Some insights:
In an industry like the cryptocurrency world, one must strive to be a "normal person" and be cautious of threshold changes and cognitive biases.
——————————————————
1. First, beware of the change in "wealth threshold": after experiencing immense wealth, it becomes difficult to accept normal standards of wealth.
(This experience, which doesn't even need to be one's own or that of those around them, but only something they have heard about, can potentially change the "wealth threshold"). Under the influence of the "cognitive anchoring" effect, practitioners' psychological standards will be reset, making it impossible for them to accept a life below a certain wealth standard. Under the impact of the "illusion bias", practitioners may believe that they can permanently maintain the peak of wealth flow, or think of themselves as the next lucky one... which leads to difficulty returning to the real world.
2. Secondly, be cautious of changes in the "marriage and love threshold": love and marriage that are "sincere, but ordinary" become unattractive.
On one hand, for some big shots, the cost-effectiveness of marriage is low; the choices that wealth brings allow them to have enough resources to maintain multiple relationships without the constraints of marriage. Traditional family relationships are weakened, non-marital childbearing is on the rise, and "romantic relationships" are seen as "asset allocations" that can be swapped out at any time.
On the other hand, for vassals, after experiencing the attraction of high-value resources, luxurious living, and prestigious status, it is difficult to accept an ordinary marriage and life with an average person, leading to a psychological gap. The model of marriage and romance has become speculative and investment-oriented, even turning into a shortcut across social classes. Some people may also develop "illusion of choice" and "gambler's mentality," thus missing out on long-term stable marriages.
3. Finally, beware of changes in the "threshold of life": it is difficult to accept that "the ordinary is the only answer" in life.
On one hand, after experiencing a life of indulgence and luxury, it is difficult to return to a mundane and boring daily life; without stimulation, there is no happiness. Many people consequently fall into emotional and psychological problems, such as the common "bipolar disorder."
On the other hand, after being in the "wealth circle" for a long time, one tends to feel superior, believing they are different from ordinary people, possessing different values and lifestyles. There can even be a sense of identity superiority and self-deception: even if they haven't made a lot of money in the industry, they are unwilling to admit that they are just ordinary people.
——————————————————
After seeing the extreme options, the ordinary options become unattractive, but the extreme options are not available to everyone on a sustainable basis. As a result, practitioners in industries such as the currency circle can easily fall into a "suspended state", unable to go up or down, floating in the air, and not stepping on the ground.
"When the water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes." This calls on everyone to be wary of the risks associated with changes in cognitive thresholds. Live and work like a normal person to maintain both physical and mental health, and reap a happy life.
