Many people in the crypto community give entrepreneurs the same advice: "As long as you create a good product, the token will perform well."

This logic sounds reasonable in theory. But what about reality? Web3 is evolving too quickly, and relying solely on this statement is not enough to sustain.

The products you develop in 2024 might be essential now, but they could become outdated by next year. Market iteration speed, user expectations, tokenomics design—these are all changing rapidly. Having a good product alone is far from enough; you also need to keep up with the ecosystem's evolution, adjusting your products and mechanisms accordingly. This is the key to surviving in Web3 projects at this stage.

Really, just focusing on product features is already outdated; now you need to be a versatile all-rounder to succeed. --- A good product is just the ticket; the key is to stay alive and see next year, right? --- Last year's hit is already cooling off this year; the pace of Web3 is truly incredible. --- Without mechanism adjustments, just having a product isn't enough—you're just waiting to die, that's so true. --- Got it, you need the product, economic model, and ecosystem sense all to be online. --- What you said is spot on; projects that can't keep up with the iteration speed are now in the cold storage. --- So those entrepreneurs who only focus on building products are probably doomed. --- This wave is about vitality, not just product strength. --- Token economic design has been underestimated for too long; this is the real core. --- I just want to ask, how many projects dare to make major mechanism changes while developing?

Wake up, brothers. Good products ≠ token appreciation. This kind of thinking should have been discarded long ago. This is really nonsense. Things that are useful in 2024 will become antiques next year. The market simply doesn't wait for you. Honestly, projects that don't adapt to iteration now are basically doomed. Just focusing on technology isn't enough. If you don't understand token economics, no matter how awesome your product is, it's useless. If you can't keep up with the pace, you'll be eliminated. Web3 is this brutal. People keep saying that just making a good product is enough. But what’s the result? They all died. The key is to know how to adjust. Only through iterative improvements in product mechanisms can there be a way out.

A good product can't save the token either, that's the reality. Web3 is really competitive now, with product cycles so short it's ridiculous. Frankly speaking, it's about product + tokenomics + timing; if one link fails, everything collapses. Tired of hearing "good products come with traffic," wake up. Market changes are too rapid; last year's essentials have become trash this year. Poor mechanism design makes even the best products useless. Falling behind the ecosystem's pace means slow death, there's nothing more to say. This is the real truth of survival now, stop fooling startups.

You're absolutely right. This "Good Product Theory" should have gone bankrupt a long time ago. The one-year cycle of every new trend simply doesn't allow you to stay idle. Waiting for the market to come before iterating? The yellow flowers are already cooling down, and you still need to keep a close eye on ecosystem developments to adjust mechanisms. A poorly designed token economy is actually more deadly than a bad product. I've seen many good projects collapse directly because of this. Web3 is like that; having a good product is just the baseline, survival is the real test. Yes, that's why many teams made a lot of money last year and disappeared this year. Honestly, you need people who can both develop and operate. Having only founders is simply not enough. It seems most entrepreneurs are still using traditional internet ideas to play Web3. No wonder they are being phased out.

A good product does not necessarily mean a good token performance. It's indeed a bit late to realize this now. The market evolves so quickly that a superstar product from last year could become obsolete this year. This is no joke. The key is to be adaptable; projects that can't keep up with the rhythm die the fastest. Really, I've seen too many "perfect products" fail in the end just because their mechanisms couldn't keep up. If you don't understand tokenomics, even the best products are useless.
