Getting into the circle is interesting; a bunch of KOL accounts have @ETH@ after their names, and that vibe is like announcing some kind of identity verification.



Thinking about it carefully, this reflects two stages of market mentality. In the early days, it was truly fanatic—everyone was eager to write all their chips and ambitions into their nicknames, afraid others wouldn't know they were into crypto. Chasing hot topics, riding the wave—when a coin becomes popular, it must be included in the nickname, as if that could catch the market's glow.

Now? Flip through accounts, and this silly practice is basically gone. It's not that the circle has cooled down, but that everyone has grown up. After experiencing several bull and bear cycles, who would still write their bets on their face? Instead, those with real ideas prefer to stay low-key, focusing on actual value.

This change is quite ironic—the more people realize that true初心 (original intention) isn't about chasing the trend but about sticking to what can be seen further ahead.

Haha, those early nicknames with "coin" in them, how are they doing now? Are they still around?

Haha, I don't have any coins or chains in my nickname now, but back then it was really a joke. I've seen too many accounts with over a dozen coin names that disappeared in just three months.

It's been three years. From the streets full of "Doge Daddy" and "SHIB King" to now seeing only amateur nicknames everywhere, I feel a bit nostalgic. I remember I almost changed my name to something silly like "Long-term Dreamer ETH," but luckily a friend talked me out of it. Now looking at these low-key people, I realize what it means to be someone who makes big money—never showing off. Some things should have been obvious earlier; it took some people three bear markets to finally understand.

Haha, you're right. The group that used to promote ETH back then was really relentless. Thinking about it now, they were just walking labels of naive investors.

Haha, really. What happened to that group who changed their nicknames back then? They've probably been cut many times by now.
