Why people stick with a chain: they treat you like a human being. They actually listen to retail. They let retail make money.

Last year there was a chain that was absolute trash. 90%+ of people got rekt (and I'm being conservative). Nobody plays it now. Nobody will play it in the future.

Retail loyalty isn't about tech specs or VC backing. It's about respect and shared upside. If your chain is just an exit liquidity farm for insiders, you're dead in the water.

The chains that survive this cycle will be the ones that remember: without retail, you have no liquidity, no community, no future.
