People keep saying crypto has a marketing problem. Really? Let me show you what actually happens when this industry "rebrands" everything.



Gambling becomes "prediction markets" overnight. Gambling addicts? No no, they're "trench warriors" now. Wire fraud involving tokens gets the fancy label of "dev work." Some dude trading shitcoins all day calls himself a "liquid fund manager."

The classics never get old either. A dollar is now a "stablecoin" (because saying dollar is too boring). Your keypair? That's basically a "neo-bank" according to some pitch decks. Criminals operating pump and dump schemes? They're "KOLs" leading communities. And my personal favorite - blog posts magically transform into "research papers" the moment they mention tokenomics.

So yeah, crypto doesn't have a marketing problem. It has a reality distortion field that would make certain tech CEOs jealous. We've gotten so good at renaming things that we've convinced ourselves the rebranded version is fundamentally different from what it actually is.

LOL, "trench warriors"? That's just gamblers under a different name, putting on a show here.

LOL, this is exactly the crypto world. --- "Trench warriors"? I gotta say, wow. --- Obvious fake research paper, just add some tokenomics and dare to publish it. --- So we're all just playing word games, huh? --- Now I understand why we always get rekt. --- Pump and dump rebranded as KOL, that's just genius. --- Isn't this just old wine in a new bottle? --- A blog post instantly becomes a research report, I give this move full marks. --- Crypto survives on this set of buzzwords. --- One word: brilliant.

Oh my god, this is the crypto space—top-tier at naming things, mediocre at getting things done.

Haha, this article really hits the nail on the head. Gamblers become warriors, scams turn into development, the storytelling skills are just incredible. --- Seriously, the naming ability in the crypto space is impressive. Anything can be packaged as something grand. I bought it. --- The translation of "trench warrior" cracked me up. It’s just people doing losing trades trying so hard to build a persona for themselves. --- I totally relate to that part where a blog post turns into a research paper. Just add tokenomics and it becomes a thesis, right? --- It’s not a marketing problem, it’s a self-delusion problem. If you’ve already fooled yourself, how are you supposed to fool others? --- This is the hallmark of crypto—number one in packaging, who knows what rank in tech. --- Liquid fund manager is just another word for going all-in, right? Makes me laugh so hard. --- I’m speechless. Even pump and dump gets a KOL title. What a unique taste.
