This year is already May of 2026. Looking back over the past five years of my career, I have many feelings.

In 2021, I entered this circle, from NFTs to land dogs on various chains, then to grassroots marketing, to crypto or comprehensive category exchanges, and then to becoming an investor.
There have been so many projects built, I’ve seen many talented developers, some who started NFT platforms in 2021, participated in hackathons, some are very familiar with Vitalik, some are bosses of various VCs, some are grassroots marketing leaders, and some are executives of exchanges.
Actually, compared to now, I prefer the atmosphere of a few years ago. At least back then, it wasn’t like now, waiting for a certain hot spot, AI automatically opening trading, whales using their own smart money to attract follow-on orders and deciding whether to harvest.
So I want to talk about the meme in my mind, and the roles these people play in the market. Each of these people has their own unique ecological niche, and the meaning represented by these different niches. Ultimately, how to hype up the primary market to make money, and what skills need to be learned in this market.
First:
The meme in my mind is cute, capable of triggering viral effects among people. To put it simply, it’s something that makes people see at a glance that it’s different, and they are willing to interact for it.
I’ll write about the subsequent questions when I think of them.
