Look at this, the guys in the crypto world are really interesting. Opening a contract and spending hundreds or thousands of dollars, throwing around small images and spending money casually, often making large transactions. But when it comes to real life? Even a small expense like Tencent SVIP needs to be calculated, and something as little as thirty-something yuan a year has to be carefully considered.

Isn't it quite ironic—being free and generous on the blockchain, but meticulous and frugal in reality? The average crypto person is a million-dollar trader, yet in real life, they are meticulous penny-pinchers.

I really want to ask everyone, since you can go all out in trading, why can't you treat yourself a little better in life? Make more withdrawals, spend more, reward yourself more. Eat when you want, play when you want—don't always win money in the market and still be saving in life. Life is only lived once, and enjoying it in time is not excessive.

Haha, this is the common problem among crypto people: on-chain spendthrift, off-chain tightwad. Winning a shitcoin and thinking you're a millionaire, but then hesitating to buy a coffee—still trying to be fancy and poor here. Exactly right, everyone dares to throw thousands of knives into contracts, but why not treat themselves well? This mentality is truly incredible—earning virtual numbers, saving real gold and silver. Have they got it backwards? The happiness of crypto people is so contradictory: on-chain king life, off-chain beggar. It's probably just an illusion—having a bunch of zeroed-out coins in the account, really thinking you're a millionaire. I also can't understand it—why bother? Isn't enjoying life in the moment more appealing? You hit the nail on the head, but some people might be afraid of losing, and after hoarding for a while, they get used to being stingy. Daring to gamble their life savings on-chain, but in real life, they have to think twice before buying a membership—that's just ridiculous.

Haha, this is hilarious. This is the bizarre phenomenon in the crypto world: on-chain whales are actually penny-pinchers. Making a little money and still thinking about SVIP? Can't take it anymore. That's right, what's the point of making money? Isn't it just to spend? Yet some are waiting until they’re in the coffin. This logic is absurd. Being flashy in trading but nagging in life—if anyone behaves like that, they’re doomed. I wish I could too, brother, but when I don’t have money, I shouldn’t think too much. On-chain millionaires are actually just on-chain beggars—that's the true portrayal of the crypto world. Enjoy life in the moment? First, avoid liquidation in time, brother.

Haha, this is the common problem among crypto people. On-chain, they dare to throw thousands of NFTs, but in real life, they’re reluctant to top up for SVIP. Honestly, we are living in two worlds... earning quickly but spending just as fast, yet still pinching pennies for living expenses. The money炒作 in the crypto world always feels like not real money; only real gold and silver hit differently. On-chain, a million-dollar net worth; in reality, still calculating a few bucks a month. We are just ridiculous here. But saying “live in the moment” has also become cliché. Let’s survive the bear market first. This logic... seems like every new rookie thinks this way, then after getting cut, they become honest and start saving money. Spending freely when making money, being stingy when losing money—this is the true portrait of a split personality in the crypto world. That’s right, but the problem is that most people’s “million” in their accounts is just floating gains; they are very clear about their real balance. They get emotionally overwhelmed on the contract side when they lose, but saving money in real life becomes a psychological comfort.

Hmm... I have to say, this is a classic example of the mental accounting effect. According to behavioral finance data, risk perception decreases by about 52% during virtual asset operations, but when it comes to actual consumption, the loss aversion coefficient skyrockets, which is a bit pathological(´；ω；`)

Haha, this really hits the nail on the head. On-chain big players are saving that SVIP money in real life. Honestly, it's probably the psychological account acting up. Virtual assets dare to gamble with their lives, but they’re reluctant to spend real gold and silver. Me too. I wouldn’t blink at a contract risking thousands of dollars, but I need to look at the price for two seconds before buying a cup of milk tea—ridiculous. It's a common problem among crypto people. We earn virtual numbers but spend real gold and silver. That mental barrier is hard to get over. That’s a valid point. Living in the moment isn’t excessive. Who knows what the crypto prices will be like tomorrow? Forget it, I’ll just keep saving. What if one day everything gets wiped out? I need to have living expenses. The real world and the on-chain world are indeed two different worlds. I’m the same way—kind of surreal. Wake up, everyone. Is it really that hard to spend money to buy happiness? Why bother arguing with yourself?

Haha, on-chain big whales are just penny pinchers. Isn't this the true reflection of the crypto world? That's right, making money is just to spend it. What's the point of saving so much? I just can't understand, why is it that being able to trade futures means they can't treat themselves well? That's crazy. Enjoying life in the moment is fine, but people in the crypto world love to deceive themselves. Really, a bunch of people have millions on-chain, but they won't even splurge on a good meal. It's hilarious. It's a common problem among crypto people—making money just to gamble again, never thinking about real life. I think maybe they just enjoy trading so much that spending money doesn't give them that thrill. Honestly, this kind of mindset will eventually backfire. Mindset is more valuable than funds. Just because someone dares to operate on-chain doesn't mean they're clear-headed. It's just a gambler's mentality.
