A while ago, the prophecy indeed came true—the trading platform square evolved from posting to live commerce streaming, and the official execution capability is truly impressive. However, there is a reality behind this: live commerce streaming demands extremely strict requirements for hosts. Those who haven't been in the financial circle won't last more than a few days before being eliminated. This game hinges on human nature and professionalism; if you don't handle risks well, it can skyrocket. But on the other hand, those who do it well can have significant profit margins—it's just that this is definitely not a game for beginners. Currently, the entire industry is still in the exploratory stage.

The key question is: where will the square develop? I discussed this with industry friends, and the conclusion is definitely not limited to finance alone.

In the short term, finance, payments, and blockchain sectors are the foundational layers. These will only become more mature, and the ecosystem will become increasingly complete. But in the long run? If the platform aims to become a global internet giant, it must cover the full spectrum—clothing, food, housing, transportation, technology, and R&D. By then, the range of products that hosts can promote will explode exponentially, with opportunities in every sector. But the prerequisite is harsh—you need to understand the industry.

In simple terms, it's like crossing a mountain when changing fields. To make big money in this wave, you need to start paving the way for your professional development now. Hard skills are the foundation, no debate.

Live commerce really requires some skills; otherwise, you'll just get cut off. But the key is, everyone currently involved is thinking about quick profits, and no one is willing to take the time to improve their professionalism, which makes it very frustrating.

Hey, being a streamer isn't something just anyone can do; you need to have some skills.

It has proven that live streaming commerce is indeed validating market demand... However, the real risk lies in the lack of cross-domain capabilities. Currently, most streamers operate on a single chain, with almost zero interoperability.

Live streaming e-commerce is indeed a threshold; without a solid background in finance, you really can't get involved. It's like crossing a mountain to switch industries. It's still not too late to start accumulating now. The official execution is good, but the quality of hosts might become a bottleneck. Those who can do it will make a fortune, while beginners will just get cut. In the long run, the entire ecosystem will explode, but first, the foundation must be solidified. Finding the right track early is smarter than being forced to adapt later. You're right, this is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight. It really depends on individual ability ceilings; poor risk management is like adding leverage to commit suicide. The platform's ambitions are quite large. If they truly expand into so many categories, the ecosystem will become many times more complex. Currently, the exploration phase is actually a period of opportunity; the window won't stay open forever.

It seems to be another classic "centralized expansion" script. The platform's execution capability is strong, but this kind of incentive mechanism inherently amplifies human weaknesses—everyone wants to cash out quickly, resulting in a cycle of bad money driving out good money. High barriers to becoming a host are nothing new; the problem is: once the category explodes, are you sure the governance costs won't spiral out of control? Every vertical field requires professional endorsement, but how does the platform ensure information authenticity? Isn't this just another case of decentralized promises repeatedly hitting a wall? To be honest, "building professional expertise now" sounds reasonable, but in an ecosystem with distorted incentives, opportunists often make money first, while professionals get caught in the crossfire. The game equilibrium hasn't even been established yet.
