As a deep participant in NEO, I want to share the actual performance of this project. Initially, I allocated at the ¥10 to 15 range, and later cashed out at over ¥300, resulting in a total return of more than 20 times. If calculated based on the all-time high, the profit potential could approach 100 times.



Looking back at that extreme market condition, on the surface, it was driven by the national narrative of "China's first public chain," but what truly pushed the price soaring was, frankly, some teams' packaging and operations. This case quite well illustrates the point — no matter how good the concept is, it can't withstand the influence of market sentiment and marketing tactics. For later participants, this period of history is actually worth reflecting on.

Wow, 20x? Is that real? Why didn't I catch this train?

The team’s packaging tricks are still being used now, no one has learned their lesson.

The first public chain in China? Laughable, everyone had already been fooled once back then.

100x is just a paper number, how many can walk away unscathed?

That’s why you have to be cautious when reading whitepapers now; they’re all just stories.

Projects like this are still copying the same tricks, just with fewer believers.

Honestly, everyone was caught in the FOMO mindset back then.

Wow, 100x? I wish I had hoarded NEO earlier. Back then, I listened to too many "domestic public chain" motivational stories.

The team packaged this set... Honestly, the crypto world is still the same, just changing the concept to continue cutting.

Making over 20x, you should be satisfied. The greedy ones are all trapped at the top.

The first public chain in China belongs to that, but what happened afterward? The story is over, and the price should have dropped.

I also dodged this wave of market movement. Mainly because I didn't believe in those narratives, I’ve been surviving purely by luck until now.

Really, emotions and marketing > technology. The tuition for this lesson was too expensive.

Oh my, over 20 times. Why didn't I get in back then?

Honestly, storytelling is still the most profitable; concept hype永远 can't compete with marketing.

This guy seems to see through it quite clearly, but he was already out of the game when he said that.

The first public chain in China? Who still remembers this narrative now?

A 100x story is just for listening; those who truly make money stay silent.

That wave of NEO was indeed fierce, but the followers who came later were probably at the bottom.

That's how the crypto world is—storytellers make money telling stories, retail investors can't.

From 10 to over 300, I really missed this wave.

All-time high? Feels like these numbers are always exaggerated.

What's there to reflect on? The next wave still depends on luck.

Over 20 times returns are pretty good, but to be honest, can it still be replicated now?

Uh... I've heard the narrative about the first public chain in China too many times.

In terms of packaging and operations, whoever tells the best story wins.

Early investors have already made a fortune, and those of us who came later can only watch the excitement.

Thinking about it makes me a bit frustrated, feeling like I missed out on that wave.

It's really just an information gap—whoever knows first benefits the most.

Talking about 100x returns now sounds a bit heartbreaking.

Wait, isn't this logic implying that the team is just harvesting profits?

I understand the reasoning, but the key question now is how to find the next opportunity.

This is the norm in the crypto world, where concept hype cycles repeat periodically.

To put it nicely, it's called market sentiment; to be blunt, it's a game for the big players.

Being late and realizing it now is really a loss.

A 100x space sounds exciting, but can you really hold on? That's the real question.

Honestly, it's all just storytelling; no matter how fancy the concept packaging, it’s useless.

20x is already the ceiling; the rest are just paper gains.

Using national narratives to harvest profits—classic套路.

The ones who come in later are the real victims; I see through this neo wave.

There are still people believing in the term "the first domestic public chain," I really can't believe it.
