There is also a category of projects where a bunch of unknown developers are brought in to endorse a certain cryptocurrency. The problem is that these endorsers themselves are not interested in the project at all, let alone have actually used it. This tactic has become commonplace in the crypto world, always the same approach, the same actors—just with a different coin as the shell.

Really, I can memorize this routine, and people still fall for it?

Ha, supply and demand curves simply can't explain this kind of thing; it's just naked information asymmetry scamming retail investors. --- It's the same old trick again, a textbook-level counterexample in economics textbooks. I always want to laugh when I see it. --- According to traditional art valuation logic, these projects are barely even scratches, but the crypto world eats this up—truly incredible. --- An unknown spokesperson pretending to be an expert, acting even better than a pimp. Floor price soaring a thousand miles a day—this is the Web3 decentralization spirit? It's hilarious. --- Schrödinger's spokesperson: loving the project yet never using it, a perfect embodiment of contradictory art—worth collecting. --- This is what you call a bubble period artwork, a living textbook of bear market philosophy. Watching it once saves ten years of life.

Really, I've seen too many of these leek-cutting tricks. Bringing in a few "celebrities" who have never even touched the project to endorse it, just to trick retail investors into taking the bait? This data model is obviously flawed.
