A few days ago, I saw a pretty amusing scene: some foreigner was having a heated debate with CZ about whether gold or Bitcoin is a better investment, sounding very convincing. But then I looked closer—this guy was wearing a T-shirt with some altcoin’s logo on it.

The whole thing was surreal. He’s talking about the battle between traditional assets and digital currencies, but he’s blatantly advertising on his chest. That’s when I fully realized that many so-called “thought leaders” in the crypto space are really just performers. Principles? They don’t exist—whoever pays them gets their support.

All this talk about tokenized gold and Bitcoin showdowns basically comes down to everyone having their own vested interests. On the surface, it’s a discussion about investment philosophy, but in reality, everyone’s calculating their own gains. These days, without some profit motive, who would bother arguing with you about these grand theories? Once you see through this, you’ll understand why there’s always so much drama in this space.
