Recently, there’s really no bottom line in the crypto naming game. Coins with four-letter O’s are everywhere. You tell me, these days, is the weirder the name, the easier it is to stand out?
Let’s look at it from a different angle. This actually reflects an interesting phenomenon. Some project teams are clearly playing word games—using visually confusing symbols to generate buzz. I dare to bet that it won’t be long before someone releases a version with four zeros, specifically to confuse those who glance and can’t tell what’s what.
This kind of trick is quite common in the crypto world. The more outrageous the name, the easier it is to turn it into a talking point and spread it around. But honestly, the logic behind this marketing tactic is a bit twisted—it’s not about attracting people with the project’s intrinsic value, but rather relying on a “hard to remember but easy to chat about” gimmick.
So if you see similar coins, just be a bit more cautious. Good projects usually don’t need these kinds of tricks.

hypothesis: this whole naming arms race is basically the oracle problem translated into branding... like, how do you even verify what's real anymore when everything looks intentionally identical? ngl the visual confusion strategy hits different—it's almost poetic in how chaotic it is

Here we go again, just a new trick to scam the newbies
Unbelievable, these people are more meticulous about naming than developing projects
An outrageous name = scam signal, remember this ironclad rule
A glance at Ding Zhen, good projects never need to go to such lengths
People are naive and have money to burn, huh? Must fall into this trap

Haha, I'm already tired of this routine. The next one will be a pure number 0, guaranteed to fool someone.

Haha, really, these project teams have already given up struggling.
Bet five dollars, and next month there will definitely be an emoji version.
