These past few days, the NFT circle has exploded, with five Chinese characters flooding the entire internet. The underlying logic is quite interesting.
The reason this hot topic has gained popularity is not just because it coincidentally aligns with the Year of the Horse timeline, but more importantly because the personal IP behind it is strong enough. Think about it—it's like a line from a Spring Festival Gala skit that instantly becomes a nationwide meme—personal influence multiplied by industry status, the power is indeed astonishing.
But this also reflects a deeper truth: **Value has never been an objective existence; it is defined by certain key individuals**. A couple of years ago, everyone was desperately setting reminders for a certain tech mogul's social media. Now, a few top figures in the industry are gradually becoming new focal points of discussion. In simple terms, the power to set prices lies in the hands of those who control the team of the God of Wealth.
Taking ecosystem development as an example, a leading exchange's strategic layout over the past two years has been quite methodical. Looking at the influence of its ecosystem partners, there are two levels of key figures, and they are both top-tier operators. Data from the past year also proves this—its BSC blockchain under that exchange has outperformed Solana in the MEME track, and its wallet products have beaten other competitors. This is definitely not luck.
Rather than obsessing over whether a platform is the best, it’s better to see who is defining the next direction of the entire industry. By 2026, following the true industry leaders' direction will always be the right choice.

Basically, it's still about choosing the right people; value is something that gets inflated.

That's right, pricing power is essentially the right to speak.

Basically, it's still about choosing the right people. The pricing power is too crucial in Web3.

Basically, it's a game of information asymmetry and discourse power; whoever has a louder voice can define value.
