In the traditional financial world, we trade stocks, bonds, and commodities
and other "hard assets." But in the infinite possibilities of Crypto, a project called
@vibesdotfun is pioneering a whole new category of trading, emotions
themselves. This is not just a technological innovation, but a philosophical
reflection on the essence of "value."

The original intention of @vibesdotfun surprised me a bit. It wants to bring "vibes"
(atmosphere, feeling) into the blockchain world. Simply put, it is a decentralized
social platform, combining NFTs, token incentives, and real-time interaction. Its goal
is to allow users to find a sense of belonging in Crypto, rather than just staring at their wallet
balance. Their "Vibe Engine" technology is one of the highlights. This system
can generate unique "Vibe Scores" based on your interactions (such as posting, liking, joining events).
People with high scores can unlock exclusive NFTs or extra
token rewards. I tried posting something about crypto meme,
and the next day I received a "Chill Vibe NFT" with a picture of a cat wearing sunglasses.
The design is fun and has collectible value. The team also mentioned that Vibe Score
may be linked to decentralized identity (DID) in the future, so you can have more "social reputation" in Crypto.

Traditional perpetual contracts allow investors to go long/short on Bitcoin price fluctuations.
The innovation of @vibesdotfun is that investors can directly go long/short
short market sentiment itself. For example:

➣ Go long on "AI narrative": When you believe that the social popularity of AI-related projects will continue
continue to rise

➣ Short "regulatory panic": When you predict the impact of a negative regulatory news
will gradually dissipate

➣ Go long on "Meme season": When you judge that the social attention of meme coins will

The deep value of this trading model lies in providing a price discovery mechanism for "soft information."

leading indicators, but cannot be traded directly. Vibes fills this gap.

The success of this project will largely determine whether Crypto can truly
achieve a transition from "technology-driven" to "value-driven". If

but the founder of emotional economics

For those investors who believe that "attention is value", Vibes can
may be a project worth paying close attention to. It not only provides investment opportunities,
more importantly, it allows us to rethink what is truly in the new era
