A Hotcoin user wrote in his blog:

Scroll through social media and everyone looks like a winner in life. But talk to them privately, and the story changes—complaints about exhaustion, frustration, and struggle spill out. The truth is, we all know this game: people show the polished side to the world while swallowing their bitterness in silence. You say you’re tired, he says he’s struggling, but no one can ever truly feel the weight of another’s pain. As the saying goes, human joys and sorrows do not connect.

We working people often think the grass is greener elsewhere. But is there really such a thing as a perfect life? More often, it’s just that some keep eating dirt and pushing forward, turning hardship into fertilizer until, eventually, their own grassland begins to grow.

Even the idea of “reality” sometimes feels illusory. That breathtaking sunset? Just light tricking the brain. The endless scrolling, sleepless nights, and workplace rat races—aren’t they just another simulation, another dungeon run inside a system we can’t escape? Life is a play, and we’re all actors, performing roles until the curtain falls.

Shakespeare captured this centuries ago: life is “a walking shadow… a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Orwell was even more blunt: “So long as they continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern. Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult…”

And yet, despite endless grinds in work routine, relentless competition, and the crushing weight of capitalism, it is workers who keep the world running. Their exhaustion and struggle deserve not just to be seen, but to be changed.

Perhaps a new option is worth considering: crypto and Web3. Not as a miracle of overnight wealth, but as a chance to step outside the traditional trap—to rebuild rules with code, reclaim ownership of our time, and redefine the value of our labor. Maybe this is the new outlet our generation of workers has been searching for. On a platform like Hotcoin, we are not just trading for tomorrow—we are participating in a digital revolution, writing a new script for our own lives.

Response from Hotcoin

Reading this piece, we were deeply moved. It captures a truth that many in our generation feel but seldom express—that life often feels like a constant performance, a cycle of labor and survival, where the “highlight reels” of social media mask the exhaustion beneath. The reflections on Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Orwell’s 1984 remind us how timeless this struggle is: the search for meaning, the weight of systems, and the quiet resilience of those who keep the world turning.

But what stands out most in your words is not despair, but a spark of possibility. This reminds us that grasslands don’t exist without soil—sometimes even “dirt” and hardship become the foundation for growth.

At Hotcoin, we believe the same. Crypto and Web3 are not magic escapes from reality, but they are tools to challenge the status quo, to rebuild systems of value, and to give individuals back agency over their time, their work, and their worth.

This is why Hotcoin exists:

To provide a secure, fair, and open trading environment for millions of users.
To ensure that innovation in finance is not reserved for the few, but accessible to all.
To empower individuals—students, workers, dreamers—with opportunities to participate in shaping the digital economy.

The story is a reminder that behind every trade and every chart is a real human life—full of struggle, resilience, and hope. And while none of us can escape the “stage” of life, together we can choose to rewrite the script.
