In the Bitcoin community, it's always half faith and half heartbeat.

Bitcoin has never been smooth sailing. From its origins as a niche geek experiment to now influencing trillions of dollars in global markets, it has experienced rapid rises and falls, with controversy never ceasing. Some have achieved financial freedom through it, while others have lost everything overnight.

Currently, the market is even more volatile, having recently approached the 80,000 mark, only to quickly drop back, with daily fluctuations of thousands of dollars becoming commonplace. In mid-May 2026, there was a scene where over 100k traders were liquidated within 24 hours, losing more than 600 million USD in a flash, and panic quickly spread. But even with such large swings, some institutions continue to buy against the trend; for example, Strategy company has made a large purchase of over 170k bitcoins this year—more than the output of miners during the same period.

Many are attracted by the "get-rich-quick myth," rushing in without realizing the deep abyss behind it. Without price limits, no regulatory safety net, platforms can run away, hackers can steal coins, contracts can be liquidated, phishing links abound—each trap can wipe out your entire investment. High leverage is an even deadlier weapon; with several or even dozens of times leverage, a slight market reversal can force a margin call, leaving no chance to recover.
