In the cryptocurrency community, you will frequently see certain styles of presentation. This is not accidental, nor is it a trend in aesthetics, but rather a survival method forced out of the industry under external pressure.



**The Compression of Expression Space**

What does content competition in normal industries rely on? Information richness, professional depth, and judgment quality. But in the crypto field, these become sensitive areas. It's difficult to openly discuss the authenticity of projects, to boldly analyze price trends, or to promise any returns, and even the wording must be cautious everywhere.

When an industry loses the ability to speak facts, what can it produce? Only attention itself. In the battle for attention, the most basic, effective, and least explanatory medium becomes obvious. This also explains why certain content formats repeatedly appear.

**The Disappearance of the "Middle Ground"**

Criticizing crypto content as vulgar is actually a misjudgment. The real problem lies in: strict regulatory policies, platform rules for traffic, and the high-risk nature of the industry. Under the superimposed pressures, almost all moderate expressions are destroyed.

Professional content struggles to survive, rational analysis fails to attract traffic, direct opinions are easily restricted, and educational content has a very low conversion rate. In the end, only two extreme types remain—either all hype or pure speculative promises. There is no room for transition in between.

To be honest, this is the fate of the crypto world—caught in the middle with no way out.

You explained it so thoroughly that once regulation is a one-size-fits-all approach, the middle part will be gone.

That's so true, this is the helplessness of being caught in the middle. Honestly, I'm afraid of being censored if I tell the truth, but if I don't tell the truth, no one will listen. In the end, I can only survive by creating anxiety. In this industry, it's no longer about who is more professional.

Damn, isn't this just talking about us... Watching those exaggerated things every day, I can't even calmly analyze on-chain data. --- Exactly right, regulation is choking everything, can't say anything, only rely on gimmicks to attract attention, no wonder I always hit the top. --- It's ridiculous, wanting to have a proper discussion about the authenticity of a project, but have to talk to each individual with suspicion, and in the end, it's all extreme opinions. Rational voices in the middle are long gone. --- That's why the group is full of screenshots and insider news, no one dares to discuss the technical aspects properly, anyway, what's the point of talking if it's just for show. --- I've been burned so many times that I finally realize the entire industry is forced to just output attention. We, the retail investors, can only follow FOMO, there's no other way out. --- It's so profound that the space for expression is squeezed to nothing, so naturally only gimmicks and speculation remain. For us trying to buy the dip, it's even worse. --- Damn, you hit my nerve. Why do I always lose money? Turns out it's not that I'm bad, but the entire ecosystem is like this. --- Regulation, platforms, high risk—three-pronged attack. The middle ground has been ground down to nothing. No wonder there's no clear-headed analysis to be seen.
