The recent performance of $buttcoin on the Sol chain has made me reflect a bit. I don't hold any positions and am just observing purely, but as I carefully consider this wave of market activity, I realize I've fallen into an interesting psychological trap.

When $troll re-emerges, my first reaction is—hasn't this been around before? It doesn't seem particularly innovative. But then I think, this kind of thinking is actually quite dangerous. The market is constantly evolving, and projects with the same name can look completely different in different cycles. Repeated themes and old concepts resurfacing are normal in the crypto world.

The key issue is that my way of thinking—seeing something and immediately feeling it's not interesting—might cause me to miss real opportunities. This is indeed a classic "old thinking trap."

Actually, it's easy for experience to kill imagination. I always feel that once you've seen everything, it becomes boring. Wait, isn't this just me? I need to be alert. Haha, buttcoin really attracts all kinds of weirdos and monsters. By the way, sometimes the things that seem most familiar and harmless are the ones most likely to backfire. Meme coins this time are truly beyond normal reasoning; each time is different.

Haha sister, your mindset shift is really amazing. You always think that what you've seen before is boring, which is actually self-limiting. The old trick of putting new wine in old bottles always fools people into making money, while those who think they've seen through it end up out. But honestly, if you hadn't written this, I wouldn't have realized I have the same problem. Will this be another trap this time? Anyway, just observe and see. Market cycles—those who know how to play always make money, and those who don't will always regret.

To be honest, I've seen this routine before, but it still feels easy to fall into traps. Revamping old concepts can occasionally attract a wave of people. The key is to have good judgment; don't be blinded by "I've seen this before." Just observing without taking action means missing out on everything—that's the real trap. Agreed, mindset needs to be adjusted; otherwise, you'll always be watching from the outside. When a new wave of market trends begins, those who overthink are destined to fall behind. Exactly, that's how the crypto world works—repetition and innovation are the usual strategies.

Haha, I really understand this mindset. After seeing it once, you get tired of it, and it's actually the easiest to crash and burn. It's the same old skin, just a different cycle of crazy growth, and you're still pretending to be aloof. But speaking of which, does buttcoin have any new stuff this time, or is it just a pure cycle of newbies being harvested? It feels like the crypto world is just like this—you think something boring will turn around and give you a 5x, just for some entertainment.

Ha, I always think "I've seen it, it's not interesting," but then I turn around and miss it. Truly heartbreaking. To be honest, we still need to be cautious of our cognitive biases. The routines in the crypto world repeat, but each cycle has new stories. Agreed, old concepts in a new cycle can indeed be played with in creative ways. The key still depends on execution. This wave of market movement has some textbook significance, reminding us not to be trapped by our own experience. It's terrifying to think about. How many people have missed doubling opportunities just because "I've seen it all"?
