#数字资产市场动态 Recently, I discussed a topic with a friend. He said that instead of struggling to rush forward, it's better to settle down and focus on doing the work. As a result, this conversation made me re-understand the game rules of the entire crypto circle.
**People Generally Live in Illusions**
Many people keep repeating the same phrase: "Persist in building, time will give us the answer, liquidity will come eventually." Sounds reasonable, right? But in the crypto world, especially with Meme coins and retail markets, this is basically self-deception.
**What Triggers Liquidity?**
Ultimately, liquidity has only one trigger: a short-term crazy surge + widespread attention across the internet. There is no second way.
**The Harsh Truth of the Crypto World**
This is a reality many are unwilling to admit:
- Attention focus ≠ How much is built
- Attention focus = Influx of liquidity
- Attention focus = Price skyrocket
Conversely, even if you work hard every day, if no one is watching, it's all in vain. No attention means no liquidity, and without liquidity, the project slowly sinks in dead water.
**Don’t Use "Building" as a Shield**
How many projects are there on Solana? How many in the Ethereum ecosystem? It’s impossible to count. But what truly keeps a blockchain alive is never those silent development efforts — it’s the round of crazy, brain-melting FOMO market hype.
**Building and Liquidity Are Essentially Opposites**
This reality is very harsh:
- Continuous building ≠ Market focus
- Market focus ≠ Long-termism
- Market focus = Explosive price surge
If you want liquidity, you have to accept the arrival of explosive growth. If you want to do things slowly, don’t expect liquidity to come knocking on your door. These two things are fundamentally incompatible. Choose one path; you can't have both the fish and the bear’s paw.
