People generally believe that the higher the TPS, the better the blockchain. TPS in the hundreds of thousands is often touted as the holy grail of technology. But what is the reality? The actual demand for global crypto settlement doesn't even reach 80 TPS. What about those so-called ultra-high throughput data? Most of it is just noise generated by bot trading, with no economic significance. The numbers look impressive, but their practicality is embarrassing.

The data shows that this is a joke. Ten thousand TPS is completely different from actual settlement needs. A pattern has been observed — the more aggressively a project promotes, the more likely it is to fail.

I have to be honest, the claim of ten thousand TPS is just standard Ponzi scheme rhetoric; the numbers sound good but are practically useless. --- It's all about the韭菜 (chives) harvesting mechanism, folks. The higher the throughput, the more exaggerated the fundraising story can be, and the bigger the game can get. --- I agree that 80 TPS is enough, but ask those project teams why they still need to fabricate false data? Just a risk warning, for your reference only. --- It's hilarious—the prosperity sustained by bots刷单 (fake orders) is essentially no different from a Ponzi scheme. --- The real economic settlement needs are actually not that many, but how else would project teams hype it up to harvest韭菜 (chives)? I’ve crawled out of that trap myself. --- Uneven chip distribution, fake liquidity, inflated trading volume... I’m tired of this韭菜 (chives) harvesting模式 (mode). --- If you still believe that high TPS equals a good project, I advise you not to get on board. The entry point for that has long passed.

Really, I'm tired of these projects bragging; a hundred thousand TPS is useless. --- Robot-generated order data being taken seriously, this trick is just ridiculous. --- Ultimately, it still depends on ecosystem implementation; having high throughput alone is worthless. --- Wait, does that mean the actual TPS needed for the mainnet isn't that high? Have I been fooled all along? --- Finally, someone has spoken out. Looking at those numbers just makes me want to laugh. --- Honestly, most blockchain transaction demands are far less than that; anyone who believes otherwise is foolish. --- Oh, I just remembered those exaggerated data claims from certain chains, haha, so embarrassing. --- So TPS isn't the standard for evaluation? Then what is the key point, everyone?

The group hyping TPS should have woken up long ago. If you can't even use 80, what's the point of a hundred-thousand-level? It's just a numbers game. It's just bots doing fake transactions. Real trading volume is easy to expose upon inspection. Who are they fooling with inflated data? The actual demand is right there. The project teams bragging are just trying to make you think they're using cutting-edge technology. Good-looking numbers are just that—good-looking. Only what can be truly used is valuable. The key is that people actually believe it. Claiming that just by hyping TPS they can get funding—it's laughable.

Bro, your point hits the nail on the head. Isn't 100,000 TPS just a numbers game? --- I've long been tired of those bragging projects; robot botting is their real skill. --- So, the actual demand is right there, and all these flashy metrics are just ridiculous. --- Wake up, everyone. If 80 TPS is enough, then it's enough. Is it interesting to compare sizes? --- It's easy to say nice things, but truly practical projects are few and far between. --- TPS is just like marketing data; as long as it can fool people, who cares if it's useful? --- Why not mention the chains that are actually in use? Instead, they keep hyping new concepts every day. --- I agree. Most high TPS claims are just a cover for cashing in. --- In real scenarios, it's never needed. Who are they fooling? --- I've seen through it all. Behind those pretty numbers, everything is fake.
