USD 20,000, USD 30,000, USD 40,000, USD 45,000, USD 49,500…

US$49,000, US$48,000, US$47,000, US$46,000…

Since the second half of 2020, the price of Bitcoin has risen beyond imagination, approaching the $50,000 mark during the Spring Festival. However, only a few days later, the price of Bitcoin fell rapidly again, falling below the $46,000 mark on February 15.

Digital currencies such as Ethereum and Dogecoin are the same, playing a roller coaster.

Behind the skyrocketing rise and fall, the “Amber” people also showed the appearance of beings: some people relayed the “message” of the dealer and kept persuading people to buy; some people lost tens of thousands of dollars in blood overnight and tried to leave the market; there are more Xiaobai eager to try and prepare to “buy the bottom” “.

The person who delivers the “message”

In Amber, there are a group of people who deliver “message”.

“Get on the train at the speed of XX coins, ready to pull the offer, everyone gets on the train depending on the situation! Receive a reply!”

The person speaking above is called Brother Hei. He is the leader of a certain information community in Amber, and he is also a member of a certain alliance in Amber. The alliance is specifically responsible for finding retail investors to help bookmakers pull. They refer to the pull activity as “projects” or “messages”, and the currencies to be pulled as “message coins”.

Ergou also promoted the “message”. He is an exchange promoter, spreading “message coins” on the exchange’s “single group”, group friends use the exchange system to trade, he can get a part of the commission.

In the group where Zhongzheng Jun belongs, there are still many unidentified people who constantly “flick” retail investors to invest in a certain currency. For example, some people continue to recommend others to invest 10,000 yuan in a certain currency, and claim that they can get more than 100 coins a day in more than 300 days, and eventually get more than 30,000 coins.

However, can “message coins” be bought?

When they rise, they will show off their credit in the group. “Everyone who listens to me has earned 15%.” “I have many apprentices, and they all live in villas now!”

When it fell, they emphasized that “a drop is a good time to increase positions”, and they continue to persuade their friends to buy.

Other risks may be hidden behind this. A group of friends reported that in the dialog with a certain person, there was always a system prompt: “There may be risks in the exchange of funds with the other party. Please pay attention to verify your identity. You must confirm by phone when it involves remittance and transfer, and beware of fraud.”

Retail sentient beings

At the other end of Amber, there are retail investors of various colors: some of them have their assets soaring, and a lot of people have blood loss when they get on the car. Xiaobai, who knows nothing but is eager to try, accounts for the vast majority.

A Fei, 25, used 100,000 yuan to speculate coins a year ago. After repeated operations, he now has nearly 600,000 yuan in assets.

However, Liu, who is over 40 years old, made a random purchase on the recommendation of others, and his assets shrank by 60% overnight. “Unexpectedly, it fell too bad overnight. XX coins fell from 1 yuan to 1 cent, and XX coins fell from 4 yuan to 5 cents! It feels like gambling!” Old Liu said angrily.

More is Xiaobai, imagining the dream of making money lying down. For example, Xiao Wei, a 20-year-old sophomore.

“Stocks are boring, middle-aged people and the elderly only play. The heartbeat is the heartbeat!” Xiaowei said earlier that he was preparing to buy some two altcoins. However, the candlestick chart shows that “Socrates has no bottom”, and the two currencies that Xiaowei wanted to buy bottom fell even worse.

Expert tips beware of risks

The price of virtual currency has fluctuated sharply recently, and the passion of “amber” people has also been quickly ignited.

Behind the ups and downs, there are not a few people who have lost their money. According to data from the Bitcoin Home Network, as of 11:30 on February 15th, a total of more than 250,000 people had liquidated their positions within 24 hours, with the liquidated amount exceeding 10 billion yuan.

In the mixed “amber”, it may also imply a trap for illegal fund-raising. On February 5, the Local Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau of Henan Province issued a risk warning that virtual currency trading activities have been on the rise recently, and the public should further prevent illegal activities of “virtual currency”. On January 26, the Shenzhen Municipal Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau also reminded investors to promptly report relevant clues to violations of laws and regulations to prevent being deceived.

Regarding digital currency investment, many industry experts said that the current market sentiment is unstable and investment risks are still high.
