Recently, I've increasingly noticed that those who treat long-termism as a consumption logic are losing quietly.
Labubu is a typical example——
Yesterday it was in demand, today it’s a burden.
Everyone thought they picked up an "appreciating asset,"
but it turned out to be just a bubble built on emotions.
Then many people started to wake up:
Blind boxes will drop, trendy toys will drop, limited edition merchandise will drop, celebrity collaborations will drop……
But the common trick of these things is:
To make you believe you are buying the future, not toys.
And this is completely opposite to the logic of many people hoarding USDT and buying $BTC .
When the wind for Labubu stops, no one picks it up.
The stronger the wind for USDT, the more stable it is.
Because behind it stands liquidity, credit, and consensus.
Trendy toys rely on hype.
USDT relies on demand.
Let’s look at $BTC again.
The real rise is due to global liquidity, halving cycles, and institutions entering the market.
It’s not because of a statement like "it will rise,"
but because an entire logical chain supports it.
But why did Labubu drop so quickly?
Because it lacks consensus,
it only has emotions.
Trendy toys rely on "hype raising prices,"
$BTC relies on "cycles determining trends."
Trendy toys rely on finding buyers,
BTC relies on history.
Trendy toys have a lifecycle,
USDT is a cash flow entry,
BTC is a long logic asset.
More critically:
Buying Labubu is consumption,
Buying USDT is value storage,
Buying BTC is allocation.
Many people are realizing for the first time:
The so-called "long-termism consumption" ultimately causes loss of principal,
while true long-termism is always related to assets.
Trendy toys can be collected,
but cannot replace a wallet.
Blind boxes can bring surprises,
but cannot replace the sense of security of principal.
The more expensive the consumption, the more anxious;
the sturdier the hard assets, the more secure.
So those who truly wake up understand:
Rather than scrambling for a Labubu, waiting for it to retain value,
it’s better to let USDT stabilize the position first,
and then wait for the next opportunity for BTC.
By the way, I wonder how the previously popular Labubu token and Popomart token (on-chain, not RWA's Hong Kong stocks) are doing now?? Did it explode in profits??
Long-termism is not in shopping bags.
Long-termism is in your asset structure.
