Recently, I've been observing the popularity of many meme projects and thought of a question: why do we always discuss the value of projects, yet end up getting "rekt" anyway?



In fact, the underlying logic of business is quite simple—one hand focuses on emotional recognition from users, and the other on cash flow. The difference is that some pour money into creating a refined sense of passion, while others do it more roughly. To put it plainly, all high-level business revolves around balancing these two aspects, including project teams in the crypto space.

You often say that buying coins should be based on value and construction, but what is the reality? Isn't every project pursuing short-term profits? Teams, investors, operations—each link is chasing immediate returns. The difference is that some pretend to be building for the long term, while others just take a quick profit and leave. Essentially, this is the same logic as retail investors getting trapped.

So instead of worrying about whether you've been "rekt" or not, it's better to think about how to upgrade your understanding. Your level of cognition determines how much you can earn in this market. If you want to get rich by 2026, instead of waiting for the next big trend, open up your perspective and understand the true motives of market participants. Once your awareness is in place, opportunities will naturally follow.

In the new year, let's improve together and earn together.

Honestly, cognition of this thing is just a false proposition. Those who truly make money never rely on understanding some principle thoroughly. Whether it's a fancy scam or a straightforward cut, the essence is the same—it's all about taking, so why deceive ourselves? By the way, making a fortune in 2026... let's survive this year first, haha.

It's true, but it's too idealistic. I've heard the cognitive upgrade spiel countless times, but the ones that can really make money are still the information gap and luck.

You're not wrong; being cognitively behind is how you're cut. --- Listening to that long-term development plan makes me want to fall asleep. --- The core is information asymmetry; it's all about psychology. --- So, instead of waiting for opportunities, it's better to upgrade your mind first. --- Meme projects are basically gambling; don't overthink it. --- That sounds nice, but the ones really making money are still that group. --- Lacking awareness, even the best opportunities are just for the little guys. --- Someone should have torn through this layer of paper long ago. --- In one sentence, living is like being cut. --- I like the mindset of broadening your perspective; it's better than those shouting slogans.

Exactly right, cognition is truly the top-tier armor. Without it, just looking at the candlestick chart is like committing suicide.

Damn, it's the same old story. Who doesn't know that the crypto world is a game of information asymmetry? Upgrading awareness is one thing, but without money, it's all pointless. I've seen through it long ago—project teams and retail investors are like wolves and sheep. In the end, it's still just gambling with luck; don't talk about those illusions. Getting rich in 2026? Let's survive 2025 first. There's nothing wrong with that statement, but knowing and doing are two different things. It's all套路 (套路 = tricks/ploys); it all depends on who runs faster. No matter how big the pattern, without positions, it's all useless. Year after year, "earning together"—whose money are we really making? I just can't understand why people keep playing this game.
