#特朗普撤销欧盟关税威胁 Yesterday, the news of Farcaster being acquired by Neynar caused quite a stir, with the founding team collectively leaving and public opinion in an uproar. Some say it's "ecosystem relay," others shout "profit-taking at high levels," but these discussions are only superficial. What truly matters is: when core protocol developers withdraw, infrastructure providers step in to take over—what does this reflect?
I spent the morning analyzing on-chain data, and a few signals are quite interesting:
Large ETH holders have been increasing their holdings significantly this week, with several sizable OTC trades occurring overnight, keeping the price stable above 2200 without dropping below; tokens related to the Farcaster ecosystem have experienced minor fluctuations, but liquidity has not expanded, most people are still observing and there are no signs of actual exit; the inflow of stablecoins is indeed slowing down but has not reversed, indicating that incremental funds are still waiting for confirmation of the trend.
My judgment is quite straightforward: this is not a bearish signal but a structural opportunity signal.
The concept of decentralized social has been shouted for over three years, but practical applications have never made a major breakthrough. Now, with the team building the infrastructure taking the lead, it has instead become a more pragmatic start—founding team exit does not mean the protocol itself will die; on the contrary, it may release some burdens on startups and accelerate iteration. However, short-term sentiment will likely be affected, especially retail investors betting on "founder premium," who may be shaken out.
From an operational perspective, a few suggestions:
Before BTC and ETH break below key support levels, continue holding spot assets and avoid being led by such news; track the social sector but don’t bet heavily—let the market sentiment fully digest this wave before looking for a second entry opportunity; on-chain data remains healthy and upward, don’t over-interpret or scare yourself.
Remember one thing: negative news often presents a reshuffling opportunity; the real big moves usually start quietly when most people are hesitant and panicking. My view for Q1 remains unchanged: focus on recovery, hold your spot assets, and avoid reckless actions. $ETH

According to on-chain data, this wave of Farcaster events is indeed interesting. The founder fleeing is just the surface; OTC trading volume and stablecoin flows are the real signals. Large investors have already been accumulating at the bottom.

Another wave of collective panic over "founders leaving = project dead," typical of the retail mentality... People start shouting about decline without even understanding the on-chain data.
The real opportunities are hidden within the panic. When others are greedy, you panic; when others panic,... forget it, most people should just hold what they have.
This round of shakeout isn't strong enough; we're not at the entry point I consider ideal.
Retail investors are still tangled up in the "profit-taking at high levels" story, without considering what infrastructure takeover might really mean.
Wait a bit longer before jumping in, what's the rush...
Farcaster's liquidity hasn't expanded, indicating that no one is really fleeing; everyone is just watching. This detail has been overlooked.
Just look at the news for reference, don’t take it seriously; on-chain data is the real authority.
Keep holding your ETH, don’t let these distractions influence you.

It's that same narrative again: "Founders leaving = Opportunity"... Fine, on-chain data indeed hasn't collapsed, but I can't shake the feeling that this wave of public opinion management is a bit too smooth.
Honestly, I'm not that optimistic about Farcaster. Having infrastructure providers take over sounds professional, but it's really just another form of centralization—don't fool yourselves.
Wait, are you really taking the increased holdings of ETH whales as a signal? Who dares to trust on-chain data these days? Haven't many been caught off guard?

Accumulation is an opportunity. Retail investors get scared out, and we profit. On-chain data is right there.

On-chain whales are eating up the chips, retail investors are guessing wildly—it's the old routine.
Founders running away ≠ project dead; it might actually allow for more focused iteration. Don't overthink it.
The easiest way to make money is when news causes a sell-off. This round depends on who can stay calm.
Hold your spot assets well, don't let public opinion set the pace. See you in 2025 for the real show.

It's the same story again: when the founder runs away, they call it an opportunity; when retail investors suffer heavy losses, they call it a reshuffle. Just listen and don't believe it.
