A day in the life of a crypto trader goes like this.

The first thing upon waking up is checking the funding rate, around midday watching the changes in open interest and long-short ratios, in the afternoon chasing after various narrative hotspots when there's nothing else to do, and in the evening opening 50x leverage contracts. When liquidated, they blame it on being 'liquidated by a spike,' and when they make money, they immediately boast about how 'skilled' their trading is, while casually betting on some newly launched meme coin. Once in the community groups, they rush to get the CA address, buy in, and start waiting for KOL tweets to pump the price.

When Ethereum Gas fees spike, they start cursing; when the public chain is congested, they complain angrily; with nothing to do, they curse market makers for being greedy and VCs for harvesting yields; when losing money, they blame the whales to the extreme; when there's a pump, they shout 'HODL your faith'; and when the price drops, they say it's a 'market conspiracy.' This routine repeats itself seven or eight times a day.

The bullish voices are always in their ears, the dream of breaking even hanging on their lips, with many people lining up to wait for that day to recover their losses. This is the true daily life in the crypto world, recurring again and again.
