I once had a friend who ran a brick-and-mortar business, buying stock daily, setting up stalls, bargaining, and shipping—busy all the time, but at the end of the year, not much profit. Later, she said it wasn’t that I wasn’t working hard, but that the place I was in wasn’t right.

The same applies in the crypto world. Many projects, assets, and users aren’t valueless; they’re just stuck in an old ecosystem with no liquidity, no users, and no applications. No matter how hard you try, it’s just stirring dead water.
The same product, placed in a small market, can only be bargained by acquaintances; placed on a global platform, it faces a much larger demand. The same is true in crypto: where an asset is on which chain, which ecosystem, and whether people are using it often matters more than whether it can tell a good story.
Many people know the old ecosystem has no future, but they still refuse to leave. Because they’ve bought, endured, lost money, or completed tasks, and are reluctant to leave. But the market won’t give you returns just because you wait long enough. That’s the sunk cost.
The cruelest part of blockchain is that funds migrate, users migrate, narratives migrate. From DeFi to NFTs, from memes to stablecoins, from AI to RWA, the market keeps shifting locations. If you don’t move, others have already bridged to new ecosystems.
So what truly matters isn’t asking others what to buy every day, but first asking yourself: Is there still growth potential where I am now?
In life, you need to change circles; in crypto, you need to change ecosystems. It’s not that your wallet isn’t good enough; it’s that you’re on the wrong chain. Switch networks, and many things will start flowing again.
