Evolving from the super cycle, market narratives have become increasingly absurd. From the initial technological innovation, to the rise of "main figures" everywhere, and then to various community culture innovations—the entire ecosystem's focus has gradually drifted away. Once aspiring pioneers and pure players are now caught up in this set of rhetoric. It feels like the entire narrative system has turned into a cultural game, with core values becoming increasingly blurred. Sometimes it's really hard to tell whether we are doing financial innovation or just playing with cultural creativity.

It's all because of these "managers," turning a good technical story into entertainment gossip. Really, who still remembers the original intention? It’s all about character building and traffic games now. The narrative has collapsed, someone should have exposed this facade long ago. Stories are everywhere, but no one is doing things properly. This set of rhetoric has really hijacked everyone; I’m almost losing track of what I’m doing. Financial innovation? Ha, now it’s all about who can tell the best story to win. Generations after generations, once the passion is exhausted, only routines remain.

Really, now it's all about packaging and personas. Who still cares about the technology itself? I'm already tired of all the performances by various project leaders; it feels almost like the entertainment industry. Isn't this just a game of hot potato? In the end, whoever takes over is doomed. The story of faith turning into a bunch of leeks is repeated every cycle. What do they mean by innovation? It's just the same old tricks with a different shell. Now even I can't tell if it's investment or idol worship...

It has proven that the path from technical validation to community operation has gone a bit off course. The original intention of the protocol architecture is lost, replaced instead by personality branding.

I really can't hold it anymore. What are they even talking about now? Technology? It's all been drowned out by the "main person's aesthetic." What was it all about in the beginning... now it's all about character branding, the absurdity level++. Once you understand this narrative approach... it's probably time to run. Honestly, who still cares about technological innovation? As long as the story is outrageous enough, you can cut the leeks. Those who get caught up in it haven't woken up, including myself haha. Financial innovation turning into a cultural game—this contrast is incredible. Core value? That thing has been gone for a long time. Now it's just a storytelling game.

Honestly, as soon as you enter the community, it's all "builders" and "empowerers" these days. It really gets annoying hearing those words all the time. Isn't it just about cutting leeks? They're just playing cultural innovation here. From technological faith to persona harvesting, this shift is incredible. The question is, who can still tell which one is genuine faith and which one is just to scam money? The narrative has been spun to this extent, I don't even know what I'm investing in anymore. Various project leaders debuting, but the coin prices still fall—ironic, isn't it? Community cultural innovation? Sounds a hundred times better than it actually is. The early true believers must be quite regretful now.

Haha, you're so right. The crypto world now is just a big stage, and there are more organizers than coins. I'm already tired of it. The technical talk doesn't work anymore. Now it's all about personas and stories. What are we still arguing about narrative for... Wake up, we've long been playing a pyramid scheme script. Honestly, I can't tell if it's innovation or just acting. Anyway, I'm just here to watch the fun. This wave is indeed outrageous. From faith to monetization, what's left in the end is just rhetoric. To be honest, who still cares about value? Now it's all about betting on who can tell the best story.
