To be honest, the vast majority of tokens will eventually go to zero; this is the harsh reality of the market. Interestingly, among the eliminated coins, many were once extremely popular and regarded as faith by a large number of people.

Every bull market cycle sees a rotation of hot topics—old tokens fade away, and new rising coins take the stage with crazy rallies. This cycle repeats itself.

To judge whether a project truly has a future, I find it mainly depends on two points:

**First, whether there is genuine creation.** Is there a real application scenario? Can the team truly solve problems instead of just talking about concepts? This determines how long the project's lifecycle can last.

**Second, whether it can tell a good story.** Projects with rich story material naturally attract attention and influx of funds. But this is only a short-term boost; in the long run, the first point still matters more.

The combination of these two is the core to judging a project's potential.

It makes sense, but honestly, most people are still fooled by the stories. Where have all the "believers" in zero-sum coins gone? Creating real value is too difficult; 90% of projects are just PPT coins.

Sounds good, but we all know that no matter how good the story is, it can't withstand a wave of bear market. Projects that truly survive are indeed unremarkable in the early stages. It's been clear for a long time that most are still betting on concepts. The problem is that coins with real applications are also hard to find. This theory is correct, but execution is difficult. That's right, but it takes real money and silver to verify. How many projects can cover both points? Don't fool me.

No matter how good the story is, it can't make up for the lack of application. Just look at what happened to those once-believed-in coins.

Telling stories to deceive temporarily, products can deceive forever, I believe --- It's the same theory again, but most people still only look at stories and not at technology, then end up losing everything --- The phrase "genuine creation" sounds easy, but how many projects have truly been realized? --- When the bull market arrives, it's all about faith; when the bear market comes, everything resets to zero. Cycles repeat, pure gambling --- There are many projects that fail at both points—they have no product and can't tell a good story. That’s truly damnable --- The ones who tell the best stories tend to die the fastest. I've seen too many --- Honestly, it's still about choosing the right track. Good tracks can sustain bad projects; a bad track is useless even if it's good --- The core is information asymmetry. Those who get in early think and earn as they wish; latecomers are just there to be the bagholders --- Looking at two points is useless; the key is whether you can catch the right trend. Technology and products come later --- Remember those former faith coins? Who still remembers them now? They've even forgotten their names
