Actually, everyone in the crypto world has a very straightforward initial motivation — to get rich quickly and not miss any chance to turn things around.

Then came the Meme coin frenzy, and after the excitement, everything was reset to zero in bulk.
During the 2017 ICO craze, EOS raised billions, only to eventually crash to zero; in 2020’s DeFi Summer, YFI soared to sky-high prices, but once the hype faded, all that was left was a mess;
In 2021, NFT mania surged, with CryptoPunks selling for astronomical prices, but now 95% of projects are abandoned and ignored;
In 2022, GameFi exploded, making many wealthy with AXS, only to plummet 90% and fall into silence;
In 2023-2024, inscriptions exploded, ORDI was once highly sought after by thousands, now its market cap has been halved again and again;
Packaging has been changed over and over, stories have been told one after another, yet we clearly see this as a pathological cycle. We know the ending is probably just a pile of trash again, but we still choose to stay in the game.
Because deep down, there’s always a glimmer of hope: Crypto remains the closest path for ordinary people to reverse their fortunes. Even after being battered and bruised, we still want to gamble one more time, to seize that one in ten thousand chance.
