The day before yesterday, I saw a viewpoint in a large community and pondered it for a long time. An industry insider mentioned that Solana's development direction is to "attract retail users outside the crypto space," making blockchain as simple as scrolling through short videos.
The community exploded. Some shouted "it's about to go viral," while others calculated how much new users could bring in incremental growth. But I focused on those four words—"outside the circle users"—and suddenly felt a chill. Truly novice users, rushing in with real money, what would they do first? Go all-in on a highly volatile project, or find a "more reliable" one to test the waters?
I decided to adjust part of my holdings. Sold some high-volatility assets and switched to stablecoins.
My friend laughed at me: "The ecosystem is about to explode, and you're doing the opposite? Isn't that going against the trend?"

Newcomers get their first wave of losses and end up eating ramen, then watch as they lose everything... It's really funny. You guys are still thinking about making money from new users, but they can't even afford to lose money.

Newcomers' first reaction isn't to buy coins, but to get scammed. I've seen it too many times, but this time is truly different.

Haha, I’m impressed with your move this time. Everyone else is betting on the ecosystem's explosion, and you're instead thinking about how newbies might get cut when they come in. This line of thinking... really has some substance. Stablecoins just sit there and don’t lose anything; anyway, just wait and watch the show.

Newbies entering the circle just to send money. Do you really think they will allocate funds prudently? Wake up, everyone.

The biggest fear for beginners entering the market is getting caught holding the bag. To put it simply, going mainstream is just about turning retail investors from the real world into on-chain victims. I've seen through it long ago.

Beginner entry is just like a rookie entry; everyone knows that, so why the long preamble?
