Many people compare the crypto world to a financial hell, while others say it is a treacherous bridge to rise from the bottom. But once you truly enter, you realize—it's neither purgatory nor a ladder to heaven, but a "time accelerator" that locks you in.

Take $BTC, $ETH, and $BNB as examples. The daily market fluctuations of a single coin can cause emotional swings that most people won't experience in a year.

At 9 a.m., just entering the market, a coin rises 3%. You feel so assured: "This is a sure thing." By 12 p.m., the gains hit double digits, and your mind starts planning—buying a new phone, meeting friends, when to pick up the car keys at year’s end?

At 3 p.m., the market begins to adjust, and the 10% profit you just made evaporates by half. You stare fixedly at the intraday chart, your fingers stiff. By 6 p.m., a sell-off hits, your account turns red, and you keep debating: should I cut losses? Will it rebound?

At 1 a.m., your stop-loss order executes, realizing the loss. You stare blankly at your phone screen, all the items you added to your shopping cart are deleted.

This entire emotional cycle of "hope to expectation to greed to doubt to panic to collapse"—others might go through it five times in a lifetime, but in the crypto world, a person can cycle through it five times in a single day.

The most heartbreaking part isn't losing money, but how it changes your perception of time. While normal people look at daily K-line charts, you’re watching real-time 1-minute charts; while office workers focus on monthly salary, you’re calculating hourly earnings; while professionals wait a year for a raise, you might lose or win hundreds of thousands in a single afternoon.

High volatility not only impacts your account but directly reshapes your life rhythm—making "speed" the only tempo. Eventually, you lose even the ability to slow down.
