During a random street interview in Hong Kong, the phrase "I'm not a millionaire, I'm a billionaire" quickly exploded across global social networks. From a communication perspective, this is not just a statement of wealth figures but also a ceremonial act of publicly confirming one's identity. In informal settings, using casual dialogue lowers the psychological barrier to receiving information, making the content naturally hot-topic and shareable. The fragmented nature of short videos turns this response into a "memory point," which is repeatedly copied in various secondary creations and meme spreads, eventually evolving into part of personal brand assets. This highly recognizable expression further reinforces his representativeness in the crypto circle—not just as an entrepreneur but also as a symbolic figure of this era of wealth.



In the crypto industry, technology is never the only competitive weapon. The power of storytelling also determines capital flow. Many have understood the logic of "storytelling as productivity," and by continuously delivering concise, impactful opinions on wealth, innovation, and future finance, these personal stories and wealth labels are woven into the grand narrative of the industry, which in turn enhances project ecosystems and social influence. The global spread of TRON benefits invisibly from this personal brand spillover effect—when someone becomes a topic of discussion, the technology and ecosystem they represent naturally gain additional attention and trust.

Unlike traditional entrepreneurs who prefer to appear in formal settings, these individuals are more adept at using native online contexts: street interviews, short videos, and discussions on social platforms. This approach is especially effective in the crypto circle.

To be honest, storytelling indeed attracts more attention than technology. That's just how this industry is.

To be honest, this narrative approach is indeed popular in the crypto world, but that's about it... If the technology isn't solid, no matter how good the storytelling is, it's all for nothing.

nah this is just textbook narrative arbitrage wrapped in meme economics... the guy basically found the leverage ratio between personal branding and protocol adoption, executed flawlessly. smart money moves but let's not pretend it's not pure market manipulation dressed up as authenticity tbh

Basically, those who can tell stories get the meat, while tech geeks drink the soup. This has long been an unspoken rule in the crypto circle.

To be honest, storytelling ability is indeed a top-tier secret weapon, much more engaging than technical whitepapers.

That's the power of storytelling. No matter how advanced the technology is, someone has to be able to promote it.

The rhetoric is excellent, it's just that understanding dissemination is key. But honestly, isn't it all about creating a persona? No matter how eloquently you speak, you still need real substance to support it. --- This set of tactics is indeed popular in the crypto circle, but looking back, is technology really that unimportant? It feels a bit upside down. --- The meme of millions and billions is truly brainwashing; repetition creates memory... But this logic seems to work for everyone in the crypto world. As a result, everyone is telling stories, and no one is doing real work. --- Hey, have you ever thought about whether this kind of personal brand spillover can really hold up? Or will it reveal its true nature during a bear market? --- Damn, it's this same set again. Is the native online context strategy really that invincible? Why does it seem like every new project is learning this approach... --- Symbols ≠ value. No matter how good the packaging, if the ecosystem lacks momentum, it will still collapse. But on the other hand, many people just can't see through this layer. --- Hmm... That makes a lot of sense, but I always feel like this is describing a phenomenon rather than criticizing. It seems like teaching people how to cut?
