Brand monopoly is indeed worth pondering. Take companies like Moutai and Coca-Cola, for example. On the surface, they sell products, but their core competitiveness actually comes from brand effects and cultural accumulation. The brand itself forms a moat—a barrier that's difficult to cross. Why? Because a monopoly position directly translates into pricing power and profit margins. Once a company occupies the top tier of the industry, brand premium begins to ferment, and consumers' minds are long occupied. It becomes increasingly difficult for new entrants to break through. This is not only about product value but also the profit dividends brought by monopoly status. Therefore, companies that can establish strong brands often maintain the No.1 position in the industry.

At the end of the day, it's still about mental dominance. Moutai's approach is truly exceptional, with unlimited premium potential.

Honestly, the Maotai approach is about understanding consumer psychology. Don't think you can break through solely with product strength; once a moat is built, it's a dead end.

In plain terms, once a brand's moat is built, latecomers will be crushed.

Haha, you're right. The concept of a brand moat is the ultimate tactic of modern monopolies. I'm most convinced by the logic of Moutai; they're not really selling alcohol, but rather status and psychological cues. But when will Web3 be able to break this kind of monopoly? It still feels very distant. Once a mental hold is established, it's too difficult to shake, unless a revolutionary product comes along. But on the other hand, this logic also applies in the crypto world. The network effects of major cryptocurrencies are their moat. Brand premiums are everywhere; whoever controls the discourse wins.

Basically, it's about leveraging the first-mover advantage thoroughly; later entrants really find it hard to turn the tide. Moutai's success is actually built over time; winning early on was the key. Once a brand's moat is established, it's almost a dream for new competitors to surpass it. But then again, why haven't we seen such monopolies in Web3... The logic that consumers' minds are occupied also seems to apply on the blockchain; early projects really do this kind of bloodsucking.

Really, the playbook of brand moat works the same in the crypto world. BTC and ETH are the best examples. Basically, it's about pricing power—who gets in early wins. The Moutai approach works just as well in Web3; early entrants often just lie back and win. No matter how innovative new coins are, it's hard to shake the top position; mental dominance is too crucial. Monopoly position = premium = profit. This logic applies everywhere.
