Changes in the cryptocurrency space have undoubtedly sparked heated debate over the past few years. Although many early investors and enthusiasts entered the industry due to their firm belief in blockchain technology and its disruptive potential, today's market is filled with a mentality dominated by speculation and short-term gains. In particular, the explosive growth of meme coins has turned cryptocurrency into a "casino"-style game. But are we underestimating those who really care about the development of technology rather than just speculating? This is worth pondering.

The original intention and early beliefs of blockchain technology

At first, many people, including myself, have entered this field because of the potential of blockchain technology.

However, as time goes by, this belief seems to be gradually eroded by the market's enthusiasm. After several rounds of bull and bear markets, the confidence of many early believers seems to be reduced to firm support for Bitcoin ($BTC) and cautious interest in a few innovative projects. It can be said that the technical vision of blockchain has been obscured by various speculative behaviors, and this change is leading to some new problems.

The Greater Fool Theory: The Driving Force Behind the Memecoin Phenomenon

The popularity of memecoins, especially the rise of cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin and Shiba Inucoin, directly reflects the influence of the greater fool theory. According to the greater fool theory, investors do not care about the intrinsic value of an asset when buying it, but believe that they can sell it to a "stupid" person at a higher price in the future. This mentality is widely used in the cryptocurrency market, especially in memecoins.

If you invest in memecoins, you are actually accepting the reality that you do not believe that such tokens have long-term technical value, but hope to profit and exit after the price rises. But the problem is that if all investors have the same "gambling" mentality, it will become extremely difficult for such tokens to rise in large quantities. The influx of a new round of investors will decrease because they realize that all this is just a speculative game and will not really promote the development of blockchain technology.

The impact of technological beliefs on the future

Perhaps we are facing a turning point: if the entire cryptocurrency market continues to be viewed as a purely speculative market, this mentality may have serious adverse effects on long-term development. Although the price surge of meme coins has attracted a lot of attention, they have not brought about technological breakthroughs and expanded applications. This has caused the development of blockchain technology to stagnate and disappointed many people who really want to use this technology to solve real problems.

我们必须意识到，真正推动加密货币市场长期价值的并不是博傻心态，而是对区块链技术的信仰和应用。如果大多数投资者能够回归到对技术的关注，而不是仅仅关注短期收益，我们或许可以迎来新一轮的行业采用浪潮。区块链有潜力解决现实世界中的许多问题，而这些问题的解决将为整个行业注入新的活力。

in conclusion

尽管模因币在某些方面代表了市场的疯狂，但它们同时也是对市场现状的一种反映。投机心态主导的市场虽然短期内可能会带来财富，但从长期来看，只有那些真正推动技术创新的项目才能为市场带来持久的价值。要推动加密货币的下一轮增长，我们需要重新关注区块链技术的潜力，而不仅仅是短期的价格上涨和投机。

The future of the blockchain world is not only a casino, but also a cutting -edge field of technological change. As an investor, we need to soberly recognize this.
