There is a psychological concept called the "Mother Teresa - Femme Fatale" scenario, used to explain a contradictory mental state— the deeper the trust and confidence in an asset, the less likely one is to take strong action; conversely, unfamiliar and刺激的 things tend to excite us more.

Applying this logic to investing is quite interesting.

**Mother Teresa-type assets** are those projects or cryptocurrencies that you believe in and have studied deeply over the long term. You genuinely recognize their value, but often behave very cautiously—small positions, hesitant execution, always feeling something is missing. Xu Mingxing once said that a true KOL should hold at least 10 BTC, but in reality, most people have never truly heavy-allocated these "Mother Teresa assets." Confidence is there, but the courage to bet big is always lacking.

**Femme Fatale-type assets** are the opposite—short-term hot topics, meme coins, high leverage trading. These things are full of uncertainty and刺激感, and tend to trigger action more easily. The problem is, this impulsiveness often results in wasting money on speculative games without long-term value, and it’s easy to get addicted.

Interestingly, some real players in the industry see this very clearly. CZ once said he has never traded on-chain dog tokens, and Arthur Hayes, who invented perpetual contracts, explicitly states he doesn’t trade futures— they treat speculation as a tool or business, not an emotional attachment.

Of course, the ideal state isn’t an either/or situation, but a balance: maintaining long-term faith in good assets, and at the right moments, daring to heavy-allocate or leverage; enjoying speculative assets but knowing when to stop, avoiding reckless gambling.

What are your "Mother Teresa assets" and "Femme Fatale assets"? The areas where your perceptions are inconsistent might be the breakthrough points for improving your investment mindset.
