Positive Suspicion Chain - How to Manufacture FOMO

Section titled “Positive Suspicion Chain - How to Manufacture FOMO”

From “The Three-Body Problem” fundamental theorem:

“I don’t know if you harbor goodwill; I also don’t know if you think you harbor goodwill; I cannot assume whether you think I harbor goodwill.”

In the “Dark Forest” scenario, the optimal solution is to strike first.

In market FOMO state, an unavoidable buying force forms:

ElementFunction
Eliminate communication possibilityNo sufficient time to analyze before decision
Zero-sum expectation consensusEarly buyers profit from late buyers’ losses, everyone knows
Unbearable opportunity costCost of missing out is too high
The moment Trump coin news drops
Market immediately pumps, market cap explodes
No time to verify, simple confirmation not hacked
Market consensus: External capital will definitely buy
Planet leader personally issuing coin, extremely scarce
Missing out = Historical loss + Friends laughing at you forever
No choice, must buy, maybe even all-in

FactorImpact
Speed of trend formationFaster → Less time for communication/analysis → Closer to instinct
Scope of angle consensusHow many people agree with trading logic
Event scarcityMore unique and unrepeatable → “Miss it, regret forever”
Crowd capital powerIf FOMO crowd has no capital → Price collapses quickly

Greatness cannot be planned, but FOMO can be

Narrative Propagation Pricing P(d):
P(d) = P₀ × e^(-βd) × S^γ × e^(-Rd) × A(d) × V(d)
Where:
├── P₀: Initial pricing at propagation origin (usually highest)
├── e^(-βd): Trust decay factor
├── S^γ: Scarcity factor
├── e^(-Rd): Replicability factor
├── A(d): Audience attraction
└── V(d): Crowd value (capital power)
Greater propagation distance → Higher audience understanding cost
Greater propagation distance → Lower price audience willing to accept
Scarce, unreplicable events targeting specific audiences:
└── Narrative pricing declines slower
Easily replicated, information-complex events:
└── Rapidly depreciate during propagation
November 2024 - February 2025:
1. Create information gap:
└── VCs use meme coins as vehicle, rapidly push hype, speed-run schemes
2. Exploit cognitive level differences:
├── AI professionals
├── → Investors who broadly recognize AI is future
└── → Regular traders who don't truly understand AI but know it's a trend
3. High replicability leads to narrative cooling:
└── Deepseek etc. go mainstream, flatten cognitive gap, narrative dies

The most valuable narratives must attract attention events beyond crypto’s core high-frequency users, capable of “viral propagation” potential, understandable by global average IQ

QuestionAnswer
Why “president coins” “celebrity coins” always have marketGlobally predictable cognitive groups, clear angle where missing out is unacceptable
Why non-US artist coins perform poorlyAudience not active on crypto platforms, high cognitive cost, lower pricing
Why event-type tokens perform betterDrama tension crosses crypto, propagation audience is dynamic process, events have natural scarcity
Why complex AI/DeFi narratives struggle to break outCognitive cost too high, consensus scope too small, low pricing
Why meme coins with big devs/leads trigger FOMONatural positive suspicion chain zero-sum scenario, data tools have no extra cognitive cost
Real World Attention > Real World Asset
Forming attention-based consensus
is
Much easier than
forming asset-based consensus
Americans probably can't recognize the asset value of Thai countryside houses
But
Local teenagers' TikTok meme videos
Americans can probably still resonate with

Implications for Market and Scheme Operators

Section titled “Implications for Market and Scheme Operators”
StepContent
Set boundariesMain system struggles with propagation model, carve out part specifically for propagation
Set systemUse meme/NFT fast-rising assets, or incremental pricing mutual-aid (VDS/Fomo3D)
Select anglePer RWA logic, choose narratives with low information complexity, broad audience coverage
Create eventsManufacture dramatic tension events as propagation vehicles
Problems:
├── Community leaders need offline meetings to teach and recruit
├── Even innermost circle has high cognitive cost
└── Young people no longer respect "systems, organizations", higher cost propagating outward
Solutions:
├── Reduce model narrative complexity (explainable in 3 sentences)
├── Design zero-sum scenarios that don't need explanation for propagation
└── Design entry as a Real World Attention event

Only three resources are truly useful:

ResourceFunction
On-chain proactive market makersHigh control for speed-run schemes
Network promotersActually stir up Real World Attention
Precise trading KOLs + Public mediaActivate broad market consensus

Other traditional crypto “fundamental narratives” are basically unimportant, just stories sold to exchanges, market makers, and industry influencers


FOMO = Information gap × Zero-sum consensus × Opportunity cost
Propagation Pricing:
├── Greater distance → Higher understanding cost → Lower price
├── Scarce unreplicable → Pricing declines slower
└── Cognitive cost curve crosses pricing line = Narrative death
Real World Attention:
├── More valuable than Real World Assets
├── Most valuable narratives attract global average IQ groups
└── Viral propagation potential
Scheme Principles:
├── Carve out dedicated propagation portion
├── Choose fast-rising asset vehicles
├── Select low information complexity narratives
└── Manufacture dramatic tension events
