Building for the long game



Sustainable blockchain networks follow two divergent paths. One route chases hype cycles and media noise—grinding for adoption metrics and viral momentum every quarter. The other quietly ships infrastructure, strengthens fundamentals, and lets adoption compound over years.

The first approach burns fast. Visibility spikes, then flatlines when attention moves elsewhere.

The second? It doesn't get the headlines. But it scales. The difference between projects that become footnotes and those that reshape entire ecosystems often comes down to this one choice: chase today's narrative, or build for tomorrow's reality.

Really, quietly making a fortune is the way to go. Projects that jump on trending topics every day should have been dead long ago.

Well said. It's just that watching these projects chase hot topics every day and experiencing short-term surges and crashes is quite frustrating... Truly visionary projects are indeed much more low-key, quietly building infrastructure, waiting for the ecosystem to mature so they can take off directly.

Honestly, projects that are still chasing hot topics are really foolish. Iron-blood projects quietly work on infrastructure without making a fuss.

That's right, that's the point. Most projects are just hyping themselves up to generate buzz, but little do they know that those who quietly make big money are the real winners.

Another article on the old and familiar topic... But to be honest, the projects that can truly stick around are indeed doing it this way. Those who jump on trending topics every day have long since cooled off.

True long-termists have long seen through it; those projects that jump on trending topics every day will eventually fade away.

Here we go again with the old clichés. Projects that truly stay silent have already died; now it's all marketing and packaging.
