#数字货币市场洞察 Today I came across an article that left me feeling terrible after reading it. It was full of empty official jargon, which really makes you wonder: does the person who wrote this even trade crypto? Do they even understand this space?



The article's title was pretty eye-catching—“What Is the Purpose of China Cracking Down on Virtual Currencies, and How Should We Respond?” I clicked in, and wow, the whole thing was just “maintaining financial security,” “preventing systemic risk,” “protecting public assets.” It said virtual currencies are highly anonymous, cross-border, and have wild price swings, making them easy tools for illegal fundraising, money laundering, and fraud. It also claimed decentralization weakens regulation, and mining consumes too much energy, which doesn’t align with carbon neutrality goals.

Does any of that sound wrong? Not really. But the problem is—this is technically correct nonsense.

Then the article offered “countermeasures,” split into three levels with a bunch of fluff:

Individual level: Don’t touch virtual currency trading, there’s no legal protection. Beware of projects using blockchain or metaverse as scams.

Societal level: Media should warn and educate, academic institutions should do compliance research, and technology should serve the real economy.

Industry level: Tech companies should actively cooperate with regulators and avoid crypto businesses. Use blockchain for legitimate things like supply chain finance or government management.

Finally, there was a big conclusion: Everyone should understand that regulation is to create a safe financial environment, learn more about compliant knowledge like central bank digital currencies, invest money in industries and innovations supported by the state, and share the benefits of development within a legal framework.

After reading, I just want to ask: do the people writing this really understand the crypto market? Do you know how many people worldwide are trading $BTC $ETH ? Are you aware of the real use cases for these mainstream coins $BNB ?

The biggest problem with this kind of article isn’t that it’s wrong—it’s that it says nothing at all. It’s like telling you “fire is dangerous, don’t touch fire,” but human civilization started because we learned how to use fire.

What we should really be discussing is: how do we embrace technological innovation while keeping risks under control? How do we make sure ordinary people don’t get left behind in this digital wave? Not just blanket statements like “don’t touch it, it’s dangerous.”

What do you all think? Feel free to share your thoughts…

According to on-chain data, the number of daily active cryptocurrency addresses worldwide has surpassed 2 million. However, the analysis in this article remains at the stage of listing risks and lacks quantitative analysis of innovative value. It is worth noting that such articles precisely reflect the cognitive gap between traditional financial discourse and emerging protocol governance—the former focuses primarily on defense, while the latter centers on composability and transparency. From three perspectives, the core issue lies in the lack of in-depth discussion on specific metrics such as DeFi TVL, smart contract audit rates, and cross-chain interoperability.

Same old rhetoric, so annoying. I'm numb, this is a typical armchair strategist. Good question, really, these people have never traded coins. A one-size-fits-all approach is the worst, it's this kind of attitude that drives people to crypto. The whole central bank digital currency thing is just to suppress what we're playing with. The whole world is hyping BTC, but we're hiding it away. Exactly, setting a fire and people using fire are completely different things. This article is just an IQ tax. Risk is controllable? They should first figure out what risk actually means. Instead of worrying blindly, why not learn from what other countries are doing? People who understand crypto have already taken action, no point getting caught up in this.

It's the same old worn-out logic again. After all that talk, you still didn't get to the point.
