Maintaining a clear understanding of human nature

I still remember the crypto circle in 2024
Everyone was hoping that Trump would be elected president
To bring favorable policies to the crypto industry, making buying $BTC a national strategy
As a result, two days before Trump took office, he first sent himself a $TRUMP coin
Then his wife Melania sent a coin
Subsequently, he also took his own $WLFI project public
On 10.11, it is said that his son Barron received insider information from Trump, shorting heavily during market crashes and making huge profits
The crypto circle did not get the good news from Trump
What they got was Trump and his family treating the crypto industry as an ATM,疯狂吸血
In fact, our retail investors' thoughts from the beginning were naive fantasies, violating the principles of human nature
Human nature is selfish and self-interested, rarely altruistic
Every choice and action made by individuals is based on maximizing their own利益
The crypto industry itself is an extremely selfish and self-interested harvesting ground, yet people expect others to act benevolently and save them
What do retail investors in the crypto industry think?
They hope Trump will attract more chives, hand them over, but didn't expect Trump to directly harvest this group of chives
So we are inherently a group of selfish individuals, yet we expect another powerful figure to act altruistically and bring benefits to us
Thinking about it now, it’s very naive and childish
Now, besides believing in Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto, I dare not believe in anyone or anything else
Because I know human nature is selfish; everyone is for their own利益, and no one will act benevolently, especially in the dark forest of the crypto industry#Gate广场创作者新春激励
