Interesting phenomenon: the same project team performs very differently on different chains. Projects on the BSC chain have recently experienced frequent outbreaks, while similar projects on the X chain have had long-term low market capitalization. What does this reflect?

On one hand, the BSC ecosystem is indeed more active and has higher trading heat, with a large user base. On the other hand, when some well-known figures start to favor and endorse projects on a certain chain, it often drives market expectations. But here’s the question—if the same project team’s deployment on the X chain is also worth paying attention to, why can’t the heat catch up?

This may indicate that the differences in on-chain ecosystems are not just technical issues, but more about user psychology and capital flow. BSC has already formed its own hotspot effect, and for emerging chains to break through, having good projects alone is not enough.

Basically, it's the Matthew Effect. BSC has already won. Funds flock to the hot spots, and no matter how excellent X Chain is, you still have to wait in line.

Basically, it's still capital following the trend. When a big V endorses BSC, everyone rushes over. --- This is the herd effect; it's really not that complicated. --- No matter how good the project on Chain X is, if no one pays attention, it's dead. --- If BSC can explode, why can't Chain X? It's purely a matter of public opinion bias. --- After all this, it's still about who can invite bigger KOLs to the platform. Technical solutions are no longer important. --- It seems the only way for emerging chains is to spend money to invite big V influencers. What kind of investment logic is this? --- Psychological expectations determine everything. The more you say it will be popular, the more it will be popular. Isn't this Ponzi? --- The same code on two different chains with different prices is a common operation in the crypto circle. --- Where the capital flows, that's where the hype goes. Nothing strange about it. --- Actually, more users on BSC mean more money. Chain X is still working hard to break out of its circle. --- So the problem isn't the chain itself but people's hearts, right? It sounds very reasonable but also somewhat powerless.

Basically, it's just people moving upward. BSC is now that "high ground," and funds are pouring in there. No matter how good the X chain is, it's useless without big V endorsements.

In simple terms, it's just following the trend. When BSC becomes popular, everyone rushes in, and no matter how good X Chain is, it's useless. --- Really, celebrity effects can overshadow everything. No matter how strong the technology is, it can't compete with a single tweet. --- That's why I only play on BSC. I feel like no one is interested in projects on other chains. --- So ultimately, it's a liquidity issue. Money flows where projects are, and that's where the growth happens. --- X Chain is really too cold. Good projects are just coldly ignored and die, what a pity. --- It's all because these big V influencers don't give new chains a chance. They only stop once they've fully understood a chain. --- Wait, are you saying that the same project team performs completely differently on two chains? That must be market psychology, not the project itself. --- Rather than ecological differences, I think it's more about gambler mentality—people bet where there are more people. --- BSC is the winner-takes-all, sad but true.

BSC is just a black hole for traffic; once hot money flows in, it can't escape. Honestly, it's still about the number of people; no matter how good the project is, if no one pays attention, it's all pointless. Influencers' endorsements really decide everything; technology becomes secondary. It's a pity about those projects on X chain; the ecosystem is still too cold, and cold start is too difficult. Psychological expectations have been played to the max; BSC is now a self-reinforcing cycle. Well said, for a new chain to turn around, it still relies on marketing and luck, not product strength. So, in this circle, it's better to be a marketing genius than just doing projects. The Matthew effect on BSC has already taken shape; new players entering are too passive.
