If a major platform truly launches financial functions, communities that hold a certain cryptocurrency long-term will become the strongest driving force. This is essentially the process of consensus monetization. But on the other hand, what kind of coins will users truly accept? Who will repeatedly use them on exchanges? Who can survive the market tests over ten, twenty, or thirty years?

This question is much more important than short-term hype. Even projects backed by institutions or controlled by capital may not withstand the test of time in the long run. Ultimately, the market is still decided by users. Strong coins will become stronger, while projects without real application scenarios and community consensus, no matter how well packaged, are just fleeting.

From this perspective, although Dogecoin originated from grassroots, its survival over the past decade proves something — it has a genuine community, practical utility, and more importantly, resilience tested by time. This kind of long-term survival ability may be more valuable than any marketing gimmick.

Grassroots coins have been around for over ten years, making them more solid than those projects that boast about fundraising extravagantly. This is the real deal.

Well said, but I just want to ask, why are those institutional coins still messing around?

Dogecoin is truly amazing. Surviving for over a decade is the best proof, while projects that raised hundreds of millions of dollars often can't survive a single bear market. Don't be fooled by flashy marketing; the ones that ultimately survive are those with real users actively using them. Consensus isn't something that can be faked; it only works if people are actually trading on exchanges repeatedly.

Dogecoin, this kind of unconventional approach, has lasted the longest, which shows that nothing is more solid than a community. As for those project coins that raised over a billion in funding, no one uses them anymore.

Haha, here we go again with the topic of cutting leeks... Wait, the example of Dogecoin really hit me; it indeed has lasted longer than many big projects. The coins that truly survive are those that people don't specifically hype up but last longer anyway. What does that indicate? The concept of consensus monetization sounds fancy, but honestly, it depends on whose users actually use it, not just holding it to wait for appreciation. That institutional endorsement... I've seen plenty of it, but it doesn't necessarily work; it still depends on whether there's real value underlying it.

You make a good point, but the number of coins that truly survive is few, most are ruthlessly crushed by time. Dogecoin's resilience over more than ten years is indeed remarkable, evolving from a meme coin to having real applications—this is the true moat. Who do you think will be the next to last for thirty years?

Dogecoin indeed proved a lot of "professionals" wrong. No hype, yet it lasted the longest, quite ironic. Institutional coins repackaged are still just paper, users are the real gold and silver. In the short term, look at the price increase; in the long term, see who isn't eliminated by the market—big differences there. A ten-year survival rate is much more reliable than what the white paper promises—that's the real test. Without real application scenarios, they will die sooner or later, no matter how much capital is invested. Having a community means resilience; this logic is sound. Really, hype coins tend to cool off first; only those with practical use can endure. Turning consensus into value sounds fancy, but it’s really about who can survive and laugh last.

Exactly right, the only cryptocurrencies that can survive this long are really just a few; the rest are just follow-the-leader pumps.

Dogs have indeed proven their worth to survive until now, but to be honest, in the past ten years of the crypto world, I haven't seen anything... The real test is still ahead. Talking about consensus realization sounds pretty advanced, but in the end, it's still about who can survive in the bear market—that's the real gold rush. Institutional endorsement? Ha, sounds better than it is. In critical moments, you still have to rely on the community's real money.
