There's a rather sobering perspective — do what fits your niche.
It sounds simple, but it actually reveals the truth of the industry. Take projects like "Kuzuo" for example; they have already reached the peak in their own track, which is not wrong in itself. But the problem is that this fully exposes how greedy this industry is.
Resources in each niche are limited. When leading projects hold their positions tightly like a fortress, the space left for newcomers to enter becomes smaller and smaller. Some people want to find new niches to share a piece of the pie, but the reality is — there may be no other positions available for everyone.
This is not a moral issue, nor is it about anyone doing something wrong. It’s just that, as the industry develops to this point, resource concentration is increasing, and the Matthew Effect is becoming more apparent. Some are already fully occupied, while others are still waiting outside in line. This harsh reality may be more despairing than any negative news.

Really, not exposing the truth is the greatest kindness. I've long felt this sense of suffocation; no one can change the monopolized situation at the top.

The Matthew Effect, to put it simply, is big fish eating small fish. There's nothing new about it.

At this point, newcomers really have no way out. Leading projects are guarding their positions like fortresses one after another. As for us? How long will we be waiting in line?

Basically, it's big fish eating small fish. Newcomers are just here to be served up.

ngl this is just opportunity cost disguised as philosophy. top projects squeezed their ecological niche to death, now there's literally zero basis points left for newcomers to extract value from. been saying this for months tbh... the real mev wasn't in the transactions, it was in capital allocation before everything got locked down lmao
