Recently, I saw a top exchange's female CEO discussing a very down-to-earth topic—she said that the empire built by the founders is an important chapter in history, but the future requires new approaches. In her view, the core skill of being a CEO is "understanding what users are thinking."

This may sound simple, but for ordinary players like us, it's a strong hint: keep a close eye on the ecosystems the platform is heavily promoting, as that's often where you can spot opportunities early.

Simply put, rather than chasing every hot trend or listening to rumors, it's better to clearly see which projects the platform is investing in and which sectors they're focusing on—that might be the more reliable "gold-mining strategy."

Blunt but true. Following the right ecosystem essentially means following the right trend.
