# The Truth About the Crypto World: Who Is Really Here for the Technology?
You’ll always hear someone confidently claiming to be a technology believer — talking about decentralization, the future of blockchain, financial freedom… it all sounds very lofty.
But in reality? It boils down to one sentence: buying SHIB at 0.000008 back then, holding on tightly, just hoping to one day buy a luxury car.
Let’s not fool ourselves. Who enters this circle not thinking about becoming rich overnight? Seeing someone turn 100 bucks into 10,000 bucks, how can they not be tempted? That little voice in their mind whispers loudly: "This time I’ll turn things around, quit my job, show off, and boast to my friends — all in one go."
And then? The K-line drops straight from the heavens to the basement, with accounts shrinking faster than tearing a calendar.
At this point, they start to change their tune: "I’m a long-term investor, I believe in the technology’s development…" They say that outwardly, but inwardly, they’re praying desperately: "Please, just one more rally, just one wave, I swear I’ll run this time!"
How many true believers are there in crypto? In the end, most are just trapped gamblers, using “technology” and “long-term” as excuses to whitewash their own lucky breaks.
Keep an eye on the core coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB. If you really want to survive in this circle, you need to start adjusting your mindset — don’t dream of getting rich overnight, instead, build a stable and reliable strategic framework.

Haha, that's so heartbreaking, it's exactly what my neighbor said about his buddy.

Haha, that moment when you admit you're trapped and change your tune hits right in the heart.

actually, per my analysis of the behavioral taxonomy here... statistically speaking, the "hodlers claiming faith" just represent an evolutionary dead-end in market psychology. let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick—the correlation between shib bagholders and sudden "long-term conviction" is... unsurprising, tbh

Hi, you got caught, didn't you? I knew it, only a few truly understand the technology. Everyone's heart is the same—greedy. Once trapped, they start telling stories.

Haha, you're spot on. The guy around me is a typical example. He brags every day about blockchain ideals, but when I check his holdings, it's pure gambler's mentality.
