The strongest illusion for young people today: cashback ≈ spending nothing



This is the biggest magic in the modern financial world.
Cashback 5%.
The brain automatically interprets it as:
"Almost free for this meal."
Although math teachers might remain silent upon hearing this,
consumers really do feel happy.
Since using the Gate Platinum Card, I’ve realized that the most impressive part of the cashback mechanism isn’t saving money.
It’s:
"Reducing guilt."
In the past, paying a bit more would cause pain.
Now, paying a bit more makes you think:
"At least I can get BTC cashback."
So the shopping experience instantly becomes much softer.
Why do adults increasingly prefer this kind of card?
Because life is already tough enough.
And cashback at least creates a gentle illusion of:
"I'm not losing that much."
