I recently came across something interesting. An app called "Is It Dead" has emerged in the internet circle and is going viral on social media. As I watched, I thought to myself, this approach is just like the logic of our crypto circle's pump-and-dump schemes—it's basically twin brothers.

First, let's talk about the project itself—an initial investment of 1,000 RMB, a minimal team of three post-95s, and from project approval to launch in less than a month, it was all done. Now, the founder wants to sell 10% equity for 1 million RMB, which implies a valuation skyrocketing to 10 million. Even more astonishing, this app is already profitable, not just a PPT pitch.

Why should traders pay attention? Because behind this is the real-life performance of the primary market logic in the crypto world. Rapid iteration to precisely capture market sentiment hotspots, leveraging ultra-low costs to achieve ultra-high valuations, with ROI more exaggerated than top-tier venture projects. The founder is quite honest: "Everyone's understanding is different." See, isn't this just a game of consensus?

The core point is—this app isn't selling technology or features. It's selling emotions, trending topics, and those "memes" that can make everyone collectively agree. Just like when we buy coins, sometimes we're not buying the project itself, but the story that resonates with us.

Since minimal startups can run and turn a profit, it shows that in 2026, consensus will be the biggest asset. Don't just focus on K-line charts; understanding how human nature and trending topics translate into value—that's the underlying logic of the primary market.

lmao the consensus extraction playbook is literally identical to liquidity mining incentive structures—except this time it's wrapped in dopamine-triggering ui instead of token emissions. the asymmetric returns are what gets me tho

Ha, to put it simply, it's about packaging memes to sell consensus. The crypto world has been playing this way for a long time. Starting with 1,000 yuan and valuing at tens of millions, this logic is called a funding round in the crypto circle. Consensus itself is the biggest whale; whoever tells the story best wins. Really, now everything is not about making products, but about controlling public opinion and emotions. This logic is no different from us speculating on "tudog" (low-quality coins), just switching tracks. The profits are outrageous; it feels like any trending meme app can harvest a wave of retail investors. By the way, this is the real primary market—pure consensus trading. So the key is traffic and heat conversion; technical features are actually irrelevant. This founder is really bold, openly revealing the tricks, and still getting investors.

It's the same old story, packaging memes to sell emotions. We've been playing this in the crypto circle for a long time. --- Starting with 1000 yuan valuation at 1000 yuan investment, isn't this just a copy of the Tudi Dog inscription? --- Honestly, the logic that consensus = value can cut through in a bear market. --- Basically, it's about exploiting human FOMO, but how long it can last is a question. --- Interesting, the internet is starting to imitate the crypto world, rather than the other way around. --- Making profits and still wanting to raise funds to boost valuation? I've seen this many times. --- The real primary market logic is leek relay; whoever is still around at the end loses. --- So these days, innovation is just moving crypto tricks into apps. --- Investing 1000 yuan initially and getting a 10 million yuan valuation, but without a next-round backer, it all ends in zero. --- Meme economy is indeed popular, but can it last? Let's see in half a year.

Damn, starting with 1000 yuan and valuing at 10 million? Isn't that what we always say, "Consensus is assets," just with a different shell. Who can tell a story wins, no matter the tech. Hey, the founder honestly says "understanding varies," which is ridiculous—it's like saying "Do whatever you want with understanding, I just cut." The app is already profitable... alright, I see through it. By 2026, it'll be all about fooling people to make a living. I'm still studying candlestick charts, but now I'm studying human nature. Did I play this backwards? Getting from 0 to 10 million valuation in a month—this speed is mind-blowing.
