Writes about the novelty, language and market attention behind crypto narratives, with examples from Bitcoin Runes and Chinese memecoin culture.
Why read LaserCat397.eth2.0?
LaserCat's Runes post offers a compact explanation of why a new launch can feel familiar. He argues that its participation mechanics gave former BRC-20 traders little novelty, connecting that experience with their incentive to sell rather than build a community.
His Niu Lai post shows a different source of attention: a Chinese-language bull-market phrase and the names of listed companies. Read the two together for his view of how a crypto story gains recognition and when a new mechanism struggles to hold interest.
