Top 10 Mindset Journeys in the Crypto World

1. From Calm and Composed to Rushing and Crawling
A true reflection of seasoned traders and “newbies” — veterans research projects and develop strategies, appearing calm. Newcomers are often driven by “FOMO” (Fear Of Missing Out), chasing gains and selling at losses, “rushing and crawling” through rapid rises and falls, sometimes even wiping out their assets.
2. The Main Organizer
From project founders to community KOLs, a successful “main organizer” can rally massive consensus. How a simple “Wish you enjoy your Binance life” can “main organize” a phenomenon-level Meme coin.
3. Basic or Not Basic
The “Consensus Value” vs. “Technical Foundation” of Meme coins — this phrase perfectly describes Meme coins: the technical foundation may be weak, but community consensus and emotional value are definitely “not basic,” like “Binance Life,” which originated from a meme but quickly surpassed a market cap of $500 million.
4. Heresy
Deviating from mainstream, high-risk high-reward “wild tactics,” referring to unconventional investment methods. For example, focusing on highly volatile Meme coins with zero intrinsic value, or automated arbitrage strategies popular among “on-chain scientists,” which yield high returns but carry enormous risks, akin to “heresy.”
5. Sense of Alive Presence
The difference between a genuine community and “bots” spamming. Whether a project has a “sense of alive presence” is crucial. Authentic community discussions and user-created emojis are signs of a healthy ecosystem. Conversely, projects filled with bot comments are likely “carpet-pulling” scams.
6. What Does It Mean
In the face of complex narratives and confusion, whenever new concepts (like RWA, DePIN) or bizarre Meme coins emerge, the community always asks “What does this really mean?” This questions the actual value and also reflects the confusion caused by information overload.
7. What Can Be Done, and What’s Next
The classic mindset of crypto enthusiasts in the face of intense volatility — when prices plummet and assets shrink, the response is often a resigned “What can be done, and what’s next?” Then, either “hold on” or silently “bottom-fish,” seemingly the only options.
8. Do Your Part, Focus on Your Strategy
Focus on your own strategy, block out market noise. The crypto space is filled with “FUD” (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) and false positives. Mature investors need this mindset: set your strategy and stick to “do your part,” undeterred by external chaos.
9. Pre-made
Standardized, formulaic projects and marketing — many projects today resemble “pre-made dishes,” using similar tokenomics, marketing language, and social media tactics. The Meme coin launch platforms by exchanges further standardize this “pre-made” process.
10. The Self
Investors’ self-care and identity — in the high-pressure crypto world, learning to “love yourself” is vital. Whether celebrating profits with a “toast to yourself” or holding onto beliefs during bear markets, calling oneself “Diamond Hands” or “E-Guard,” these are important psychological adjustments.
