A few years ago, luxury car owners coined the term "exit feel" to describe the satisfaction they derived from the attention they received when stepping out of an expensive vehicle.
This term gained popularity among those who favored imported cars over domestic ones for their perceived prestige. Comments such as "Only German cars (Mercedes, BMW, Audi) provide true exit feel" or "Supercars offer the ultimate exit luxury, far surpassing leased cars," became common.
Recently, a post that applied this term to subway stations went viral online. It suggested that one could experience the same sense of prestige when getting off at subway stations in Gangnam, similar to that experienced when stepping out of a luxury car.
I get the same feeling when I get out of my shitty car, knowing that I didn't burn so much money in a depreciating asset. People chasing the illusion to be part of the elite is what you get in the fiat world

I wonder what will happen when "Bitcoiners" are the "elite" class.
Larping as a bitcoiner is a trojan horse to getting orange pilled......or bitcoin derangement syndrome.

I won't judge anyone for feeling any way while not bothering others, but out of curiosity I ask: do the feeling of prestige comes from people actually giving it?
reply
Not sure i understand your question...

Do people feel prestigious at being looked that way because people looking actually give that prestige?

Oh got it. I quite feel the opposite, so hard for me to answer definitely.
But i know that, overall, there is a strong longing from the lower class to join the elite. People are not content with what they have. So is it admiration or is it envy they're feeling, that's a subtle nuance that will depend on the individual.
