When it comes to the business principles in the crypto world, there's always one question in front of us — not everyone can accept this way of playing.

My stance is simple: no scams, no playing those messy tricks. Even if it's just narrative hype, essentially it's about storytelling. If you're interested, join in; if not, just walk away. Whether to buy or not ultimately depends on your own judgment. My sharing of opinions is to make money, but in the end, the money still stays in your own pocket.

Ultimately, the only person who can take your money away is — yourself. Every loss is a result of your own choice. There are no victims in the market, only participants.

Well said, take control of your own money and don't always blame the market.

It's quite a harsh truth, but there's really no fault in it—when losing money, why does no one say it's your own choice?

Listen brother, this way of speaking sounds nice, but in the end, it's just shifting blame. --- If you lose money, you say it's your own choice. But what about the project跑路? Is that also your choice? --- Storytelling and hype are just storytelling and hype. Don't dress it up as narrative. --- It's true that the money is in your pocket, but if the means are off, then it's just wrong. --- I admit I make money, but don't stand on a moral high ground to teach others, it seems a bit虚. --- No victims in the market? Ha, that's a bit absolute to say. --- Wow, this is the logic of the crypto圈, everything is pushed onto "your own choice." --- Got it, it's just saying "sell when you should, don't blame me." --- Nothing wrong with that, but when something really happens, how much is this way of speaking worth?

You're right, in the end, you still have to wake yourself up.

Ha, that's quite a punch to the gut. It's true that taking responsibility for your own money is no joke. --- There's a difference between storytelling hype and outright scams, I agree with that. --- The problem is knowing and doing are two different things. Not many can participate rationally. --- It sounds nice, but in the end, it's still losing money. Cognitive change can't alter the outcome. --- Your own choices are your own responsibility, that's true, but it's also a bit ruthless. --- Participants all understand this deep down, it's just that they can't control themselves. --- The statement that there are no victims in the market is too absolute; there are indeed people who get genuinely scammed. --- Come on, if people could really be this rational, who would lose so badly? --- Good point, but everyone forgets it when it comes to execution.

Listen, I've heard this kind of rhetoric too many times. When it's nice, it's "telling a story"; when it's harsh, it's just a scam. --- Really, managing your own wallet is the most important thing. Don't rely on any "opinions" to guide you. --- No victims, only participants? Ha, what about those project teams that got scammed? How do they automatically become participants? --- I believe you have no ill intentions, but this kind of reasoning sounds pretty hollow when used to comfort those who got cut. --- Honestly, not many people are brave enough to openly admit their interests like this—at least it's not hypocritical. --- The problem is, no matter how good the story is, if the project data isn't solid, it's all for nothing. --- Participating in the market means accepting the risks. That's true, but don't just blame retail investors entirely.
