You remember the narrative, right? They swore up and down that all the market makers would abandon $HYPE instantly, that Lighter Protocol would seize control of liquidity and reshape everything overnight.

Funny how reality works differently. Market dynamics are rarely that simple. Liquidity providers don't migrate on a whim—they follow incentives, trust, and track records. What looked like an inevitably dominant shift turned into something far more nuanced, with multiple participants coexisting in the space.

It's a good reminder: market predictions built on single-outcome assumptions tend to age poorly. The trading ecosystem adapts, fragments, and rebalances in ways that rarely match the clean narratives we construct beforehand. Worth paying attention to how these competing systems actually evolve rather than betting on any one story dominating completely.

Haha, another big show of "tomorrow will dominate the world," but in the end, liquidity providers still eat when they should and sleep when they should. Actually, it's like bees in a garden; they won't give up the entire flower bed because of a new flower. It depends on incentives, trust, and past performance. The market never follows a script, and those confident single-thread predictions will eventually be proven wrong. Reality always tends to sprout unexpected branches. For us storytellers who make a living from narratives, we still need to learn how to observe how the system truly flows, rather than betting that a certain narrative will inevitably win.

It's that same "overnight revolution" narrative again, it's hilarious. The market isn't that simple.

Haha, once again "certainty" has been slapped in the face. These grand narratives are really prone to failure.

Haha, it's the same "overnight revolution" story again. Every time it's the same spiel. The reality is that LPs won't follow the trend. Whoever offers the returns, they go to that one. It's not that simple. It seems this circle loves to talk about grand narratives, but as soon as the market turns, it’s face-slapping. Isn't multi-chain coexistence better? Why insist on betting on a single winner?

Haha, this is the crypto world. Every day it's story-telling, and reality gives a slap in the face. The market isn't that simple, and LPs aren't fools, really. Multi-chain coexistence is the norm; those who insist on betting on a single outcome end up losing big.

It's that same "overnight revolution" narrative again, making me laugh. Reality isn't that dramatic. Human nature is at play; LP isn't a fool. You can't just say they will leave and they will leave. Watching the show is much more accurate than predictions.
