#策略性加码BTC Is it really reliable for social platforms to cross over into finance?



Recently, I've seen quite a few discussions about a major social platform planning to introduce cryptocurrency features. Honestly, I am a bit worried.

On the surface, it sounds quite tempting—things like "smart payment tags" and "one-click buying and selling" directly bringing 700 million users into the world of financial transactions. But is this really a good idea? Social platforms are originally places for information flow; forcing financial operations into them essentially confuses two completely different fields.

The lessons from history are still there: the collapse of FTX, the stablecoin storm—these are painful lessons. The volatility and speculative nature of cryptocurrencies are well known. Moving this directly into a social ecosystem, the ones who suffer the most are retail investors. Moreover, honestly, although the regulatory environment has eased somewhat, the risk attributes of crypto assets haven't changed, nor have the derivatives risks decreased.

As for the platform's original intention—frankly, it's hard not to be suspicious. The leaders of social platforms sometimes say that currencies will have no future significance, and other times praise Bitcoin's energy value, with inconsistent stances. In such a context, engaging in crypto business seems more like riding the trend, creating topics, and adding a so-called "sense of innovation," rather than genuinely wanting to provide financial services.

Ultimately, bundling social interaction with crypto trading is creating risks. Doing your proper job—connecting information and spreading content—is more important than anything else.

Speaking of which, this guy's stance is really inconsistent—sometimes belittling coins, sometimes hyping them up. I just can't see through him. Basically, he's trying to scalp the 700 million users. The tactics are the same as when Facebook was dealing with Libra—once regulation comes, they fold. Retail investors really need to be careful; the liquidity traps on social platforms are unpredictable. But I think, rather than banning this or that, it's better to understand where the risks actually lie. The FTX mess hasn't been sorted out yet, and now another one? This pace is really intense.

Here comes another round of harvesting retail investors, the social platform leader really knows how to play Basically, they just want to make quick money from this wave of popularity, retail investors are always the last to take the fall The lesson from FTX hasn't been learned yet, and now they're trying to do some financial innovation, hilarious

Haha, it's just a way to harvest retail investors by changing the shell. --- The FTX pit hasn't been filled yet, and now another one? Wake up, everyone. --- Basically, it's because retail investors are too idle, and they have to create opportunities for you to lose money. --- 700 million users? I only see 700 million lambs waiting to be slaughtered. --- One-click bankruptcy feature launched. --- The problem is that these people don't even believe in what they promote; they turn around and sell it to you. --- I bet five dollars that retail investors will still end up holding the bag in the end.
