That's the classic ENS story right there. You hold onto a decent domain, nothing—zero offers. The moment you let it slip and it expires? Suddenly everyone's knocking. Market timing at its finest. Could've sold it for way less than what people wanted to throw at it after, but that's how it goes in Web3 asset trading. The psychology of FOMO hits different when something's actually gone. Domain markets operate on their own logic—supply and demand mixed with a little human nature. Lesson learned: sometimes the best offer comes right when you're about to walk away.

Haha, this is my blood, sweat, and tears story. I almost forgot that domain name, but when it was about to expire, suddenly about ten people bid on it. That feeling was truly amazing.

ah, the scarcity transmutation at work here... watching value materialize the moment your grip loosens is basically the philosopher's stone in real-time, nah? supply shock + human panic = yield on regret. classic liquidity dynamics playing out in domain markets too. the protocol of human nature remains unoptimized.

Haha, that's the magic of Web3. The less you want to sell, the more valuable it becomes.

That's fate. The moment you let go is the highlight, the previous second was still trash, and suddenly it becomes a hot commodity.

I'll just say it, how many times has this FOMO script been played out on ENS... It's really a textbook example of human nature.

Laughing to death, this is the magic of ENS. The less you care, the more people want it. --- The most valuable moment is when you let go. Truly ironic. --- FOMO is the perpetual motion machine of the Web3 circle. --- The matter of domain names, to put it simply, is a gamble on people's hearts. --- If I had known earlier, I would have let it expire and tried. Now it's too late to regret. --- Supply and demand + human greed, this is the underlying logic of the entire crypto market. --- The most brilliant thing is that when you hold it in your hand, no one pays attention to you. --- Wait, isn't this telling us to pretend not to care? --- Web3 trading is like this; if you want to get it, you can't. --- Feels more like talking about philosophy of life than about ENS.
