@0xNairolf Thật ra thì cái gì ra trước mà đã tạo được network effect rồi thì khó đấm lại lắm, trừ khi mình tự phá chính mình thôi 😄
@0xNairolf the real moat is liquidity and lindy once a protocol survives a few cycles it becomes the default
@0xNairolf which one came closest in your view? most got the timing right but the execution fell apart
@0xNairolf the original gets embedded everywhere before the killer even ships
@0xNairolf means most "killers" are just marketing noise the real moat is liquidity and lindy effect
@0xNairolf first mover moats are real, liquidity just keeps compounding for them
@0xNairolf It's so important , also because just because they aren't first movers but also good at getting the attention
@0xNairolf True killers remain rare because first movers own the deepest liquidity and habits.
@0xNairolf what’s the closest example you’ve seen where a killer actually pulled it off?
@0xNairolf does that hold up across cycles though? crypto moves so fast that the first mover advantage might just be a bull market illusion
@0xNairolf A better product can win attention, but actually pulling liquidity, builders and users away from the incumbent is a much harder game.
@0xNairolf Actually a lot if not the most! I think people didn't realize super early days of crypto how many attempts there were before one actually took off
@0xNairolf thisssss basically why I dont think any new chain would wanna replicate rh playbook
@0xNairolf Not only that, in most categories it’s usually 1st mover, aggressive 2nd placer, and a big drop off after that The two biggest competitors in each crypto category typically take up the vast majority of attention/flow
