Recently, I wanted to experience some ETH investment opportunities and bought a little to test the waters. But honestly, my expectations for the primary market are not very optimistic.

Frankly speaking, what I observe is that most projects in the primary market have a story behind them—those stories are often fabricated by the whales themselves. Instead of exerting effort to pump up existing coins, it's easier to just issue new tokens. Existing coins will only become chips in the hands of followers.

As a newcomer who entered the circle in 2002 and has experienced several market fluctuations, I am increasingly understanding the essence of this circle. What are people coming in for? Ultimately, it's to get rich. This is not a bad thing; it’s the most basic human nature—and it’s even more so in the crypto world.

Happy New Year! I wish everyone gains something, and I hope my small investment doesn’t go to waste. Although the probability of a sudden surge is low, in this market, who can say for sure?
