Base's recent announcement has sparked quite a bit of discussion—about the strategic shift from social ecology to trading. How has this transition been received by the community? What are everyone's thoughts on this move? Do you think it aligns with the current market demand? Or do some believe it deviates from Base's original ecological vision? Overall, are the voices more optimistic or pessimistic?

Shift towards trading? Isn't that just reality? No matter how fancy socializing gets, without trading volume, it's all pointless.

Honestly, turning to trading is just reality, and the social ecosystem has long been proven to be useless. This isn't the first time I've seen this back-and-forth; anyway, I'll wait and see. If Base can really develop some trading depth this time, that would be good. I'm just worried it will end in failure again.

Social ecosystem changes to trading? Honestly, it's still about not having enough traffic to attract people. --- Switching to trading? Isn't that just another way of saying compromise? --- Rushing to make money before infrastructure is ready, but it's not a big problem. --- Anyway, it's all about making the data look good; the ecological vision and such have to be sacrificed. --- There are definitely many who are pessimistic; who wouldn't want a pure social ecosystem? --- In fact, this move depends on subsequent execution. It's too early to draw conclusions now. --- Changing social to trading, feels a bit like putting the cart before the horse. --- Market demand? Or is it funding needs, everyone?

Honestly, isn't this turn a bit too hasty and short-sighted? Another project with a shattered social dream; the reality is that trading is the only way to survive. Base's recent moves are really a bit out of place, swinging back and forth like a woman. The market loves this approach, but hopefully they won't mess up again. The social ecosystem has been dead for so long, yet they still think they can save it with trading—dream on. Those who are pessimistic actually understand better; this isn't a strategy adjustment, it's a surrender. There are really only a few projects that can do social well, and Base is no exception.

Social to trading, it seems like riding the trend, but can it really be done well? --- The step with Base is a bit rushed; it should further solidify the social ecosystem. --- Honestly, I support shifting towards trading; social is just a cover, right? --- Who says deviating from the vision? It was originally to attract traffic. --- Wait, are they really going to give up on social? Feels like they've been cut off. --- The market indeed needs trading depth, but can Base withstand the competition? --- I think it still depends on subsequent execution; just talking without action is meaningless. --- By the way, is this decision because the social part didn't take off? Haha. --- Anyway, I am quite pessimistic about it; being too aggressive is a bit...
