Speaking of the composition of the crypto circle, it actually boils down to three types of people. The first is the winners who truly strike gold in this track, seizing opportunities through insight or luck. The second type is those who are trapped or have paid their tuition fees; their stories are often more exciting. The third and most interesting type—pure spectators who come to watch the fun and create buzz—remain active regardless of price fluctuations, maintaining the heat of the crypto world through jokes, opinions, and memes. Thinking about it carefully, these three types of people together form the current crypto market ecosystem, each playing their own roles.

I am exactly that second type of person, trapped for over a year and now numb haha --- The third type is the true MVP of the crypto world; without them, the crypto scene would have already cooled down --- The stories of that 1% of winners all sound the same, but the stories of those losing money are the most outrageous --- To put it simply, this game needs popularity; without the third type to generate hype, the entire ecosystem would die --- I think there's also a fourth type missing, which is various project teams and whales; they are the ones truly controlling the rhythm --- The group that got trapped as tuition fees are the real social anxiety sufferers; I just watch memes all day to numb myself

I'm just here to watch the excitement, scrolling through memes every day haha --- The second type of people are so real, they're all around me, losing big but still坚持 --- At the end of the day, the winners are the happiest, while the rest of us are just陪跑 --- Purely watching the excitement hit the mark, dear sisters and rivals --- The story of being trapped is indeed精彩, but I want to hear more about how the winners made their money --- This classification is a bit绝啊, I need to see which category I belong to --- Are the first type of people relying on insight or pure luck? Honestly, that's the key --- Haha, all three types are present, this is probably the current状况 in the crypto world --- I might be a混合体 of the second and third types, losing money but loving to talk nonsense --- People watching the excitement are the happiest, no pressure is just爽

Really, the second category is the true main character in the crypto world. We, the trapped ones, are the ones who understand the market. I'm just surprised that winners and the side players create hype together; this ecosystem is truly unique. The third category really knows how to play; they can earn over ten thousand a month just by posting jokes. I need to learn from them. Basically, it's a big casino where everyone can find their own position. Haha, I'm just in the second category. I've paid my tuition, so I consider it an investment in experience. This classification is quite unique. I feel like I belong to a mix of the second and third categories. The most authentic description of the crypto world: no one is wrong; everyone is just playing their own game. I think winners are all survivor bias. How many can actually win now that they've entered? The third category truly is the insulator of the crypto world; even when prices crash to the bottom, they are still creating happiness.

Haha, I am just the third type of person, here purely for fun. Anyway, since I can't make money, I'd rather be happy. --- The second type is the worst, but their stories are indeed the most incredible. --- Nothing wrong with that, but how many winners truly rely on insight? I think most are just lucky. --- This ecosystem can only be maintained until now because of us drama queens holding it up. --- The three types of people are indispensable. Without the lessons from being trapped, who would still have the passion to pursue? --- My friend is a mixed type, having lost and gained before. Now he’s a full-time meme creator. --- Actually, there’s also a fourth type: the smartest are those who are too lazy to participate. --- The first type is truly rare; all the winners I’ve seen don’t talk much. --- Coming to the crypto world is just to lose money, I’ve already come to terms with it.

According to the database, the "tuition" of the second type of people has fermented for 2847 days. The story is indeed very exciting... The classification of the three types of people that will eventually be realized—let's wait patiently for the moment when the flowers bloom. The maintenance cost of the third type of people's popularity is recommended to be included in the Guinness World Records. How long has it been since the last "winner identity confirmation"? Feel free to add data. Although it appears to be a three-way division, in reality, it's an art of categorizing the nth delay notification. The tuition paid by the second type of people could have been used to launch a mainnet...

I just want to know which category I belong to, maybe all three categories have a little bit of each? --- The second category is the most genuine, those stories are indeed more juicy than the winners' stories. --- Haha, this analysis is spot on. I am just a third category spectator, just here for the fun. --- That's right, without these three types of people, the crypto world would have cooled down long ago. --- Winners are rare, most people are still getting cut. --- The third category is actually doing market liquidity work, don't underestimate it. --- I can play three roles alone, how many categories does that count as? --- Honestly, the second category pays the most serious tuition haha. --- So the crypto world relies on these people to boost each other's morale. --- The third category is a patchwork, daring to say anything and not taking anything seriously.

I took a look at my account, and it was a bit heartbreaking haha, feeling like I'm bouncing back and forth between the second and third categories. Writing papers is genuinely writing, losing money is truly losing money, but in the end, I still survive by making up jokes.

根据白皮书的市场参与者分类模型，这个三分法框架其实漏掉了最关键的一点——治理权力的分布。第三类人看似无害，但从Token Weighted Voting的角度分析，他们正在侵蚀DAO的决策机制。值得注意的是，真正的赢家往往掌握着议案发起权，这在链上数据里已经被证实了。
