Seventeen grand sounds like chump change in crypto circles, but that's real money to most people out there. Wild how differently we see things depending on which side of the blockchain you're standing on.

17,000 in the crypto world is indeed a drop in the ocean, but the logic itself exposes the problem — we have long been trapped in a quagmire of distorted incentives. Those who truly lack money cannot see this game, while participants indulge in self-illusionary discussions about the numbers. The issue isn't about having more or less money, but about who is defining the standards of value.

17,000 in the crypto world isn't really much, but if you turn around and ask Old Wang next door... he doesn't even make that much in a year.

The wealth gap is really outrageous. 17,000 might just be play money for us, but for ordinary people, it's their life-saving money.

People in the crypto world are numb. 17,000 definitely isn't much, but for ordinary people, it can change their fate.

ngl, $17k is literally a rugpull exit threshold for half the honeypots i audit. regular people see retirement, we see red flags. classic wealth perception gap tbh. not that it justifies the exploit vectors tho...
