I recently came across something interesting. An app called "Is It Dead" has emerged in the internet circle and is going viral on social media. As I watched, I thought to myself, this approach is just like the logic of our crypto circle's pump-and-dump schemes—it's basically twin brothers.
First, let's talk about the project itself—an initial investment of 1,000 RMB, a minimal team of three post-95s, and from project approval to launch in less than a month, it was all done. Now, the founder wants to sell 10% equity for 1 million RMB, which implies a valuation skyrocketing to 10 million. Even more astonishing, this app is already profitable, not just a PPT pitch.
Why should traders pay attention? Because behind this is the real-life performance of the primary market logic in the crypto world. Rapid iteration to precisely capture market sentiment hotspots, leveraging ultra-low costs to achieve ultra-high valuations, with ROI more exaggerated than top-tier venture projects. The founder is quite honest: "Everyone's understanding is different." See, isn't this just a game of consensus?
The core point is—this app isn't selling technology or features. It's selling emotions, trending topics, and those "memes" that can make everyone collectively agree. Just like when we buy coins, sometimes we're not buying the project itself, but the story that resonates with us.
Since minimal startups can run and turn a profit, it shows that in 2026, consensus will be the biggest asset. Don't just focus on K-line charts; understanding how human nature and trending topics translate into value—that's the underlying logic of the primary market.
