Have you ever wondered why some ideas spread rapidly within the community while others gradually fade away? In fact, there is a scientific logic behind this — memetics studies exactly this phenomenon.
In the biological world, things are relatively straightforward: genetic information is copied, transformed into organisms, and these organisms compete for resources. Imagine DNA replication and transmission — it’s just repeating this process.
Human opinions and ideas also follow similar rules. Whether an idea can survive and how far it can spread depends on whether it is "easy to replicate." This is especially evident in the crypto community — a trading strategy, a piece of code, or a new concept, once it captures people's attention, it spreads like a virus across Discord, Twitter, and forums. Ideas that survive, are frequently cited, and improved upon often possess some competitive advantage: easy to understand, highly useful, or capable of resonating enough to trigger shared emotions.
In other words, the competition between good and bad ideas is quite similar to the logic of genetic competition.

That's why the most popular ones are always the simplest and most straightforward arguments; in-depth topics tend to be ignored.
