Recently, I’ve been tossed around by the “hot topic rotation” again, and I feel like attention is the real liquidity… Today narrative A, tomorrow narrative B, the worst part is I’m the kind of person who gets itchy and chases after it, only to become the bag-holder. Now I’ve set myself a simple rule: if I don’t understand how the risks come about, and the protocol deliberately hides pitfalls in the corners, I just won’t touch it, to avoid spending a long time typing in the group criticizing afterward.
Just like the NFT royalty water war, they say it supports creators, but then complain that secondary liquidity is blocked; honestly, both sides want it, but no one wants to pay the cost for “sustainability.” The more intense the hot debate gets, the more cautious I become: the ones really making money are often not the participants in the discussion, but the ones selling shovels and generating traffic. Anyway, I’d rather miss out now than get repeatedly cut, at most just watch from the sidelines: what kind of operation is this?
