The crypto market operates as a pure meritocracy—arguably the most ruthless competitive arena ever created. Winners dominate, the unprepared don't survive. There's no middle ground here. You either adapt fast, execute flawlessly, and deliver real value to users, or you get eliminated. It's sink or swim in its truest form. Every project, every trader, every exchange faces the same brutal reality: excel or exit.

This sounds very nice, but my quantitative models tell me that the reality is much harsher... Those so-called "pure competition" projects, 90% die from liquidity exhaustion rather than technical failure. If you ask me, this binary view completely ignores the essence of market cycles — anyone can survive a bull market, but the real淘汰 happens during the two years of bottoming in a bear market. Data doesn't lie. Another piece of motivational fluff, packaged as market truth... but it indeed hits my anxiety points. Okay, I admit I also held onto this illusion when doing T. Looking at historical data, the cleansings in 2018 and 2022 make it clear — it’s not because they weren’t good enough and got淘汰, but often because capital conditions and macro cycles directly crushed them. Even the most hardcore projects can't withstand it.
