A major exchange has invested in a project again, and the product that was once highly anticipated has cooled down. This actually reflects an interesting phenomenon — in the exchange ecosystem, no one truly wants to eat alone.

What are they doing? Using differentiated product lines like DEX to block competitors, while simultaneously predicting the market and developing various derivatives. On the surface, it’s about generating revenue, but in reality, it’s about continuous blood transfusions. The game rules are harsh: only products and protocols that can attract traffic qualify to become the "favorites" in the ecosystem.

Multiple strategies advancing simultaneously, with various players vying for dominance, may seem chaotic, but it’s actually a carefully designed competitive strategy. Whoever can survive the longest in this consumption war will be the last to laugh.

Think about it from a different perspective: today's unpopular products could be tomorrow's dark horses. The exchange's move is just a bet on the future. It's really about surviving the longest to win, but most projects die without understanding why. This round of funding feels like digging your own grave while trying to bottom out.

If I had known it would turn out this way, the projects I invested in would have been put on hold immediately. I'm tired of this trick.

Are you throwing money into projects again? I think you're just switching traffic代理商, brother. --- The term "continuous blood exchange" is used brilliantly, just like my margin ratio, being peeled layer by layer every day. --- Who can survive the longest? Come on, if you can't make it to the next quarter here, you're already a winner. --- Differentiated blocking? Basically, whoever locks the risk control points first wins. Let me check where my liquidation price is. --- Multi-line fragmentation sounds impressive, but it's really just betting on who gets liquidated more slowly. --- Superficial blood creation, but actually blood exchange. I deeply understand the project I went all-in on last year. Now I can only top up myself. --- Traffic is king. Products without traffic are like my wallet—once again, they get liquidated. --- Carefully designed consumption war? Playing financial schemes here? I'm more concerned about how long my collateral ratio can last. --- Who laughs last? I think it's whoever's lending rate hasn't exploded yet.

It's the same old trick, pouring money into projects, creating differentiation, blocking competitors, and cycling repeatedly. To put it simply, traffic is king. No matter how good a product is without popularity, it's useless. Wait, how long will this consumption war last? It feels endless. This is the real survival game—see who can hold out.

The same old tricks, just changing disguises to continue the scam.

Isn't this just a battle for supply lines in the military? On the surface, pouring money into projects, but in reality, paving the way for their own ecosystems. Those products that have cooled off? They should have given up long ago; the golden age of traffic is over. The ones that truly survive are not always the best, but the ones that can drain their opponents and manage their positions best. In this cold war, I only look at whose cash flow is the most resilient. DEX blockade? New tricks every day, heard that last year too. The key still depends on data—real trading volume is the hard currency, and I keep track of these. Factions vying for dominance? Ha, this is what survival first looks like. I've seen many projects die in the pursuit of the "all-powerful" dream, and they tend to die the fastest. Now I’ve finally learned to do some subtraction, a bit late. Honestly, this war of attrition is similar to the bear market of 2016; those who experienced that understand—only those who survive are qualified to talk about winning.

Really, this is the game of capital. Today they spoil you, tomorrow they abandon you. It's all so clear.
