The other night, a heavyweight figure in the industry discussed the current state of ecosystem development during a live stream. He mentioned that a certain mainstream public chain ecosystem is very stable and large-scale, with highly active participation from builders — reflecting the overall health of the ecosystem. More importantly, he openly stated that the price potential of this chain still remains huge, and he personally holds a large amount of its tokens.

What does this statement imply? It’s not just a confidence boost, but also a long-term bet by the top levels of the ecosystem on the future.

In the crypto market, many people habitually chase hot topics and follow trends, but real gains are often hidden in the patience of "holding." If you are optimistic about the future development of crypto, believe in the power of compound interest and time to create miracles, then it’s worth finding a project you truly trust and holding onto it. During the wave of the market, you can also harvest ecosystem airdrops — why not?

Big shots investing heavily themselves are indeed more convincing than just talking nonsense... But on the other hand, are we retail investors holding steadily? I've heard this ecological narrative too many times, and in the end, it all comes down to who can run faster. Airdrops are indeed attractive, but the premise is not to lose your principal, brother. The difference between holding and being trapped is just a story; if told well, it's called faith; if not, it's called being cut. That's quite right, but the reality is most people give up before the wave even arrives. Hey, he has such a large position... I have to be more cautious, what if he secretly offloads? Every time I hear this kind of argument, I think of my experience being trapped in the last cycle. Now I’m a bit hesitant to touch projects I’m optimistic about. Compound interest and time... the problem is, I can't handle the psychological stress of the fluctuations.

Big shots holding so much, it shows there's nothing to hide --- Another call for holding positions, I’m familiar with this routine --- Taking this seriously is the end of it, beware of getting caught with the bag --- Airdrops are more reliable than token appreciation haha --- Hold steady? Easier said than done, many have cut losses in the bear market --- Ecosystem health? Let’s look at interaction data first --- Long-term holding yields the most, just afraid you can’t wait --- Anyone can talk about this logic, the key is to choose the right chain --- Here we go again, every big shot claims their chain is the best

Alright, I believe in the fact that the big shots hold a large amount of tokens. The problem is, after they finish talking, do they start dumping the market? I've heard too many times the routine of "I’m optimistic, so I hold," but we still need to see how the subsequent trend develops. Honestly, whether the ecosystem is good or not depends on whether developers are involved. Airdrops are not urgent; just being able to wait for that day is already good. Holding with patience? Ha, my patience is already at the stop-loss line. These days, who still believes in the calls of heavyweight figures? Doing your own research is more important than anything else. Mainstream public chains are stable, no doubt, but is it the ecosystem that’s stable or just the account balances of these big V influencers?

It sounds like another round of "I hold, so you should hold" tactics. Where's the data? Let the on-chain evidence speak. --- Ecosystem activity ≠ price potential. These two are not the same Excel sheet, my friend. --- Airdrop harvesting? I looked at historical data. The higher the participation, the more expensive the gas fees, and the arbitrage opportunities are actually eaten up. --- Holding tokens by influential figures can be seen as a long-term bet? According to this logic, every coin I hold is a matter of faith. The problem is, most of them are in the green all the way. --- Wait, does he mean "ecosystem health" has specific indicators or is it just a feeling? --- Compound interest and time create miracles? It depends on capital efficiency. Holding dead coins for ten years versus high-frequency hedging for ten months results in vastly different outcomes. --- What I care about is fee model optimization, not how good the story is. NFA.

Hey bro, this is just calling out orders, with such a big position, how could I not shout? Haha --- Sounds good, but isn't it just trying to manipulate the market? Do you understand what a conflict of interest is? --- Really? Just listen to this kind of statement, don't take it seriously. --- Wait, does he hold a large amount of tokens? Then this statement becomes very interesting... --- "Hold steady," easy to say. How do you hold in a bear market, brother? --- Can airdrops recover my losses? That's all I want to ask. --- Another top-tier figure supporting, same old tricks. --- I also want to have as many chips as he does to "make long-term bets." --- Talking about holding a large amount of tokens, isn't that just endorsing your own position? --- Indeed, you can only trust him if you have skin in the game. That's true.
