History always repeats itself. Seemingly fresh narratives are often just old plays with a new twist.

The Meme craze certainly grabs attention, but upon closer inspection, it's nothing more than a manipulation game by capital operators. Prices soar, retail investors enter, and then what? The script of cutting leeks plays out year after year. So I’m not very enthusiastic about these short-term trends.

In contrast, narratives like a million dollars are different. Their appeal lies in their strong extensibility and long lifecycle. From small coins to big coins, from individual holdings to institutional allocations, this kind of narrative can be told for a long time and support longer-term value accumulation. This is what I truly believe in — capable of standing the test of time and not shaking my confidence in it.

It has proven that... the technical architecture of meme coins is essentially an infinite supply Ponzi scheme. Without innovation at the protocol layer, no wonder I’m not interested in this kind of trend.

You're right, the "cutting leeks" scheme is indeed the same every year, just changing the coin name and doing it again. I've also seen quite a few meme coins, but it's just a game for bagholders, not interesting. The narrative of a million dollars is indeed more solid, and being able to withstand institutional recognition is the real key. Wait, are you really saying it can last that long? I'm a bit skeptical. History repeating itself is a true statement, but this time is different... at least I don't believe so. Short-term hype is a gambler's game; long-term narratives are worth betting on.

I'm tired of the script of cutting leeks, I still need to find stories that can be told for three or five years. The meme trend comes and goes, but the real money is in narratives that can be accumulated over time. This logic of a million dollars is indeed solid; the longer the time, the more valuable it becomes. History always repeats, but some repetitions are for cutting, and some are for accumulation. Short-term trend? Not interested. I only follow things that can survive until the next cycle. These days, nine out of ten people chasing memes are working for the big players. Only things that can stand the test of time are worth my heavy investment.

Year after year, cutting leeks; retail investors keep rushing in, it's really funny. The million-dollar narrative is indeed resilient; those who hold long-term will laugh last. Meme coins? Just for fun in picture one, I won't bet real money on them. Historical cycles, the same script—let's see who can survive until the final curtain. The same old capital washout tricks, played for so many years, still the same way. Only narratives with strong scalability are worth betting on; we agree on this point. Why do retail investors always fail to learn? Make some profit and run, panic when it drops, and get wiped out in a round. Assets that stand the test of time are good assets; everything else is just a flash in the pan. The meme hype comes and goes; the ones truly making money are those with stories. Are you all tired of this cutthroat method? It's time to upgrade to some new tricks.
