The first Chinese Ticker to launch contracts: Meme research is not gambling, diamond hands will eventually be rewarded.

Today, a major platform launched contracts for that Chinese Ticker. Honestly, this move has a significant psychological impact on the market.

Anyone in the meme research field understands—those traditional finance veterans outside always think we’re just gambling. But even though crypto doesn’t have financial reports or PE ratios, to say there’s no method at all? That’s just an outsider’s prejudice.

Investment Research Is About Win Rate

I’ve always believed in this logic: As long as the data shows the projects you’ve researched have a higher probability of making money, then the method stands.

You really have to dive in—understand the open and hidden battles between platforms, figure out why a certain meme resonates, and get a feel for what retail investors at home and abroad are thinking. If you do your homework, your odds are way better than just guessing.

Take this project as an example. I started watching it early, held it for a long time, and didn’t hesitate to add more when the time was right. When the market cap dropped from 500 million to 100 million, those without conviction bailed early. But back then, the platform didn’t step in to help, right? Now that it’s up again, all I can say is diamond hands got what they waited for.

The Significance of the First Chinese Ticker

This project broke through a lot of things people thought were impossible before. Its symbolic meaning is clear, and there are definitely more stories to come.

But is it going to skyrocket right away? I don’t think so.

Whose life is always smooth sailing? Some in the community say, “When it drops, blame the platform; the platform won’t dare let it drop”—I don’t agree with this kind of logic. The platform isn’t that easy to manipulate, and when it came to shaking out weak hands before, they didn’t hesitate.

Of course, I’m not going to short it either. After all, the weight of being the first Chinese Ticker is there, and going against this kind of sentiment to try to catch the top is too risky.

A Long-Term Bet

Short-term ups and downs are just normal market fluctuations, but I believe in the cultural significance and narrative behind this meme, so I’ll consider holding long term.

As long as the diamond hands who stick it out can laugh in the end, that’s enough.

When it comes to holding the longest, I’m pretty confident—after all, meme hype on BNB Chain is still going strong, and sometimes conviction works better than technicals.
