Hot take: both "built to last" & "built to sell" camps are optimizing for the wrong outcome.
One group's building for community theater. The other's building for exit liquidity.
Neither's building an actual business.
The tokens that survive aren't the ones with the best governance or the smoothest founder exits.
They're the ones where people use the product because it solves a problem they're willing to pay for. Whether the token pumps or dumps.
Revenue beats speculation. Every time.
When your business model works without price action, the token becomes a multiplier instead of life support exit liq.
That's the only build strategy that matters when the market stops caring about your roadmap.
