I have observed that some people who frequently participate in the crypto space are always on guard against being exploited, their eyes fixed only on their own little territory. This made me wonder—are we exploiting others so much that we end up trapped by our own experiences?

Perhaps this is what psychology calls projection. When you are frequently exploited, everyone seems like a "leek" just like you. When you often exploit others, everyone looks like they are plotting against you.

The longer we stay in the market, the more our eyes deceive us. We see everything that fits our expectations, and ignore other information. Sometimes it's really hard to tell—whether the market is really like this, or if we are limited by our own narrative framework.

It’s not that our minds are broken; it’s that in this era of information explosion, we are too easily defined by our own experiences. When viewing others, what we’re really doing is looking in a mirror.
