Spend $70k on a luxury car? People throw confetti and congratulations your way.



But mention you just allocated $70k into Bitcoin? Suddenly everyone's concerned for your safety.

There's something backwards about this. Slapping money on depreciating assets gets treated like wisdom, yet building wealth through Bitcoin—an asset that's created more millionaires than most people realize—triggers skepticism and warnings.

Say what you will, but the psychology around money and wealth creation is fascinating. We celebrate consumption and question conviction.

Haha, really, no one says anything about buying luxury cars, but when it comes to investing in Bitcoin, it's all "Are you crazy?" So funny.

If I had known buying a car would be so easily praised, I wouldn't have bothered with that BTC... Now it's all good, one is seen as a fool, and the other as a lunatic.

No one makes a sound when spending 70k on a car, but when it comes to investing in Bitcoin, it's all "Are you crazy"… This is the black hole of understanding in the off-chain world, I see through it. --- Really, the early addresses that hoarded coins can now be tracked through their movement patterns. They’ve already won, but ordinary people are still worried about a rusty box with a 30% discount rate. --- Interestingly, social psychology is essentially serving the status quo... Everyone encourages you to "consume safely," yet they are extremely wary of your on-chain footprint. The power structure behind this is worth pondering. --- Haha, early crypto enthusiasts have already fully understood this game. The newcomers are still being told "the risk is too high." By the time they wake up, the capital migration has long been completed. --- How many Bitcoin millionaires are there? Just ask 100 people on the street how many know. Wake up, everyone. --- Consumption = safety + wisdom, Investment = gambler + risk. Who came up with this narrative? It’s ruthless.

Really, this society is magical. Buying a broken car everyone praises, but Bitcoin is instead seen as foolishness... --- Listen to this perspective. Instead of spending money, we like to ask others "Are you crazy?" From a psychological point of view, it's indeed absurd. --- Spending 70k on a car depreciates in value without anyone saying anything, but putting 70k into Bitcoin makes you a gambler... I just don't understand this logic. --- It's so ironic. Society loves to celebrate wastefulness but is afraid that others will truly build wealth. --- Damn, what a point—people are just such double-standard creatures. --- Makes sense. Why do people seem to react more strongly to losing money than to making money? --- Uh... this is probably why most people can never hold onto their money. Fear runs too deep. --- The consumer culture really brainwashes people completely.

Haha, that's hilarious. Buying luxury cars is considered smart, but buying Bitcoin is seen as gambling. Society's double standards are truly incredible.

Haha, laughing to death. Buying a car shows taste, buying Bitcoin is just gambling. The logic is brilliant. --- Really, spending 700,000 on a broken car is no big deal, but investing in BTC gets you discouraged. Humanity is truly interesting. --- Anyway, most people are just following the trend. No one dares to be the first to try something new. --- You're right, but on the other hand, my friend still regrets not jumping on the bandwagon back then. --- This is the difference between the comfort zone and the unknown. Basically, it's fear. --- Consumption provides instant satisfaction, while investing requires patience. Humans are naturally impatient. --- Wake up, everyone. Assets that can create wealth will always be questioned. Normal operation. --- The key is that buying a car allows you to take photos and post on social media. How do you post about BTC? That's the difference. --- So this is why most people always hover around the poverty line. --- Honest words are hard to hear, but it's true.
