Why does the Year of the Horse have to be associated with the concept of "puppy"? Recently, this wave of Meme coin fever, from DOGE and SHIB to PEPE, each rise seems like a grand collective script being performed.
In simple terms, this is an amplifier of retail investor sentiment. A well-known figure casually posts a message, and the market can explode—what's behind this? The perfect combination of community consensus and influencer economy. Traditional finance is still analyzing thresholds, but the crypto world has already moved into a new stage where "narrative equals value."
But there's a problem: hot trends come quickly, and cool down just as fast. Blindly chasing the trend will almost certainly result in being harvested like a leek. Instead of riding the wave higher, it's better to understand the narrative logic thoroughly and pre-embed the next emotional trigger point. To survive long in this market, you need "dog-like thinking"—sharp intuition, a sense of collective action, and mastery of attention.
Ultimately, what truly drives prices in the crypto world is this word: consensus.

Another wave of narrative hype; the real profiters are still those who understand consensus strategies.

Another round of being cut, fine, I’ll calm down and fix my mindset first.
---
Consensus is correct, but honestly most people are just gambling on human nature.
---
Every time I think about lurking for the next hot spot, I end up getting caught in it... this must be my fate.
---
Narrative indeed has value, but the problem is my narrative can never keep up with the market’s rhythm.
---
Dog mentality? I’m afraid I have crypto PTSD; my instincts have already dulled.
---
Hot topics cool down quickly, but my mood cools even faster... I need to undergo rebirth through Nirvana.
---
Wait, this logic sounds like I’m being talked about—full-position believers should be more cautious.
---
Easy to say, hard to do; when the opportunity comes, I still can’t control my hands.
---
Price pushers are based on consensus; the ones losing money are myself, haha.

Narratives are value, but the prerequisite is that someone has to take the bait.

Another narrative game... Really, a single Elon tweet can wipe out a round of retail investors, so true.
---
Consensus is indeed the way to go, but the question is who can sniff out the next emotional point in advance. I'm still betting.
---
It's called "dog-style thinking" in a nice way, or maybe gambler's mentality in a harsh way. Oh wait, I'm also betting.
---
I didn't get on the PEPE wave, and I'm still regretting it. That's why I call myself TooScaredToSell haha.
---
Hot topics cool down too quickly, it really hits hard. Feels like every day is a cycle of bottom-fishing and getting caught.
---
The influencer economy plays this game of the crypto circle very skillfully, much more flashy than traditional finance.

That's right, it's just the consensus causing trouble. But I think most people can't really grasp the narrative logic and are still blindly following the hype to push prices higher.

Narrative is the absolute truth of value, but the problem now is that everyone is just telling stories, and no one is really listening anymore.
