Honestly, the recent hot topics have been rotating so fast that it’s a bit dizzying—today it’s an AI Agent, tomorrow it’s DePIN. I tried chasing them for a couple of rounds, and then realized they were both just charging fees for the market makers. Especially those MEV folks: retail users line up to pay, and they cut in line like it’s eating—so natural. As for sorting fairness? It sounds pretty ironic.

Anyway, I’ve learned that lesson now—don’t get too emotionally invested. When looking at a project, first look at the people: who’s pushing things forward, who’s stalling. After chatting in the group a bit, you can usually get a rough read. Post-meeting reviews are way more interesting than pre-meeting call-outs—at least they don’t waste time, and you’re less likely to get swept up by emotions.

Do you have any good methods to stay clear-headed in a game like this for attention? For now, that’s it—I’m going to grab a cup of coffee to cool down.
