"This is a Web3 project that will change the world! Missing this is like missing the internet boom!" When I heard this, I got excited. I invested my entire 400,000 yuan down payment for a house. Six months later, the project ran away, leaving only a statement saying "poor market conditions." Looking back now, I finally understand one thing: the most valuable thing in the crypto market is the narrative, and the most deceptive is also the narrative.

In 2023, when the Web3 concept exploded, I was bombarded with various "decentralized social"

This is just pyramid scheme talk with a different shell, still riding the trend? That's hilarious.

400,000... Brother, how much courage does it take to go all in at once? Thinking back now, I really must have been out of my mind. --- Narrative can sell, but it can also kill. That's the weirdness of the crypto world. --- It's the same line every time: "Missed this opportunity." Someone always falls for it—truly incredible. --- The project team’s phrase "poor market environment" actually means our wallet environment has improved. --- Six months to run away—that's quite efficient... Pity your house dream. --- The biggest product of Web3 is creating anxiety, really. --- Are people still getting brainwashed by this kind of talk? I just can't understand why they keep rushing in. --- Honestly, these blood-and-tears stories are the most educational; they're worth more than any financial management course.

400,000 directly lost... This is a classic case of being killed by the narrative, really.

lmao, "market conditions" is just fancy copium for rug pull. dude just got liquidated by his own fomo. but ngl analyzing the gas consumption on those failed bridge txs? clear 500+ bps leak waiting to happen if you know how to read calldata. people panic sell while smart money extracts value from the chaos. that's the actual edge.

Ha, a 400,000 down payment... this guy is really brave, just go for it. Narratives are indeed the key to the crypto world; the more enjoyable the story, the worse the losses. --- It's "missed it and it's gone," this line is everywhere, and someone always falls for it. --- Poor market conditions? Ha, that's the standard scapegoat line in the crypto circle, I can recite it by heart. --- Basically, it's being killed by stories. The deepest lesson from this wave of Web3 is definitely for these "believers." --- 40,000... I didn't expect someone to go all-in to this extent, isn't that just gambler's logic? --- Narratives are the poison of the crypto world; good stories are worth much more than the code itself, how ironic. --- Reading this article, I was sweating for the guy, but I guess it's a lesson bought with money. --- Every time I hear words like "change the world," I think of projects like this—same old套路.
