When the entire internet starts discussing "raising lobsters," is it a Web 4.0 illusion or a real opportunity?



Recently, everyone's friend circles have been flooded with one thing: that "red lobster" (OpenClaw) with over 200k stars on GitHub.

Some people are looking at appearances, some are looking at code. This is what Web 4.0 is like right now.🦞

After interacting with quite a few high-net-worth clients at Websea, I discovered an interesting phenomenon:

Those people who used to be obsessed with various "exclusive circles" have recently quieted down. People are no longer chatting about which coin is about to pump; instead, they're discussing how to deploy OpenClaw on their own Mac Mini.

This is what they call the Web 4.0 era:

AI is no longer just a tool that writes code—it's an Agent with "hands." It can help you monitor on-chain data, automatically execute complex rebalancing logic, and even help you deal with those damn market swings while you're sleeping.

But don't celebrate too early.

Those riding the Web 4.0 wave, even packaging themselves as "coin girls" to sell AI auto-trading robots, are essentially no different from the tactics from ten years ago.

You think you're raising "lobsters" to work for you, but in reality, you might just be a lobster in someone else's pond waiting to be cooked.🛡️

As a key account manager, I've added one more thing to my follow-up services:

Helping clients distinguish between "real AI productivity" and "protocols wrapped in AI shells with hidden traps."

Tools change, but human nature doesn't.

You can raise lobsters, but don't become the dish yourself.

Today we're not talking about pumps and dumps—let's talk about how to survive a little longer in Web 4.0.
