This issue sounds exciting, but it's also the easiest to lead people astray. Money in the crypto world indeed comes quickly, but very few people actually get to hold it in their hands.



**Why is the earning speed in the crypto world so fast?**

In traditional stock markets, it usually takes at least ten years for a stock to multiply tenfold. But in the crypto world, this process is crazily compressed. Over just a few years, months, or even shorter cycles, you can see tenfold or even hundredfold increases.

Let me give two classic examples. In 2010, a programmer used 10,000 Bitcoins to buy two pizzas. By 2021, those Bitcoins were worth over $600 million. Imagine turning a dinner into a small fortune—that's how fast it can happen. There's also Ethereum, which was less than $1 per coin during its 2014 ICO, and soared to $4,000 at its peak in 2021. Early investors experienced a class leap during one bull market cycle.

So in the crypto world, earning 100 million yuan might just take one bull market cycle, or even a three-month rally.

**But that's the problem.**

Things that can make you 100 million yuan in three months can also wipe you out in three days. This is not an exaggeration. In 2022, the collapse of LUNA saw its market cap plummet from hundreds of billions of dollars to nearly zero within a week. People who had tens of millions the day before woke up to find everything gone. There's also FTX, which was hailed as the "Wall Street of crypto," that suddenly went bankrupt, locking up hundreds of millions of investors' funds. Those planning to celebrate with champagne turned around and joined the rights protection groups.

Opportunities and traps are often just one trading cycle apart.

Pizza Guy's move was really incredible. Thinking about it now, it's a vivid history of blood, sweat, and tears.

The crypto world is like this: you can make quick profits but also lose quickly. Most people are just here to give away their money.

To be honest, hearing the story of the pizza a thousand times still feels like a regret, but that night with LUNA, watching so many people jump from the top floor to the basement, it was truly... waking up to find your account reset to zero is an unimaginable feeling.
