The NFT market keeps pulling the same playbook. Some collections launch with massive hype campaigns—free mints or paid drops that remind everyone of 2021's glory days. The buzz feels real. Community energy spikes. Everyone's talking about it.

Then mint closes.

Floor crashes to $30.

The gap between pre-launch narrative and post-launch reality tells you something. Projects betting on hype alone without sustainable mechanics tend to face brutal market correction. It's becoming a pattern worth watching as the space matures.

Here we go again... I mean, every time it's the same, with the hype so high, how come I haven't made any money? Once the minting ends, the bottom price takes a 50% slump, isn't this just playing people for suckers? No matter how much you hype something that has no practical use, it's all in vain.

Here we go again? Speculation--crash--Be Played for Suckers, this routine is played so smoothly. I just want to know when I can see a project that truly has utility, instead of all this empty talk. $30? Ha, I bet $5 that it will still face a 50% Slump next week.

It's the same script again; the hype comes quickly and goes just as fast. The bottom price of 30 dollars is the best textbook. It's really time to learn how to distinguish between community enthusiasm and being played for suckers.

Honestly, I'm really tired of this routine. It's always the same script—hype up wildly, then suddenly drop to $30. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. --- It's those projects without sustainability again, relying on community hype as a lifeline. Wake up, everyone. --- The dream of 2021 hasn't even ended, and you're starting to repeat this routine? Can't learn from past lessons. --- Wait, why does this happen every time? Doesn't anyone want to create something genuine? --- The bottom price was directly halved. Who got cut this time? --- The gap between pre-release and post-release is so huge it could open a big rift, haha. --- Hype has no mechanism; it's just a gambler's game. Eventually, you'll have to settle the bill. --- No way, here we go again? Not learning from lessons is truly incredible.

I've seen this routine too many times, always the same script... hype it up with dazzling claims, and as soon as the minting ends, it gets cut off abruptly, exposing everything.

Here it comes again, this old trick... Every day it's the same script, hype + zeroing out, cycle after cycle --- 30 dollars? Laughing out loud, I've seen worse, truly unbeatable brainwashing marketing --- The core issue is still the lack of utility, having community hype alone is useless --- People from 2021 are still repeating 2021's operations, this market really needs to grow a memory --- Basically, it's a leek relay race, see who runs faster, who survives --- Sustainable mechanisms? Sounds good, but how many projects have actually achieved it... --- The bottom price has fallen so much, what are those early promoters thinking now? --- It’s always the same, I’ve become numb to it --- The problem is new people are still pouring in continuously, so the套路 (tactics) never go out of style

honestly the $30 floor speedrun is getting predictable at this point. like we really thought narrative alone could carry bags in 2024? well technically it never could, but the copium was stronger back then lol
