Many people say I rarely lose my temper in the crypto world and seldom argue publicly.

Expressing emotions in public is meaningless for the outcome of a debate; you’re still a clown or yourself.
It’s better to learn how to manage your emotions and regain your respect.
When conflicts happen publicly, those who reason often lose the worst.
Spectators don’t care about the truth; they only care about interests.
You think you’re reasoning, but actually you’re fighting a one-on-one duel; experts fight group battles.
Understand these three tricks, and you can instantly control the entire scene.
First trick: Refuse self-justification, directly define the situation.
Don’t rush to explain when attacked.
For example, if someone mocks your outdated clothes, the more you explain, the more you seem insecure like a weakling.
The correct approach is to step out of the content and focus on character.
For example, calmly ask back: Are you criticizing my clothes, or are you using this as an excuse to show your meanness?
Do you judge a person’s worth solely based on appearance?
The focus instantly shifts from you to their character.
Second trick: Elevate the issue to create public outrage.
Don’t let people think it’s a personal grudge between you two; make the onlookers feel threatened.
For example, if your plan is publicly humiliated during a meeting, don’t say everyone worked hard; say:
“If working seriously results in this kind of humiliation, who would dare to do real work in the future?”
People won’t stand up for you out of sympathy, but they will for self-protection, because they realize the next blow might hit them.
Third trick: Lay out the consequences and cut off escape routes.
If the other person gets anxious, they’ll definitely bite back and can’t joke around.
Don’t prove you’re insensitive; directly reveal the hidden dangers.
For example, if a dinner is mocked, say:
“If gatherings always rely on sacrificing others’ dignity for fun, no one will come to such events in the future.”
You’re no longer fighting for yourself but maintaining the environment for everyone, roasting the other person on the fire.
Remember:
In public conflicts, the first to win isn’t reason but narrative control.
Next time you’re publicly challenged, pause for a second and ask yourself:
Am I responding to the content, or am I first defining whether they crossed the line?
Speak less preachy, judge less; others have their own cause and effect to fix.
Don’t mistake being taken advantage of as being dull-witted;
what you lack isn’t words, but a mind that can make everyone re-position themselves.
