During this time, I've been overwhelmed by various 'official hints' and 'big sister metaphors' until He Yi directly named it. I realized that it wasn't the market that was too crazy, but that some people really treat screenshots and interpretations as a business. Binance's statement this time is not just a declaration, but more like pressing the 'calibration key' for the entire industry.
Let me clarify the key points: Binance has tightened regulations internally—employees are not allowed to issue tokens, promote, or get involved in any token projects. What the official Twitter account posts is operational content, not signals, nor endorsements.
The reason for emphasizing this so straightforwardly is that some people have recently taken 'misinterpretation' to an absurd level: from a single sentence, a screenshot, or even an unrelated emoji, they can forcefully twist it into 'internal hints' or 'official endorsements'. Then, they take advantage of this to issue tokens, pump prices, and sell off, wildly harvesting profits.
He Yi's statement that 'the fate of expression is to be misinterpreted' sounds helpless, but the attitude behind it is very clear: Binance will not keep quiet out of fear of being misunderstood, but will also never give anyone an excuse. Those who want to take advantage should not try to package daily operations as 'policy decoding'. In short, these behaviors of 'picking words to issue tokens' have nothing to do with Binance.
However, what is more worth discussing is: what kind of Meme can be considered vibrant?
In the Chinese community, some Memes come with marketing packaging, roughly fitting Web2 hot topics into Web3, like slapping on labels, with community consensus so weak that it pops with a poke.
The truly viable Memes, like the vulgar penguin, are not 'supported' by any project party but instead spontaneously explode in Web2 first, and then are naturally brought into Web3 by the community due to their content's charm and viral potential. The force comes from users, not from the right to interpret.
The community is always the soul of the Meme.
Those driven by consensus and culture can weather bull and bear markets; those supported by a few screenshots and a few 'official interpretations' mostly just evaporate quickly.
How to avoid falling into traps?
It's still the old saying—DYOR.
Official signals should only refer to formal announcements, not taken out of context.
Projects should be deeply researched, rather than just seeing who retweets.
Community activity, content creativity, and contract security are the real indicators.
Speculators rely on emotional games, while we stand firm with our judgment.
