牛来 is one of the first memes i’ve seen that genuinely makes sense in completely different ways to the East and the West

and that’s exactly why i think people are underestimating it

the West sees something foreign, absurd and viral

they don’t even need to understand the characters

they just understand internet culture well enough to know when something has the potential to spread

the East sees something completely different

牛 means bull/ox and “牛” is already deeply connected to bullishness, strength and even being fucking good at something

Chinese traders don’t look at 牛来 and see some random ticker

they read “the bull is coming”

that’s where this gets interesting to me

two completely different cultures
two completely different reasons for believing
somehow arriving at the exact same meme

the West sees virality
the East sees the bull arriving

and $牛来 sits directly in the middle of both

i genuinely think this cycle is going to have a much bigger Chinese influence than people on CT are expecting, and if that happens, having one of the first real Chinese ticker memes already spreading globally could become a ridiculous narrative

maybe i’m delusional

but i don’t think this is something you judge over the next few candles

short term creates narratives

time reveals which ones were actually real

and i still don’t think the East has fully arrived yet

that’s the part i don’t think is priced in

the horse runs

the bull arrives

牛来
