Currently, retail investor participation in the crypto market is almost zero. To be honest, after the memecoin craze, retail investors' confidence in this industry has plummeted. Do you remember that big drama in the crypto world? Many people have significantly lost trust in the entire market because of it.

Looking back now, many projects are trying to attract retail investors back by using retro tokens and established assets—this trick may have worked before, but its effectiveness has greatly diminished. Friends and family around me have long stopped asking me about crypto; either their interest has waned or they've been hurt once and never touched it again.

The question is: can simply炒旧概念 (炒旧概念) and revive outdated tokens really bring retail investors back? Or do we need to come up with something truly different?

Really, the old-school vintage coins are no longer popular... Retail investors got burned once and like a cat with a burned paw, they never dare to touch them again.

Fighting over old issues is no longer appealing; we need to create something truly innovative. It's enough for retail investors to get burned once; trying to scam them back? Don't even think about it. That wave of meme coins really hurt people deeply; who dares to touch them now? Instead of digging up old issues, it's better to develop some reliable application scenarios. When friends ask me about the crypto world, I pretend I haven't heard anything—it's too exhausting. Reviving old coins? Wake up; once people's trust is gone, it can't be regained. Things without real utility are useless no matter how much you package them. The key is to have tangible, visible value—this is the true way to succeed.

Chasing old concepts? That's just betting on human forgetfulness. The data is right here—node validation efficiency hasn't improved, consensus mechanisms haven't made breakthroughs, and staking yields are still the same old tricks. Why should retail investors come back? You really need to present something systematic; changing the skin isn't enough.

Really, I was also caught in the memecoin wave before. Now, whenever I look at any coin, I first check whether it might be the next scam. Recycling old ideas is useless; I've already used that strategy. Now, I'm just waiting to see who can create something genuine. Once retail investors' confidence is shattered, just telling stories won't be able to bring it back.

Really, recycling old memes can't save this situation at all. --- Retail investors are burned once and can never come back; that's the real truth. --- Instead of hyping concepts, it's better to focus on practical applications, but no one in this industry is doing that. --- My mom now shakes her head when she hears about cryptocurrencies; she even wanted me to buy before, haha. --- Reviving outdated coins? Wake up, without real innovation, it's a dead end. --- Without actual products to support, relying solely on marketing will eventually lead to being cut out like chives. --- The problem isn't retail investors; it's that these project teams are all scammers. --- The most heartbreaking thing is that even insiders are now afraid to speak out.

Hmm... No one is interested in the vintage coin set anymore. I only understand after being scammed. --- Now everyone on Moments says they have no coins left. Basically, confidence has been shattered. --- Reviving outdated coin types? Wake up, the retail investors who should have already run. --- That wave of memecoin really hurt people deeply. Now I dare not touch anything. --- Instead of炒冷饭 (recycling old ideas), why not go for something practical? But it seems no one knows what that is. --- My parents now roll their eyes whenever they hear the word "coin," it's hilarious. --- Old concepts can't be炒不动 (pumped anymore). What new things could there be... Just genuinely asking. --- When retail investors lose confidence, it's gone. No matter how many gimmicks, they can't fill that gap.

Bro, that really hits home... It's the same around me. No one asks about withdrawals anymore; only those who are completely wiped out come to complain to me.
