Here are some real feelings about interacting with people in the crypto circle. First, if you're looking for a partner, it's best to confirm whether the other person is an active participant in the crypto world—people in this circle generally have irregular working hours, can stay up all night playing the market, and have a rather unique view of money, so dating might be a bit tumultuous. What's more heartbreaking is that many self-proclaimed big V and KOLs seem to have substantial assets on paper, but in reality, their liquid funds might be much tighter than you think. Some become opinion leaders based on a viral idea or project endorsement, but their standard of living may not be as glamorous as it appears. This is the true picture of the crypto world—there's often a huge gap between the halo and reality.

Damn, isn't this the buddy I know? Staying up until 3 a.m. analyzing charts every day, almost losing his girlfriend. His account assets jump to millions, but he still has to split bills when we go out to eat—unbelievable. All the stories behind the big V status, trusting them is worse than trusting your own judgment. The money mindset in the crypto world is really a bit messed up; after making several times the profit, they get inflated, and when they lose, they act like nothing happened. For dating, it's better to find someone with a stable routine, or you'll be glued to the charts every day and go crazy. This comment hits too close to home; I know several people whose personalities have collapsed.

This really hit me... I’ve tracked those so-called big V on the chain. Honestly, the transfer records of whale wallets are crystal clear. Some people have tens of millions in assets on their books. Look at their withdrawal records? Cold wallets haven’t moved for years, and their liquid funds probably don’t even reach a million. That’s what I mean by black box operations.

Haha, I can't hold it anymore. This is me—having a million on paper but actually living paycheck to paycheck. People in the crypto world dating? First, ask if their K-line chart is more diligent than their girlfriend. Big influencers wearing Gucci and drinking coffee, then turning around to ask me for five bucks to buy a meal—truly a sight to behold. This article is basically about me. So embarrassed I want to buy a Bitcoin and smash my own foot. A market trend all night long, my wife has long since smashed her pillow. Crypto people are just forced to stay single. Honestly, having impressive asset numbers is true, and tight liquidity is also true. It’s probably not much different. The gap between the big influencer persona and real life is even worse than losing money shorting Bitcoin.
