You know that look people give you when they don't understand crypto? That mix of confusion, skepticism, and maybe a little concern? Yeah, that's exactly what non-crypto folks have on their faces watching us ride this rollercoaster. They see the volatility, the all-nighters tracking charts, the obsession with new projects, and they just can't wrap their heads around it. Meanwhile, we're over here treating every market swing like it's the most natural thing in the world. The gap between the crypto-curious and the crypto-committed has never been more real.

Family, this is fate. They will never understand why we stare at the K-line and smile in the middle of the night.

Haha, the look in my family members' eyes when they see us is really priceless, like looking at fools --- To be honest, they will never understand why we can stay so calm about the decline --- It's this sense of disconnect; no matter how much I explain, they just can't get it --- Chart man vs normal people, they're simply in different worlds --- My mom also looks at me like that, asking every time there's a rise or fall if I've lost money --- NGLe, people in the crypto circle and those outside are truly two different species --- So, the people who understand you best are your own.

Haha, I was asked about it again at the relatives' dinner... I really can't understand that look To be honest, the way we look at K-line charts is indeed a bit "crazy" Crypto people and ordinary people are just two different species... Alright, let them understand it slowly. We'll make money first Another 24 hours without sleep, my mom thought I was depressed This wave of volatility? No big deal, I'm numb to it all haha Ordinary people will never understand our happiness Family doesn't believe I can turn things around with this... time will tell

Haha, really, my mom's look when she sees me staring at the screen in the middle of the night is priceless. --- So they simply don't understand this kind of happiness. --- ngl, this gap really can't be bridged... once you're hooked, you can never go back. --- Family and friends all think I'm crazy, haha. --- Volatility is just our daily routine, what's so strange about that? --- Oh my god, you're so right. That look is so familiar to me. --- I'm increasingly feeling like I'm not on the same wavelength as ordinary people.

NGL family, the way you look at us is truly incredible. I can interpret that gaze as three meanings: silly, crazy, hopeless.

Family members see me as a lunatic, and I won't explain anymore. Anyway, they will never get this happiness.

It's just that I see through it but don't expose it. When big funds are accumulating at the bottom, these people also don't understand. Once on-chain data reverses, they follow the trend to enter. The distribution of chips determines everything; technical indicators can be deceptive, but the flow of funds won't lie.

lol You're so right. My mom looks at me staring at the screen in the middle of the night like I'm crazy. ngl This gap is really huge, they just can't grasp this kind of excitement. My family still advises me not to play, but I'm already numb haha. Actually, we are the ones who understand the future, they will get it eventually. What's wrong with volatility? This is life, brother.
