Tokens are the product! Understanding the essence of global finance is the same as analyzing the market. 👇 —————— ⭐️ Let's start with the underlying logic: 1. Product Thinking vs Financial Thinking Many people believe that creating an amazing product is enough to win. This is typical product thinking. However, in reality, financial thinking is the key. Tokens are essentially financial products—they are carriers and amplifiers of value. 2. What is the essence of market analysis? It’s about identifying liquidity flows and predicting market sentiment. This is exactly the same as token operations; both require capturing the attention flow. Here’s a specific example: Traditional VCs evaluate projects by looking at the team, the product, and the data. But in the cryptocurrency space, the most important thing is the tokenomics. Why? Because the token is the product itself. No matter how great Uniswap is, without its token, it would have been overtaken by SushiSwap long ago. ⭐️ Three-Stage Methodology: Stage 1: Create Expectations Stage 2: Attract Liquidity Stage 3: Realize Value This isn’t about exploiting others; it’s the essence of finance: - Fiat systems rely on central banks printing money. - Stock markets rely on share buybacks by listed companies. - Cryptocurrencies rely on token incentives. Key Difference: Traditional finance centralizes liquidity control, while decentralized finance (DeFi) competes for liquidity in a "decentralized" manner. Finally, here’s a truth: 90% of so-called "technological innovations" are not as impactful as a well-designed token model. This is why Justin Sun succeeded, while the "tech-focused" projects you admire have failed. Remember: In the crypto world, if you don’t know how to play with tokens, it’s equivalent to not knowing how to do business. If you don’t know how to analyze the market, it’s like not knowing how to read financial statements. Think about it yourself.
