《2026: The Awakening of the Old Vegetables in the Crypto Circle》
In early 2026, Bitcoin fluctuated around $90,000, the Federal Reserve held a meeting, and the old trader A Qiang decided to challenge fate once again.
A Qiang analyzed in the group: "Brothers, now is the time for the trinity narrative of AI + DePIN + RWA. We need to layout value coins with a technical foundation, like the recently touted quantum-resistant BMIC or the cross-chain king LiquidChain. This is the future!"
After saying this, he sold all his doubled Doge and Pippin and went all in on 'value coins'.
The next day upon waking up:
* BTC plummeted 2% due to news that the U.S. government might shut down, and altcoins collectively experienced a 'bloodbath';
* The meme coin that claimed to be 'the cat next door to Musk' surged 500% because Musk posted a picture of a cat;
* Even the ancient Ethereum whale that disappeared for nine years revived to cash out, conveniently collapsing A Qiang's last line of defense.
A Qiang looked at the sea of red on the screen, silently turned off the computer, put on the faded sweatshirt from three years ago that read 'Bitcoin to 100K', and went out to rent a shared bicycle.
An aunt selling pancakes by the roadside asked him: "A Qiang, do we still need to participate in that Sentient mining recently?"
A Qiang looked up at the sky, a tear rolled down his cheek: "Aunt, don't ask anymore. In today's crypto circle, technology is used to deceive, emotions are used to harvest, only your pancakes with two eggs are the real value assets."
