WLFI is run by Westerners + Chinese Linea and ZKSync are run purely by Westerners The 'Chinese element' in a project is like MSG added to braised pork. If it’s too high, the project gets wild, and the behavior naturally becomes unappealing. If it’s too low, the project ends up being clueless and doesn’t know how to stir things up. What are the differences between mixed Western + Chinese teams and purely Western teams? 1/ Fundamentals are coordinated with price action. They don’t naively think that just relying on people in the community shouting about the token price will make it go up on its own. 2/ The peak and community enthusiasm are usually leveraged early after TGE. Chinese teams emphasize "landing safely," so there will be peaks and wealth creation effects, but they come fast and go fast. 3/ KOL discussions. In the early stages, there’s usually more buzz in the Chinese-speaking community, while the English-speaking community tends to be smaller in scale. Here’s the key point: How can you accurately distinguish whether a project’s team is purely Western or mixed Western + Chinese without knowing insider info? Actually, you can figure it out just by observing the content they spread. As long as it’s not a meme coin, purely Western teams’ Twitter content mainly focuses on: We’re great, our revenue is strong, our protocol/public chain is good in this way and that way. Basically, they’ll logically explain to you why it’s good. They’ll also produce a lot of promotional videos, community dialogue videos, etc., to show you that they care about every individual—slow and steady wins the race. On the other hand, mixed Western + Chinese teams’ promotional logic is: Just wait and see, it’s guaranteed to be good, super good. This project has xxx backing it, so it’s definitely going to be great. There won’t be many videos—just articles + emotion-stirring images, and they’ll gather a bunch of people to hype up the mood. Big moves create miracles.
