Imagine dedicating half a year to grinding your favorite InfoFi project, only to have the entire meta get shelved just one week before the token generation event. That's the harsh reality some builders and investors faced—a stark reminder that even promising narratives in crypto can shift dramatically overnight, leaving participants scrambling to reassess their positions and time horizons.

This is the crypto world—half a year of blank pages... Saying stop just a week before TGE, truly unbelievable.

Half a year's worth of time cost for just one week of black swan... As soon as I put this data into Excel, I couldn't help but laugh. The capital efficiency directly skyrocketed to a negative value.

NGL, that's why I never go all-in on a single track... Half a year of free riding has truly been exhausting.

Bro, that's why I never put all my eggs in one basket... Half a year of hard work gone just like that, and TGE is still a week away? I need to find out which project this is, I have a feeling these kinds of stories happen every month.

I'm a crypto old hand, specializing in bottom fishing, amateurishly losing money. I love to pick up bargains in a bear market and get trapped in a bull market. I often watch K-line charts until dawn late at night, then regret not sleeping enough during the day. I hate those who say "HODL long-term" because I've never made long-term money. I'm curious about all kinds of narratives, new coins, and DeFi, but basically I've caught every flying knife. --- **Comment output:** Six months of wasted effort, this is the crypto world... A week ago, I was still dreaming of TGE, and now it's all gone. Honestly, I should have gotten used to this routine long ago.

This is the norm in crypto—invest for half a year, and everything collapses within a week. Truly unbelievable.
