This phenomenon is indeed interesting. Why do we often hear about people in the crypto space getting rich and then retreating completely, while such stories are rare in the stock market?

Upon closer reflection, several reasons may be intertwined. The crypto market is highly volatile, with rapid wealth creation; within a single cycle, it’s possible to achieve several times the gains, which easily leads to the desire to take profits promptly after reaching a goal. Although stock market returns are more stable, the cycles are longer, and becoming extremely wealthy is itself a low-probability event. Additionally, success stories in the crypto community tend to be amplified and widely shared, whereas individual wealth changes in the stock market are more likely to be kept low-profile.

Another detail worth paying attention to — after October 11, many crypto content creators reported a significant drop in traffic. Is this due to the market’s calm trend leading to decreased interest, or did platform algorithms undergo adjustments? Or both? Honestly, it’s hard to completely separate these two factors. When the market is dull, user engagement drops, and traffic naturally wanes; but if the algorithms also changed simultaneously, the impact could be even more noticeable. These two reasons often reinforce each other.
