For several consecutive days, readers have been asking about Virtual, especially regarding the recent price trends of its tokens.

Coincidentally, today I also saw a popular post on Twitter discussing the Virtual ecosystem. The poster stated that he/she "has been writing articles for two months, and all he/she got in return was xxx, and will never build a project like this again."

In the comments of this post, almost everyone expressed agreement with this viewpoint or echoed it, expressing dissatisfaction with the Virtual project.

The most commonly expressed points were:

• The effect of advertising for profit is very poor.
• Came too late; missed out on early projects that multiplied by dozens or hundreds of times.
• Holding project tokens long-term only leads to losses; one can only make quick trades.
• The logic of blockchain is to trap people.
• The project team's operations are all wrong.

Regarding the first point, I have never engaged in Yapping, so I do not know how the earnings from such Yapping advertisements are, and I cannot comment on whether these earnings are poor.

For the other points, I do not agree with any of them.

In my view, all these opinions are speculative.

Thoughts determine actions. The attitude and perspective participants use to view a project will ultimately yield the results they deserve:

If one views a project from a gambler's perspective, then their outcome will be that of a gambler; if one views a project with a speculative mindset, then their outcome will certainly be that of a speculator.

In the projects launched within the Virtual ecosystem, there indeed have been a number of early projects whose tokens have increased by dozens or hundreds of times, but the vast majority of that wealth is merely paper wealth. Unless one is exceptionally talented, it is generally difficult for ordinary participants to convert this seemingly exaggerated paper wealth into real gains through timely trading.

Therefore, I became completely immune to such "dozens or hundreds of times" surges years ago. I suggest our readers, especially those who have been navigating this ecosystem for several years, to also try to avoid being obsessed with such "surges." It is fine to discuss it as a topic casually, but treating it as an achievable goal is unrealistic.

In the crypto ecosystem, there are indeed many projects where "holding long-term only leads to losses," but there are also clearly projects where holding long-term leads to profits. This is a common rule that exists in any ecosystem. Even in the U.S. stock market, the vast majority of projects will incur losses if held long-term, with only a few projects yielding profits.

As for whether holding a project like Virtual long-term results in losses, I believe it is still too early to make that judgment.

The key lies not in the project but in the investors themselves, in their mindset and starting point, as well as the behaviors resulting from that mindset and starting point. If participants develop a habitual mindset that holding projects long-term leads to losses, that would be very detrimental. I believe that, aside from a few trading geniuses, the vast majority of those who achieve substantial returns on investments do so through long-term investments.

Regarding the statement "the logic of blockchain is to trap people," this is a typical "victim" mentality. Participants with such a mindset are simply not suited for investing; they are not suitable for investing in crypto assets or any investment field.

As for the project team's operations, since I became aware of this project, there is one operation I do not quite agree with:

That is, the project team stipulates that certain actions will be taken when the token price reaches a certain level.

This practice can easily lead the team to sacrifice long-term benefits for short-term effects.

The project team does not need to deliberately focus on the price trends of the tokens.

I greatly admire the approach of some publicly listed companies on Wall Street; they clearly communicate with Wall Street: our revenue for the next few quarters is not optimistic, and we expect significant discounts. If the stock price falls, it falls; as long as they focus on delivering results, they need not worry about the stock price not rising. Such value companies do not belong to speculators but to discerning investors.

Aside from that, while I may not fully agree with some other practices, I consider them to be minor issues.

Overall, I think this team is quite good.

Additionally, from a practical standpoint, several well-known AI Agents integrated into the Coinbase app were almost all incubated by the Virtual platform, and at least two of them were incubated during this round of Genesis Launches. Just based on this, it represents a significant achievement for the entire crypto ecosystem in this round of the AI + Crypto track.

Of course, whether these achievements can ultimately mature and take root, whether they can truly lead consumers to pay and generate cash flow and profits, still requires time. I will continue to be patient and hope they keep refining their work.

Seeing the above viewpoints reminds me of a statement I shared in a previous article: I worry that Virtual may not withstand certain community viewpoints and may go in the wrong direction.

I now believe even more strongly that for any project team, there is no need to pay attention to the behaviors and movements of short-term speculators; this segment of participants can be completely ignored. What truly supports a project’s progress are long-term investors and genuine consumers and users. The project team must persist in doing the right thing, genuinely addressing the needs of consumers and users, and providing returns to long-term investors. Short-term speculators are neither true consumers nor users, and they will not bring long-term value to the project; their presence or absence is inconsequential.

Returning to the Virtual project itself, I do not care about its recent price trends; as long as the team's efforts remain unchanged and the direction is correct, I will continue to wait and hold.

Of course, the worst-case scenario is that if the Virtual ecosystem does not show significant improvement, its tokens may go to zero. This risk is something that must be clearly understood and prepared for from the very beginning of participating in this ecosystem, rather than worrying now about whether it will go to zero.
