Guan Guan, like you
When someone like you is behind me, I panic.
Once again, I lament that a phenomenal project needs to have no obvious shortcomings in all aspects.
Only after the product has passed can we compete on the spiritual ethos level of the moat.
Indeed, if we only wait for such opportunities to take action,
being a full-time crypto enthusiast would be incredibly boring.
It's still what Cai Lan said in his interview with Xu Zhiyuan:
"You have to practice to get a girlfriend."
"Kill the ugly ones; after doing it for a while, you'll become an expert."


These paragraphs in the screenshot were written around $HYPE TGE in 2024
Since 23 years of involvement with Hyperliquid
It seems that Twitter is all about Hyperliquid
Today, I will summarize the essence behind its becoming a phenomenal project
And take this opportunity to diverge and talk about the prevalent track thinking
Mobile phone code word stream of consciousness expression
Poor readability People who are destined to meet and understand it will meet and understand
Track thinking, which is useful and can make money
But there is no way of thinking that goes straight to the essence
This is because the easiest and most effective way for people to identify patterns is to judge them by the features on the surface
For example, a project is on fire
Just look for projects with similar tracks to invest in
Before Hyperliquid came along
The DEX track in the form of an orderbook in 21-24 is close to falsification
No one believes that this DEX can have a chance to surpass CEXs
This is because the attempts of both $DYDX and Binance Resources, which are taking care of the $APX openly and covertly, or the $GMX, have failed
From the track point of view$HYPE is just the next mundane project
This is the essential reason why many CTs are biased against Hyperliquid before the market opens
But often a phenomenal project is one that can bring up a track
After Hyperliquid became more and more impossible to ignore
People use track thinking to chase the so-called next Hyperliquid
For example, chasing a Lighter Backpack Aster and so on
This is understandable and able to make money in mindset
These projects are not bad either
But I want to capture the essence of a phenomenal product
We have to think a little deeper about what makes him special
This is because only by seizing Ryuichi can we have the opportunity to maximize our benefits
The same is a horse
After the red rabbit horse appeared, you went crazy to buy the same horse gadgets in the market
It's like a carp crossing a river
After making a small amount of money, only emptiness remains
Exercise your judgment through the target
It is the eternal issue of every individual in this market
So what makes Hyperliquid stand out
This can be seen in Figure 2
I think that the ease of use of the product is only the most basic surface
The top assets in the cryptocurrency circle all have a premium of spiritual attributes
The so-called real Cultish Community does not rely on cheap meme generators to send a few memes that are not funny at all, and then gmgn
Rather, it is a community of interests that is closely united around the team by generous distribution of interests
“community-owned”
You may sound cliché
But to put it another way
"Fight local tyrants and divide the land"
"The tiller has his field"
Familiar?
This is also Figure 1 Before the market opened, I set the tone for the core ethos of Hyperliquid
At that time, I never looked at the so-called revenue or OI data
This is because the story and the pattern of benefit distribution that leads to subsequent project progress determine that the ceiling is very high
A lot of project products can also do well
But follow the traditional method of financing
Naturally, 20-30% of the chips will be easily eaten by the rentier class and because of the cyclical factor of LP
Once you're gone, it's hard to give back to the project
This is also the reason why most VC projects have died in the past
However, it is not uncommon for large amounts of benefits to be distributed to the community
At the same time, it is not uncommon to have a strong leadership core
But the two are combined
The nature of the project has changed
This is because most smart teams are willing to cede benefits to VCs
In exchange for low-risk start-up capital
It's a smart man's choice, and there's nothing wrong with that
But a strong and visionary core leadership team
Use your own funds to help the project through the cold start
And transfer the benefits to the community to develop together
It's rare, rare
The essence of human nature is unchanging
The development of history will always be mapped in a certain time and space scene
Provide us with the wisdom to penetrate the superficial features and get to the essence
It's been a long time since I've seen a similar project in the cryptocurrency circle
