What is it like to trade cryptocurrencies in a second-tier city?

Yesterday, I went to my hometown to attend my cousin's wedding. It was supposed to be a festive day, but it became a little subtle because of the concern of some relatives. When they saw me, they showed a cautious expression on their faces and reminded me earnestly: "Be careful, don't get involved."

Faced with such concern, I was very helpless. I explained to them that Bitcoin is already legal in the United States, and Hong Kong is gradually accepting it. In the mainland, although it is not advocated, it is not explicitly opposed. I tried to make them understand that cryptocurrency is not the scourge they imagined.

In fact, the legitimacy of cryptocurrency is gradually increasing worldwide. Some states in the United States have recognized the legal status of Bitcoin, and Hong Kong is also actively exploring the regulatory framework of digital currency. These changes are undoubtedly an affirmation of the value of cryptocurrency.

However, for relatives living in second-tier cities, cryptocurrency is still a distant and unfamiliar concept. Their concerns and misunderstandings are actually fear of the unknown. This made me realize that there is still a long way to go in the popularization and education of cryptocurrency.

Although the reminders of the elders are well-intentioned, they also reflect the cognitive differences between modern society. They care about us in their own way, even though this way may conflict with our cognition.

Just like my parents, they know that I am speculating in cryptocurrencies, but they always hope that I can find a stable job. In a second-tier city with an average monthly salary of several thousand, I don’t know what I can do, and I don’t want to go far away. It is also a blessing to be able to accompany my family.
