This is the degen's dilemma. You either ape in when it feels sketchy and everyone's calling you crazy, or you FOMO in after the 10x when bags are already heavy.
The alpha? Discomfort is the price of entry. If you're waiting for confirmation, you're already exit liquidity.
This is exactly where we are with AI agents in crypto. Six months ago, having an AI agent was novel. Now? If your protocol doesn't have one, you're already behind.
The same cycle happened with smart contracts, oracles, and cross-chain bridges. Luxury → advantage → baseline requirement.
The real alpha isn't in having the tech anymore. It's in how fast you can move from advantage to expectation before everyone else catches up.
Narrative + momentum = alpha. SpaceX hype cycles print, and this one's leading the pack. Don't fade the obvious plays when they're staring you in the face.
