Watch out—the stock that dominated returns this year is quietly turning into a warning sign for anyone riding the AI hype wave. It's a classic story: investors poured money into what looked like unstoppable growth, only to watch reality set in. The lesson? Chasing outsized returns during boom cycles often means catching the falling knife instead. This playbook isn't new in traditional markets, and it's definitely playing out in crypto and emerging tech too. When everyone's betting on the same narrative, the crowd usually gets it wrong. The real money moves happen when you step back and ask whether the fundamentals actually match the hype. Something to think about the next time an asset looks "too good to miss."

NGL, seeing another wave of people chasing AI concept stocks, it really feels like history is repeating itself. --- That's why I never follow the trend; fundamentals are the key. --- Too many people are driven by FOMO, and by the time they realize it, they've already suffered heavy losses. --- That's correct, but when it comes to critical moments, who can resist temptation... --- It's always like this in every cycle; human nature never changes. --- So the key is when to exit; that's the real challenge. --- The phrase "fundamentals match" really hit the mark; most people haven't even read the white paper. --- Are there still people who truly believe in "it's too good to miss"? I don't. --- The metaphor "catch falling knife" is perfect; it's actually a story about my friend, haha. --- The crowd usually gets it wrong, so who should I listen to?

It's the same old tune... Every time, they talk about fundamentals, fundamentals, but the market just doesn't listen. You'll only regret it when the bubble really bursts.

ngl this wave of AI hype is just a relay race, the last ones to receive the baton are always trapped --- Same old story, no understanding of fundamentals before going all in, serves you right --- Wait, so should I now buy the dip or keep observing? Looking for a clear signal... --- Crowd always steps into the same trap, and this time is no exception --- Tsk, watching those "guaranteed to rise" targets fall so quickly, it's really satisfying --- Sounds good, but the question is who can really predict the turning point --- The traditional financial methods of cutting leeks are now copied into crypto, cycling repeatedly --- The ones who fall the hardest on the "falling knife" are the self-righteous "doing homework" --- Half a year ago, those accounts promoting AI concepts, where are they now? No news at all

ngl This is what I always want to say whenever I see the crypto circle celebrating... We're all chasing the same story, and in the end, we all jump into the pit together.

ngl, this is the same story that repeats in every bull market... things that seem to guarantee profit are often the ones that cut the most leeks.

It's the same old trick again; it's time to run when the crowd is celebrating.

seen this movie before honestly. back in the day we'd call it the "difficulty spike right before the halvening"—everyone mining the same narrative til suddenly the network adjusts and half the rigs go dark. classic cycle dynamics playing out in equities now, funny how that works
