Recently, in discussions, I often hear newcomers talking about a certain 98-suffix token that is expected to surge significantly, and I even see many people in the community frantically building positions with a gambling mentality. Some members share their holdings screenshots to encourage each other, and the entire atmosphere feels like a replay of stories from years ago.
Let me be clear: don’t be fooled by the "98" suffix. There are two different 98 tokens on the market that seem related but are actually completely unrelated. Following the trend blindly often results in repeated market lessons.
First, let’s clarify the fundamental differences. One is a token from the Coin98 ecosystem, mainly focused on cross-chain swaps and staking, with an independent ecosystem structure. From the project team and technical solutions to application scenarios, it’s a complete business line. The other token is on a completely different track, with no shared technical team or any basis for expected "linkage."
This kind of "name mimicry" hype has long been overused in the crypto market. Back when Trump-themed coins exploded in popularity, as long as the name contained a related suffix, it could storm to a quick rise. But once the official debunked the rumors, these coins turned into worthless tokens, and those chasing the hype suffered heavy losses.
More importantly, we should heed the lessons of history. Early investors are well aware of C98’s "torture attribute": when it fell from its high point, it experienced over 300 small rebounds before dropping again. Some people saw these rebounds and thought they could buy the dip, but in the end, they only deepened their losses.
The logic of the crypto market is simple: only genuine technology and ecosystems can support long-term value. Names that happen to be similar are more likely to be tools for cutting the grass (exploiting retail investors). Next time you hear a similar "name expectation," first calmly consider whether there is real ecosystem linkage behind it or if it’s just a coincidence.

I was deeply touched by the over 300 rebounds; I lost a lot back then.
---
The name just happened to want to ride the trend, these people really know how to play.
---
Still building positions with a gambling mindset on the news, why do people keep doing this?
---
The term "torture attribute" is used perfectly; C98 is really torturous.
---
Scamming tactics are so lame; just looking at those screenshots makes me angry.
---
Wait, do these two C98 really have nothing to do with each other? I need to take a closer look.
---
Newcomers love this routine; after repeated education, they still think they've made a profit.
---
Technology and ecology are the real value; everything else is nonsense.
---
I need to remember the phrase "be cautious of name expectations."
Haha, I just watch. Even after more than 300 rebounds and then a drop, there are still people buying the dip.
Same name can go up? Then I can just change my name and also take off.
---
I've seen over 300 rebounds of C98, really incredible. The more you buy, the deeper it gets.
---
Using this kind of hype and hype in the crypto circle has long been outdated. Are there really people falling for this?
---
Two coins that are completely unrelated must be forcibly linked. I really didn't expect this kind of move.
---
Looking at the screenshots of mutual encouragement in the community, it feels like someone is about to be educated again.
---
Betting on news and mindset is the easiest way to get cut. It happens every time.
---
Market repeatedly teaches lessons. Who will it be this time? Haha.
---
Just because the names are similar, you want to link expectations? Wake up, everyone.
---
The lessons of history are right there. Someone really chooses to ignore them.
---
Real ecosystem vs. coincidental names, how else to ask?
---
It's the same old trick again, really not learning any lessons.
---
Same name, can you get rich? Wake up, everyone.
---
I haven't forgotten the torment of over 300 rebounds. What happened to the early investors now?
---
Market is tired of the hype of fake scandals and pump schemes. Why are newcomers still jumping in?
---
Two coins that are completely unrelated are actually connected? Who came up with this logic?
---
Showing screenshots and cheering in the community is really a dead end. The next second, you'll be forced to sell.
---
Betting on news and mindset are the easiest ways to fall into a trap. It's always this group of people who suffer losses.
---
Can a technical ecosystem and a coincidentally same name be the same? That's not very difficult.
---
The fate of following the trend is to be educated. This rule has never changed.
---
Have you forgotten about Trump Coin? Do we need to relive the story of air coins?
Watching these people share screenshots and cheer each other on, I was reminded of the remarkable 300+ small rebounds on C98 back in the day... I suggest they be included in the Guinness World Records. It takes incredible mental resilience to watch the rebound and then fall back again each time.
Two unrelated coins insisting on being linked together for trading—what a bizarre logic... I'll just wait and see who cuts whom in this last wave.
Just because the name looks similar, it can be linked? Then if I rename myself Buffett, will it also skyrocket? They really treat the little investors as fools.
The tuition for market education is truly expensive. The tuition these people pay could fund the project team’s salaries for years.
---
The torment from C98 is something I've seen before. Over 300 rebounds—who can withstand that? This time, it's the same story.
---
Pumping and hyping through shameless tactics is truly impressive. Is the market really so lacking in creativity?
---
Newcomers are most easily fooled by names. Seeing similarities, they assume there's a connection. Wake up, everyone.
---
People blindly following the trend should have been educated long ago. Repeating the same mistakes for so many years.
---
The question is, are those posting screenshots to cheer on really making money or just acting?
---
Talking about technology and ecology nicely, but most people only look at the trend, not the details.
---
This "name expectation" routine again—it's just disgusting to see. Can't we have some new tricks?
---
The "scalping tool" label is spot on. These are exactly the pump-and-dump coins.
This kind of borderline naming trick has been played out for a long time, and someone always falls for it.
Just because the name looks similar, it can skyrocket? Wake up, everyone, I'm talking about you.
Really buying the dip until you go bankrupt, classic move.
Stop showing off your holdings screenshots to cheer each other on; that's the most dangerous signal.
Just because the name sounds similar, it can go up? Wake up, everyone.
I still haven't forgotten the torment of C98, over 300 rebounds, I lost count but it sounds ridiculous.
Purely riding the coattails, betting on more newcomers.
Roughly speaking, without ecological support, it's all just air.
Following the trend ultimately turns into a meat grinder for the cash-out machines.
Those building positions in this wave, get ready to be taught a lesson.
Two 98s are completely unrelated, yet they insist on forcing them together.
It's obvious at a glance whether it's real or fake, but they insist on pretending not to see through it.
The market is always teaching the bagholders a lesson.
Don't be fooled by the suffix, whether you're buying tech or chives boxes, decide for yourself.
