There's this interesting paradox in crypto trading culture worth unpacking. On one hand, people say the market will mature and evolve—become less volatile, more rational. But then you look at what actually drives participation: the rush of possibility, the shot at generational wealth, and yeah, the equally real possibility of significant losses.

The truth is, for many traders, crypto isn't just about investment returns. It's the raw exposure to outsized gains or outsized risks. That tension between hope and ruin? That's unlikely to disappear. The market may add more sophisticated tools, better infrastructure, stricter oversight—but the fundamental human impulses underneath? Those stay pretty consistent. What evolves is how we dress it up, not necessarily what it fundamentally is.

Basically, human nature remains unchanged. No matter how overwhelming the infrastructure is, it can't change this fact.

That's so true, this is the real truth of our circle... human nature can't be changed.

That's right, no matter how much leverage tools or cutting-edge infrastructure are added, ultimately it's human nature causing the trouble.

In essence, no matter how much infrastructure is built or regulations are added, it's still the same human nature. The game of cutting and being cut just wears a different skin. Just for your reference.

You're right, putting a fancy shell on it is still the same old story.

Basically, human nature doesn't change. No matter how many tools there are, they can't change the heart of a gambler.
