Recently, I came across an interesting financial news story—Moutai has started limited sales of 12 bottles at 1499 yuan each, sold directly at a flat price, with daily scheduled rushes. This move actually reflects a reality: young people are indeed less enthusiastic about baijiu.

Think about it, the investment stories of the previous generation revolved around stockpiling Moutai and drinking Moutai. But can this logic still hold now? As that main consumer group gradually steps back from the stage, these once-essential items may really become nostalgic relics.

Every generation holds assets that belong to their era. Their times had stamps, commemorative coins, and later Moutai. For our generation, the stories have shifted to BTC, MEME, NFT, and so on. The forms of assets are different, but the optimism about the future and the judgment of value are fundamentally the same. The market is changing, but the instinct of investors to seek growth opportunities has never changed.

BTC-1,07%

MEME-1,82%

Moutai is still struggling, but we've already gone all in on BTC a long time ago, haha

Damn, even Moutai has to be snatched now? This is a sign of the era's transition, really speechless. Rebuilding the mindset is a must... Young people are holding Bitcoin and MEME, while the older generation is still stockpiling liquor. Who says we lack faith? Conservation of energy, Moutai's popularity has shifted to blockchain. Opportunities are hidden in this cycle of change. It's all the same... We're all betting on the future, just swapping chips for a different girl. Now I understand, don't panic after such a long decline. Asset rotation works like this; the bottom range is actually brewing the next story. I just want to know, in ten years, will someone regret not accumulating enough BTC at the low? It's no different from the logic of stockpiling Moutai back then. The tears of the era... stamps exchanged for commemorative coins, coins exchanged for Moutai, Moutai exchanged for the crypto world... When will this cycle lead us to rebirth? It's quite heartbreaking, but it also gives me a new perspective on this round of adjustment.

Haha, Moutai prices drop and everyone rushes to buy. This is just the update of the times. Our generation has long been all in on crypto. --- Basically, it's asset rotation. They speculate on Moutai, we speculate on coins. The logic is the same, just the medium has changed. --- I have to say, this argument is interesting. Each generation's obsession is different, but they are all betting on the future. --- Moutai's price drops? We've been grinding meme coins on Solana for a while. Who still cares about these? --- This analysis is very clear-headed. Asset forms change, but greed and FOMO in human nature haven't changed. --- Young people stop drinking and switch to crypto, and the older generation probably feels helpless. The era is being rewritten this way. --- Anyway, I can't understand Moutai's move, but BTC is accumulating. --- Makes sense, but don't idolize it either. The risks in the crypto world are much greater than in white liquor. Be cautious.

Even Maotai is being sold at a flat price, what does that indicate? It shows that the strategy of stockpiling liquor is really outdated. Right now, we're focusing on BTC, MEME, and similar assets; they are focusing on Maotai. Essentially, there's no real difference—it's all just betting on the next hot trend.

Honestly, Maotai's recent moves are just conceding defeat. Young people haven't been buying this set for a long time. BTC and MEME are the Maotai of our generation, an inevitable part of generational replacement. This logic makes sense; every era has its own bubble. I'd rather hoard Shiba Inu coins than Maotai. It's too outdated. Wait, is Maotai at 1499 actually more valuable? I need to take a look. Young people are playing with growth expectations, not collecting mentality. Wake up, asset rotation has always been like this. Maotai falling from the throne is only a matter of time. Now it's the crypto circle's turn to test their luck. But honestly, what will the next bubble be? We're all betting on the same thing — the anxiety of hedging against inflation.
