The competition among token projects in the crypto space lately has been nothing short of a series of "user battles."

First, $Aster attempted to attract $Hype users with pump tactics, followed by #Shanyan Wanli performing the same play, frequently creating hot topics on the X platform in an attempt to divert Twitter users' attention. Honestly, this phenomenon reflects a current market reality—the project teams are doing everything they can to gain traffic and users.

Thinking carefully, the logic behind these operations is actually quite simple: where there are users, there are opportunities; whoever catches the trending topics first can gain more attention. The brutality of business battles lies in this—competition may seem "simple and unadorned," but the intensity of the operations is far from easy.

This also serves as a reminder to investors and community members that in an era of information explosion, it is necessary to more rationally discern the true value of projects, rather than being fooled by short-term hype. The market is like a big stage, performing various competitive stories every day.

ASTER-3,41%

HYPE-0,84%

It's the same old story. The hotter the hype, the more people jump on the bandwagon. To put it plainly, it's just preheating before harvesting profits.

It's starting again. These projects are constantly doing marketing gimmicks. Truly valuable projects don't need to go through all this fuss. Once the hype dies down, no one will pay attention anymore. It's time to rationally evaluate the project's fundamentals, everyone.

It's the same old trick again, pumping the market daily to create hype. Isn't it annoying? It's all fake traffic; truly valuable projects don't need to go to such lengths. Basically, it's a game of hot potato—see who can catch the last stick. This market really requires some rational analysis skills to survive. A bunch of projects are just bombarding wildly; I’ve already muted them. Nonsense. Can these hot topics turn into real money? I doubt it.

Still playing the pump-and-dump game, really thinking we're all just leeks Basically, whoever has the loudest voice wins, the project team is really impressive These two projects are competing with each other every day, I'm already tired of it, is there anything genuine? Hype is like that, it’s here today and gone tomorrow, don’t be fooled That's how the crypto world is, full of tricks and gimmicks, but what about the fundamentals?

Look at this routine, it's still the same old trick. Pumping and creating hot topics are just ways to transfer retail investors' money into their wallets. I already found issues in Aster's contract; the liquidity concentration is frighteningly high, and the real big players have long quietly exited.
