Your worthless ex and the trash coins you lost have one thing in common: you.

You are not a double loser, but rather repeating the same pattern.

First sweet and loving, then disappear without a trace

The person who drank a glass of wine and said you were his soulmate has now become the project team, and after the transaction, he calls you “early believer.”

They all showered you with attention when you hadn’t given anything yet. They numb your judgment with a false sense of intimacy. Once they get what they want, the person disappears.

In both cases, you treated others’ attention as real money.

“You have to trust me”

Your ex said, “I don’t have to tell you where I went last night, you have to trust me,” and now it’s a group of anonymous teams saying, “For safety reasons, we cannot disclose our identities, but please trust us that we can raise 50 million dollars.”

Both sides require you to believe without reservation, exhibit aggression towards questioning, and make you feel that wanting to understand basic information is unreasonable.

Remember, if you easily trust others, the one who gets hurt will always be yourself.

On and off

Your ex always shows up when they need you and disappears when they don’t. Now it’s the project team; after the project goes live, there’s no news, and just before the token unlocks, they become active again.

They treat every contact as a transaction, seeing you as a resource to be exploited rather than a person they genuinely care about. They all think that when they come back, you will still be obediently waiting.

Make big promises

Promised to take you out to play, but never delivered. The beautiful future of promises always remains just words.

You are now chasing an investment roadmap that is fundamentally impossible to realize. The partner will “announce soon”, and the project “will be usable after one more update.”

You’re in a relationship with a roadmap that paints a pretty picture, just like you’re in a relationship with a person’s “potential.”

Brainwashing control

When you question their obvious lies, you are instead told that you are too sensitive.

Now, when you question the potential risks of a project, you are labeled as “not understanding the vision” or “trying to create a narrative.”

In two situations, you who discover the problem become the problem instead. They make you doubt your own judgment rather than questioning their actions.

A magical creature that appears when you need it.

When they only reply to you when they need something, you can always help them find a reasonable excuse.

Now the project team has disappeared for several weeks, and they suddenly become active when it’s time to vote or pull liquidity, yet you are still making excuses for them.

They all treat contacting you as a transaction, only remembering you when they need something.

Closed Isothermal Layer

Your ex will gradually cut off your connections with friends who “don’t understand your relationship.”

Now you are trapped in the project’s community, and questioning will get you labeled as a “hater” or a “troll.”

Both are creating information cocoons, treating outside voices as threats. They both understand that isolated individuals are easiest to control.

Secretly preparing to run away

When they were being ambiguous with their ex, they said “It’s nothing,” but in fact, they were already preparing to break free.

Now the project team designs a complex token lock-up mechanism, but secretly left a backdoor; essentially, it is the same.

By the time you realize it, the person has already left, and you are the only one left to bear the consequences.

The truth you need to hear

Your emotional blind spot is turning into your wallet black hole.

You need recognition too much, so you’re easily trapped by sweet words.

The anxiety of fearing to miss out on opportunities can trap you in bad relationships and worthless projects.

You always struggle to set boundaries for yourself, which is clearly reflected in both your relationships and investments.

You always look at potential rather than reality, resulting in both emotional and financial setbacks.

What you need is not a better dating app, nor the next potential project.

You need to understand that the red flags in relationships and the alarms in investments are essentially the same.

Because the problem is never with the other party.

Maybe it’s time to take a good look at yourself.
