Why do decentralized computing power networks always fail? The root cause is often not that complicated—it's very easy to start the supply side, throwing money to activate a bunch of GPUs is effortless. So what’s the hard part? The hard part is keeping them alive. The real test comes from demand fluctuation cycles. You need not only the number of GPUs online but also whether these computing powers can stay stably online amid market booms and busts. This is the key factor that determines the life or death of a computing network. Incentive mechanisms must be synchronized with actual demand; otherwise, any hardware investment is just wasted effort.

At the end of the day, it's an economics problem. If incentives are misaligned, it's doomed. These projects are just burning money to buy GPUs and waiting to die.

Basically, it's easy to burn through money, but hard to sustain. I've seen too many projects die here.

Ultimately, it's a supply and demand matching issue. Anyone can burn money to launch, but the real challenge lies in sustaining operations over the long term.

Basically, it's just that the economic model wasn't set up properly. The money-burning strategies are all over the place. When the bear market hits, everything will be screwed.

Basically, it's easy to burn money but hard to survive. These projects are all thinking about how to attract miners, nobody is thinking about how to create demand.

Basically, it's easy to burn money, but hard to survive. Who pays the electricity bill during those days when GPUs are idle?
