Feng Shui has become the final psychological defense line.

Author: Xiao Bing, Deep Tide TechFlow

Every year on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Bing gets up early to visit the world's number one God of Wealth Temple at Beigaofeng in Hangzhou.

Originally thinking it would be a crowded scene with a lot of aunties and uncles, upon arrival, I found that amidst the swirling smoke, there were all familiar faces kneeling.

On the left was a well-known whistleblower KOL, on the right was someone from a community focused on trading, and there were several tech industry newcomers who usually talk about "decentralization," now sincerely knocking their heads in prayer. At that moment, all the algorithmic consensus and Federal Reserve movements couldn't compare to the three incense sticks in hand.

In the past two years, metaphysics has become the "mainstream" in the crypto world. If you are still looking at candlestick charts, it means you are still a classic retail investor; true insiders are now looking at BaZi.

A trader familiar with various macro indicators in the crypto space has also turned to metaphysics, recently calculating the BaZi for BTC, and the outlook was grim: Fire clashes with the treasury, 2026 (Bing Wu) will be Bitcoin's darkest hour. Scared, I quickly checked my wallet, but fortunately, there were no coins in it.

I remember Alen, a partner at crypto VC y2z Ventures, once bluntly stated that one of the core competitive advantages of their fund is "reading faces." In the past, everyone focused on due diligence (DD), looking at code audits and business models; now it's different. First, they check if the founder has a "wealth-losing face," and then they look at whether the project's name has any Feng Shui conflicts.

Recently, during a trip to Shenzhen, I found that the standard equipment for traders and KOLs isn't some data terminal; they all have a "Feng Shui consultant" behind them.

Don't laugh; this tactic really works in the crypto world. Xiao Bing knows a boss of a Hong Kong-listed company who is a devout believer in Feng Shui, donating real money to temples, possibly more than the company's R&D investment.

And what was the result? It seems Feng Shui brought him benefactors; he started buying Bitcoin in 2023 and made hundreds of millions by hoarding Bitcoin. Later, riding the narrative wave of DAT (crypto treasury reserves), the company's stock price doubled… Although everyone knows this is called "survivorship bias," it can't be denied that he really made a fortune.

There are also plenty of negative examples. A certain KOL with a frog avatar has a Feng Shui consultant who advised him not to make any moves recently, but he couldn't resist playing contracts and ended up getting completely liquidated.

Regarding this matter, it's not entirely superstition.

In our traditional land civilization, the focus is on farming: plant a grain in spring, harvest thousands in autumn, emphasizing certainty. But what does maritime civilization face? Storms and unknown seas.

Why do people along the southeastern coast worship Mazu? Not out of ignorance, but because on the vast ocean, besides experience and technology, you need something else.

The crypto world is essentially a modern version of the "Age of Exploration." It faces bottomless waters and sudden storms. Humans, when confronted with great randomness and volatility, tend to seek supernatural spiritual anchors.

When candlestick charts fail, and a single tweet from Musk, Trump, or CZ can influence the market, Feng Shui has become the last psychological defense line. This isn't ignorance; it's a natural instinctive response of humans when facing significant wealth fluctuations.

After all, when your assets can fluctuate by 50% in a day, you need to believe in something to get a good night's sleep. As for whether the God of Wealth understands blockchain, does it really matter?
