Recently, social media platforms have been frequently discussing large withdrawals, with news of KOLs and project founders cashing out and leaving appearing one after another. Making money and withdrawing is indeed a routine operation, but those who stick to it are even more worthy of respect.

Compare two different attitudes: one emphasizes the importance of fee sedimentation and rejects quick cash-outs in early interviews, while the other has an annual revenue of over a billion, fully reinvested into the ecosystem, operating without external financing or relying on paid market makers. The difference is not about who earns more, but about the commitment to the long-term development of the ecosystem.

Unfortunately, such perseverance seems to have become a scarce commodity.

To be honest, there are too many exit scams now, and only a few can really endure. Holding onto the ecosystem vs cashing out and leaving, I don't need to say which one to choose, but there are really few who dare to say no. Billions of dollars flowing back vs frantic withdrawals, isn't this just a matter of vision? Watching KOLs' exit scam stories every day, it makes those who stick to it look even more shining. Speaking of which, those who stay true are either genuine believers or have long-term plans; in any case, they won't expect to get rich overnight. These days, if you still talk about projects with promises, you really need to take a good look.

Honestly, the way they are cutting leeks now is becoming more and more blatant, which actually feels pretty heartbreaking. Over a billion in ecosystem funds flowing back vs large withdrawals, these are basically two different worlds, and the difference is obvious at a glance. Those who stick to it are actually being seen as fools? Is this what crypto is all about? Speaking of which, truly dedicated project teams are actually few and far between; most have long been planning how to cash out. Long-term ecosystem development? Uh... it feels like that phrase is almost becoming meaningless.

nah, the "commitment to ecosystem" narrative reads like cope tbh. technically speaking, you can't just verify intention through twitter posts—insufficient on-chain validation. those reinvesting billions? requires further auditing of actual wallet movements before calling it principled. not saying they're lying, just... trust but verify, y'know?

Those who truly stick to the ecosystem are indeed rare, but don't romanticize it too much; ultimately, money can solve most problems. Nice words are just faith; in the end, it still depends on who is actually doing the work. Over a billion dollars flowing back vs cashing out and fleeing—this is the real difference in having a bottom line. True builders don't need to emphasize how loyal they are; they leave when it's time to leave. The loudest talkers are often the most suspicious. In this circle, the most that can be said nicely is always just words.
