In recent days, the news about "13 departments jointly issuing documents to combat encrypted speculation" has been making waves on social media. Many friends have privately messaged me asking: "What should we do? Can we still play in the future? I'm a bit worried about the inflow and outflow of funds. Is it going to be completely over?"

Actually, rather than anxiously waiting for others to give answers, it's better for us to calm down and think through a few key questions. The answers will naturally come out.

A simple assumption

Let's take an example. If the village chief is really determined to completely ban this matter, what is the simplest, most direct, and most effective means he has?

It's very simple, just three steps:

1. Root cutting: Directly seal off the servers of those 'exchanges' (like OKEx and Binance), preventing villagers from connecting at all.

2. Set rules: Introduce 'village regulations' clearly stating 'whoever trades U will be tied up and face the wall for three years; whoever holds BTC will face penalties based on quantity'.

3. Confiscation: Declare all profits from trading coins as illegal income, directly confiscate and incorporate it into collective village assets.

If these three moves really come together, it would definitely be a 'nuclear strike', and the crypto circle would cool down in no time.

What is reality like?

But let's look back, after all these years, have those mainstream exchanges really been completely banned and rendered inaccessible? Not really, right?

Why?

Is it technically impossible? Clearly not. Look at the Hong Kong stock brokerages, which don't support mainland identities and have directly implemented a blanket ban.

So why hasn’t this been done to cryptocurrencies? The reasons may be complex, but at least they indicate several facts:

1. Risk assessment: Currently, buying a few coins personally is essentially 'betting and accepting losses', which does not directly harm others, nor does it severely impact our village's financial market.

2. Execution costs and returns: Currently, the 'crypto funding pool' in the village may not be significant compared to the entire economic volume. To make a big deal out of this little money, the execution cost is high, but the returns may not be substantial.

3. The default 'barrier': To some extent, this might be a default 'enclosure for self-entertainment'. As long as you don’t cause major trouble and don’t affect the overall situation, just play in this 'circle'.

📢 The true meaning of 'notification'

So, the 'notification' issued this time is more like a 'risk warning' and a 'statement of position'.

Its underlying message is:

* For outsiders: 'Listen to me, don’t come in! This thing is risky, don’t just jump in!'

* For insiders: 'I’m watching! If you behave, I won’t touch you; but if you cause trouble or if the situation requires it, I can deal with you anytime. Your money is theoretically also not guaranteed.'

Its core purpose is not to 'immediately eliminate' but to 'dissuade newcomers' and 'control the speed of spread'.

💡 Why are there still more and more people?

Since the higher-ups do not encourage it, and even issue warnings, why is the coin price still rising, with more and more people entering?

Because of human nature and real-world demands.

1. Temptations around you: Your friend used to ride a bicycle, now drives a Land Rover; will you still remember that 'risk warning'? Most likely, you’ve long thrown it to the back of your mind. Nothing awakens people more than 'poverty' and 'jealousy'; nothing makes them more willing to take risks.

2. The world's 'insurance policy': For many people, buying a little BTC is not about 'dreaming of getting rich', but rather a form of 'insurance'.

* Think about it, when the wealth of several generations in a place can be confiscated or reduced to nothing overnight;

* When the homeland is destroyed, gold cannot be taken, cash becomes worthless;

* At this time, being able to turn assets into a string of code to take away is the last lifeline.

BTC is a 'globally applicable insurance policy' for those who lack a sense of security. The more people in the world who purchase this policy, the more valuable it naturally becomes.

3. A more reliable 'money house': Your money stored in a bank may not be retrievable in extreme situations (this has happened before); but BTC, this 'digital money house', will not run away, will not default, as long as you keep your private key safe, it will always belong to you and always be trustworthy.

📝 To summarize

So, back to the initial question: 'Can we still play?'

* If you are not short of money and do not lack a sense of security, then you may really not need it.

* But if you see the risks and recognize the demand— not only for investment but also for asset isolation and protection against extreme risks— then buying a little and holding it as part of your asset allocation seems reasonable to me.

The reasoning is actually quite simple:

You don't need to get tangled up in whether 'the policy allows it or not', but rather look at 'whether the world needs it or not'.

As long as there is turmoil in the world, as long as there is injustice and concerns about the safety of wealth, as long as this demand is growing, the value support of BTC is there.

Those who can understand this logic will naturally get it; those who can act on it will naturally do so.

After all, BTC was never meant for those who 'never worry about the future'. It is a lamp prepared for those who long for hope and seek security.

Do you need this lamp?
