you can just write off any project playing low float high fdv games and getting cex listings on day 1 it's so obviously the wrong thing to do for your community and believer-base that you can safely just assume they're not in it for the long term

polymarket is a great example of the power of having a unique insight and building towards a non-consensus future it gave them years to experiment and build a great product in a market with no incumbents and few competitors and now that it's a consensus good idea they're way ahead of the onslaught of competition in product, brand awareness, integrations, capital, etc and can ride the wave of growing attention on the category
