480,000 Brother

Once I paid attention to Bitcoin, a few years ago when it was experiencing the most volatility. I read a post in the Bitcoin section of Baidu Tieba. At that time, Bitcoin skyrocketed to 8,000 yuan. A man, concealing it from his parents and fiancée, used the down payment for a house and a large portion of his wedding money totaling 400,000 yuan, to buy 50 Bitcoins. He commented in the post:
"Let’s take a gamble! If luck is on my side, getting a loan for the house will be easy!" The other users in the post all gave him a thumbs up, saying it was guaranteed to rise steadily, "Bro, you’re amazing!" There were a few individuals who reminded him not to go too far.
Because he had hidden it from his family and threw all his possessions into the Bitcoin market, that guy updated the value status in the post every day, sharing his feelings. Naturally, the post attracted more and more attention, and everyone helped him with his doubts, cheering him on.
Not long after, a series of negative news broke out. Several countries successively denied the monetary value of Bitcoin, and there were even reports of Bitcoin trading platforms shutting down and owners running away. - At that time, people were anxious, and the value of Bitcoin plummeted from 8,000 yuan to over 2,000 yuan, fluctuating at a low level.
At this time, the people in the Tieba were like they had been injected with adrenaline, frantically attacking and mocking that man.
"Are you an idiot! Hahahahahahaha"
"I said you couldn’t play like this a long time ago, let’s see how you get married!"
"Hahahahahaha I've been waiting for this day!" "Host, come out, come out and walk a few steps!"
"Bro, are you still alive?"
Back then, the term "face-slapping" hadn’t become popular yet. Everyone was acting like they were crazy, their faces twisted in mockery of this man, and you could see their excited and terrified faces laughing miserably across the screen.
The man still occasionally updated the post, mostly describing his life situation, like how to lie to his fiancée and parents, and who to borrow money from to make up for the loss of hundreds of thousands.
A few more days passed, and the man updated less and less, but whenever he spoke, there were always people cursing and mocking him. The last update was approximately:
"I don’t dare go home, I don’t dare answer my girlfriend’s calls. I really don’t know what to do, laugh as you please."
Since then, that person never appeared in the Tieba again.
