Even Satoshi Nakamoto has to bow to the God of Wealth.

Every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xiaobing will get up early in the morning to go to the world’s first wealth temple in the northern peak of Hangzhou.

I originally thought I was going to squeeze out my head with my aunts and uncles, but when I arrived at the scene, I saw that the people kneeling in the smoke were all acquaintances.

On the left is a well-known KOL who broke the news, on the right is a plate community, and a few upstarts in the technology circle who are usually full of “decentralization”, are striking their heads reverently at this moment. At that moment, no algorithm consensus or Fed movement could withstand the three pillars of incense in hand.

In the past two years, metaphysics has become the “prominent learning” of the currency circle. If you are still looking at the K-line chart, it means that you are still a classical leek, a real old iron, and you are now looking at the horoscope.

A cryptocurrency trader who is familiar with various macro indicators finally embarked on the road of metaphysics, and recently calculated the horoscope for BTC, and the big thing is not good: the fire treasury, 2026 (Bingwu) is the darkest moment for Bitcoin. I was so scared that I quickly glanced at my wallet, but fortunately, there was no coin in it.

I still remember that Alen, a partner at crypto VC y2z Ventures, once bluntly said that one of the core competitiveness of his fund is to “look at faces”. In the past, everyone did due diligence (DD), looking at code audits, looking at business models, but now it’s different, first look at whether the founder has a “broken face”, and then see if the feng shui of the project name is offensive.

Recently, I went to Shenzhen and found that the standard equipment of traders and KOLs is not a data terminal, but a “feng shui consultant” standing behind it.

Don’t laugh, this trick is really easy to use in the currency circle. Xiaobing knew that the boss of a Hong Kong-listed company, who was a devout feng shui believer, donated real money to the temple, and the donation money may be more than the company’s R&D investment.

The result? In 2023, he started buying Bitcoin and earned hundreds of millions of dollars by hoarding Bitcoin, and later caught up with the narrative wave of DAT (Crypto Treasury Reserve), and the company’s stock price doubled… Although everyone knows that this is called “survivor bias”, it is really rich that people can’t stand it.

There are also many negative examples, a frog avatar revelation KOL also has a feng shui consultant, telling him not to move recently, he just itched to play with the contract, and as a result, the position was neatly exploded.

Regarding this, it is actually not entirely superstition.

Our traditional land civilization pays attention to farming, planting a grain of corn in spring and harvesting ten thousand seeds in autumn, focusing on a certainty. But what does the marine civilization face? It is a storm and an unknown sea.

Why do people on the southeast coast worship Mazu? Not because of ignorance, but because in the vast sea, you have to have something else besides experience and technology.

The currency circle is essentially a modern version of the “Age of Discovery”. Faced with bottomless sea water and storms that come as it speaks. Humans are like this, and the more they face great randomness and fluctuations, the more they need to find supernatural spiritual anchors.

When the K-line chart fails and Musk, Trump and CZ can affect the market with any tweet, feng shui becomes the last psychological line of defense. This is not ignorance, this is the instinctive stress response of human beings in the face of huge wealth fluctuations.

After all, when your assets can fluctuate by 50% in a day, you have to believe something to sleep. As for whether the God of Wealth understands blockchain, does it matter?
