling it a "scam" doesn't quite make sense.
