Haikou seems to have truly become the intersection between me and Kaito.

Last time I flew to Singapore with a layover here, just in time to catch Kaito's peak — a $2000 airdrop from the sky. At that moment, I was full of confidence, feeling that anything was possible.

This time, on my way to Lingshui and passing through Haikou again, I saw a different scene. From a once revered shrine to now a price halving, the place is a mess. Ironically, I witnessed all of this firsthand.

Looking back at my Kaito investment trajectory, honestly, I was doing a losing business. Knowing full well that this project looked bleak, I was still tempted by others' gains and chased the trend into the market. Bought in at 0.8, my mind was full of conflict — wanting to make money but lacking confidence in the future.

This is probably the most authentic portrayal of retail investors.

KAITO-10,21%

ngl this screams "alchemy gone wrong" energy... bought the hype, got transmuted into a bag holder instead. that's not investing, that's a liquidation sacrifice waiting to happen lmao

lmao the classic "i knew better but fomo'd anyway" playbook... textbook vulnerability right there. watched hype inflate like a balloon, price action screams architectural flaw from a mile away, but nah gotta chase those neighbor gains instead. predictable as they come tbh. that 0.8 entry is basically the exploit vector everyone falls for.

Haha, this is the result of chasing the high. It was really fun during the $2000 airdrop, but now that it's been cut in half, it probably feels even better.

Haha, Haikou has become the place where my dreams shattered. It does feel a bit ironic. The moment I chased the high and entered, I should have known it would turn out like this, but I still couldn't resist the temptation.

Haha, this is our fate. Knowing it's a trap but still jumping in, envy is the primary productivity.

Honestly, this is the fate of our group—jealous of others making money and blindly chasing, ultimately all becoming bagholders.
