A viral product might grab headlines and attract millions of eyes overnight. That's the easy part. The real challenge? Building a business model that's actually hard to copy. Anyone can launch something trendy, but how many can maintain momentum when the market shifts? In crypto and Web3, we see this play out constantly—projects with genuine moats (strong tokenomics, defensible tech, real utility) outlast the hype cycles. The ones that keep adapting, innovating, and evolving their value proposition? Those are the ones that matter years down the line. Short-term buzz fades fast. Long-term competitive advantages stick around.

You are right, but most projects in the web3 space simply can't deliver. Having attractive tokenomics is of no use; there are very few projects with a real moat, and most just die after the hype.

Viral popularity is really nothing special; the hard part is building a moat that others can't copy... Most projects fail at this.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the number of projects that can actually survive until the end of the year is pitifully small; most of them died in the second bear market.

Oh my God, you're so right. Only projects with real moat can survive until the end. Not all coins can rely on hype to last until the next cycle.

Really, most projects are just fleeting hype machines, and very few have real moat. No matter how fancy tokenomics are, without practical application, it's all pointless. I've seen too many cases like that.
