The market has never lacked gamblers. It has always been this way and will not change. So, what are the narratives that can truly stand the test of time? The answer may only be two types. The first type is speculative narratives, which offer the best speculative opportunities. These often come from global-scale narratives—such as robotics, AI, and hardware revolutions. But if you're not a VC, you can't bet before the trend explodes; by the time they become tradable in traditional finance, their value has already been drained in advance. The significance of speculative crypto assets lies in transforming these high-threshold narratives into real-time, liquid, accessible assets for everyone. The second type is reflexive narratives. When the target of speculation shifts from "outcomes" to continuous indicators—such as hash power, usage, content creation, GitHub Stars—speculation itself will drive these indicators, attract attention, and in turn validate the rise in capital stock prices, creating proof of growth. Then, it spirals upward. There are roughly 3–4 such opportunities per year. What you need to do is not to act frequently, but to wait and always be prepared.
