From ICOs to Metaverse projects, NFT crazes to Memecoin launches—the cycle keeps repeating. Every bull market brings a new flavor of speculation dressed up as innovation. Whether it's the next blockchain breakthrough or another quick liquidity grab, investors keep asking the same question: which trend will deliver extraordinary returns before the inevitable correction? The pattern suggests caution might be wiser than chasing the next big thing.

Basically, it's just the little guys following the trend; it's the same old story with a different shell.

To be honest, after so many rounds, it's still the same old act. Changing the appearance and calling it innovation—brilliant.

Basically, it's that the retail investors will never learn to cut losses, and the same tricks will be used in the next round.

Basically, it's just repeatedly harvesting the little guys over and over again, changing skins to keep on harvesting.

Honestly, ICO, Metaverse, NFT, Memecoin... the cycle has gone too far, it's really just changing masks to continue the cut. --- It's the same old story every round, essentially a game of hot potato. --- I just want to ask, who can precisely get on board before the correction? Honestly, 99% of people are just bagholders. --- Ironically, I'm also caught in this cycle haha, but it's really time to wake up. --- Chasing high risks is risky enough, but I'm afraid if the market stops, and you haven't gotten off, that's truly tragic. --- It sounds like discouragement, but actually it's very true—the temptation of quick money is too great. --- Every cycle, someone says this time is different, and then... it turns out just as expected. --- Cautious? Who in the circle is cautious? Everyone has a gambler's mentality.

Honestly, I've watched this cycle too many times. Every time it's wrapped up in a shiny package, but in the end, it's the same old story.

Here we go again with this set? ICO, NFT, Memecoin... Huh, why is it me again? --- A thousand gold can't buy early knowledge. When I went all-in on the metaverse two years ago, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. --- Everyone chasing the trend is the same, always thinking they can walk away unscathed before liquidation. --- People who say be cautious haven't experienced real FOMO. I bet you're still waiting for the next hundredfold. --- With such high borrowing rates, you still dare to chase? Is the liquidation price even considered? --- Who listens to you when the bull market arrives... I am now a living witness of heavy losses. --- Every cycle claims this time is different, but it's always the same routine to cut new leeks. --- Bought the dip until I was a sucker. Now you tell me to be cautious? It's too late.

Basically, it's just gambling with a different skin; the tricks are always the same.
