We people in the crypto world always like to be frugal in life and extravagant in trading.

Because we know how hard it is to earn money in real life; in the market, we always think it will come quickly.
Being frugal in life is because that’s real money—rent, food, commuting, face—everything is visible, and once spent, it’s gone, so it hurts.
But once you enter the crypto world, money turns from RMB into U, into positions, into percentages, into fluctuations on K-line charts— the real pain diminishes, and people tend to treat thousands or tens of thousands as “bullets” to shoot recklessly.
To put it plainly, in real life, they are just living day to day; in trading, they are dreaming.
On a deeper level, many people are too slow in reality but want to be fast in the crypto world.
In real life, they save because they know it’s not easy to save money; in trading, they spend extravagantly because they always think “if I hit this one, I’ll turn things around.”
That’s why an absurd scene appears: they find a cup of coffee expensive but don’t blink at chasing after a worthless coin.
It’s not that they can’t do the math; it’s that they treat spending as a loss, gambling as an opportunity, saving small money as self-discipline, and losing big as chasing dreams.
Truly mature people turn this around: don’t mistreat yourself too much in life, and don’t blindly act like the big boss in positions.
Saving 20 yuan at the supermarket isn’t impressive; making fewer mistakes in positions is the real way to save money.
Promise me, always be a little kinder to yourself in life.
