【The magical realism grand drama of the crypto market: ICO's transformation, returning with a persona of 'fairness and justice'!】
Dear crypto movie stars, the script has been updated recently! The once-scorned 'villain actor' ICO, who was driven out of the industry, has now returned with a new script focused on 'common prosperity'—while the once-prominent 'airdrop sweetheart' has suffered a decline due to issuing 'quick cash experience cards' that led to audiences claiming and dumping them immediately!
🎬 Act One: ICO's 'Whitewashing' Declaration
“Family, who understands! Back when I debuted as ICO (for instance, Ethereum big shots), it was a grand spectacle! Later, some capital turned it into a 'high FDV, low circulation' magic trick, causing retail investors to buy at high prices... But this time I’m back with a new script: allowing retail investors to get in at VC prices and transforming token holders from 'clients' to 'shareholders'!”
（Voiceover: After all, the number of retail investors is three times that of 2017, and each of them can read K-lines now. If they issue dog food airdrops again? They will just dump it!）
🤡 Act Two: The Absurd Reality of the Market
VC Big Shot: Secretly buys at low prices, sells high FDV after listing, hiding achievements and fame.
Retail Investors: Holding onto the tokens until their hands are sore, angrily switching to meme coin casinos, shouting 'Let value investing die!'
Project Party: Initially wanted to build a community, but ended up being attacked by VCs and yield farmers, crying in Discord.
Thus, a revolution of 'interest binding' began—ICO 2.0 slogan: No free rides, that’s sustainable!
（For example, projects like MegaETH and Monad have already started to share VC shares with the public, attempting to turn 'insider trading' into 'public crowdfunding'.）
🚀 Act Three: Platforms' 'ICO Revival' High-Speed Train
Coinbase: Splurges $375 million to acquire the launch platform Echo, announcing 'We want to do ICOs directly in our app!'
Kaito: Launches MetaDAO, specializing in 'high FDV unacceptability', goal:To make projects accessible like street stalls!
（The crowd cheers: Finally no longer begging for VC handouts!）
💡 Act Four: How to Become the Chosen One of ICO 2.0?
Build a wallet persona: Stop being the 'king of chains', focus on protocol interactions, and become a Gitcoin philanthropist, accumulating credit points!
Reject the free ride mindset: Next time you see an airdrop, silently think 'I am not a yield farmer, I am a shareholder!'
Multi-chain Layout: Use tools like INFINIT to cross-chain cast a net, there’s always an ICO that will make you rich… or go to zero.
（Data is heartbreaking: The sell-off rate of light yield farmers within 7 days exceeds 80%, while true fans only 55%—so project parties must now check on-chain credit when looking for partners!）
⚠️ Final Act: The 'Invisible Landmine' List of ICOs
Pricing Crash: If the ICO price is more expensive than Tesla, it will instantly become a 'broken star' upon listing.
Regulatory Gaze: The SEC may suddenly knock on the door: 'Heard you’re raising funds without a license?'
ICO Fatigue: If there are 10 ICO bombings every day, the crowd will only apathetically scroll memes: 'Next!'
🎉 Easter Egg: Future Predictions
Airdrops will not disappear, but will evolve into a 'ICO + airdrop' hybrid model—like 'If you lock up for 3 months, I’ll give you more tokens', from then on, on-chain behavior equals a long-term relationship, and short-term players will eventually be eliminated!
（At this moment, a VC silently sheds tears: 'So love will disappear, right?'）
Summary: The essence of the return of ICOs is the uprising of retail investors waving the flag of 'fairness'! But remember—
If the project party only wants to cut VC, retail investors may be accidentally harmed;
If the project party wants to cut retail investors… they may find that this batch of retail investors has come to the battle with sickles.
（Friendly reminder: Before investing, silently write 'DYOR', otherwise you may go from 'shareholder' directly to 'Dongchang Eunuch'—left with nothing.)
