Why Great Projects Can Still Be Terrible Investments
Back when I first entered crypto, I thought investing was simple. Find a great project. Buy it. Wait. Make money. Turns out, markets don’t work like that. In fact, some of the best assets in history spent years making their investors miserable. Amazon lost around 95% after the dot-com bubble. Bitcoin has crashed more than 80% several times. Ethereum fell more than 90% after the 2018 cycle. None of those projects were broken. Yet their prices certainly looked broken. That distinction matters more than most people realize. People often assume markets reward quality. I don’t think they do. At least not immediately. Markets reward expectations. And expectations are strange things. A mediocre project with low expectations can surprise everyone. A great project with impossible expectations can disappoint everyone. That’s why price and quality are cousins, not twins. Take $BTC Every bear market feels different while you’re living through it. Looking back, they all look strangely similar. Prices collapse. Confidence disappears. People begin questioning things they believed six months earlier. Critics come out of hiding and explain why Bitcoin was always doomed. And then something boring happens. The network keeps running. Developers keep building. New investors slowly arrive. Life goes on. Reality moves at its own pace while emotions move much faster. That gap creates opportunities, although it rarely feels like an opportunity at the time. It feels terrible. History outside crypto tells the same story. People remember Amazon as one of the greatest companies ever built. What they forget is that investors once thought it was finished. Not struggling. Finished. The stock lost almost everything. But customers kept showing up. Revenue kept growing. The business itself refused to cooperate with the market’s pessimism. Eventually the market changed its mind. The business didn’t. This is one reason I pay more attention to survivors than heroes. Heroes come and go every cycle. Survivors are much harder to find. Thousands of crypto projects have disappeared since 2018. Some had famous founders. Some had huge communities. Some promised revolutions. Most became footnotes. Bitcoin survived. Ethereum survived. Solana survived. That doesn’t guarantee future success. Nothing does. But surviving multiple storms tells you something. Weak things usually don’t last very long. Perhaps the strangest part of investing is that the best opportunities rarely feel comfortable. If everyone agrees something is amazing, chances are the price already reflects that belief. And when everyone believes something is hopeless, reality can quietly improve underneath the surface. By the time the crowd notices, the easy money is usually gone. Which means the market’s biggest rewards often go to people who are willing to look wrong before they are proven right. Not forever. Just long enough. History seems to repeat that lesson over and over again. #BTC走势分析
• JPMorgan expects $165B+ in stock selling from rebalancing. • A US-Iran deal could trigger a “sell the news” reaction. • USD/JPY is nearing levels that may force Japan to intervene.
Stocks, bonds, gold, and crypto could all get hit.
Instead of using delayed data, $PYTH gets prices directly from the institutions and traders that create them. With Pyth Pro, users can access different asset data through one integration, while Pyth Terminal makes it easy to explore live feeds.
A few numbers stand out:
• 710+ businesses use Pyth data
• $3T+ transaction volume secured
• 60% of the onchain perpetual market uses Pyth
• 114+ blockchains receive Pyth feeds
• 138+ first-party publishers provide data
• 3,000+ price feeds across global markets
Projects like $LINK , $ONDO , $HYPE and $INJ are all building financial infrastructure. Pyth is focused on bringing fast and reliable market data to internet-native finance.
AI agents are growing fast, but building and using them is still not easy.
That’s one reason why @0G Labs is one of my favorite holdings.
0G is building infrastructure for AI agents with a modular stack across Chain, Compute, Storage and DA. Its app is designed to make onboarding and deployment easier for users and builders.
0G is also focused on trusted execution and privacy-first AI workflows.
Some numbers worth watching:
• 300+ ecosystem partners
• 10,000+ target agents by Q4 2026
• $100M annual revenue goal
• $1B TVL target
Projects like $TAO, $RNDR, $FET and $NEAR are all helping grow the AI space. 0G is taking a different path by focusing on AI agent deployment and execution.
Personally, $0G has been one of my best holdings so far, and I’m still holding my position as the ecosystem keeps growing.
At $2.95 trillion, SpaceX has passed Microsoft and now ranks as the 4th biggest public company on the planet. As of June 2026, Nvidia is still far ahead. • Nvidia: ~$5T • SpaceX: ~$2-3T SpaceX would need to more than double while Nvidia stands still, or SpaceX grows much faster than Nvidia for years. Why SpaceX Could Win Starlink Starlink is the main reason. It is already a profitable business. 2025: • Revenue: ~$11.4B • Profit: ~$4.4B • Users: ~10-12M If Starlink reaches 50-100M users, it could become one of the world’s largest telecom businesses. Starship This is the real bet. Starship could reduce launch costs by another order of magnitude. If successful, SpaceX could dominate: • Satellite launches • Lunar missions • Mars cargo • Military contracts • Space manufacturing Most of SpaceX’s upside comes from Starship. Network Effects SpaceX controls: • Rockets • Satellites • Internet service Very few companies own the entire stack. This creates a powerful moat. Why SpaceX May Not Win 1. Starship Is Unproven The biggest opportunity is also the biggest risk. Repeated failures or delays could slow growth for years. 2. Valuation Is Already Huge Much of the future is already priced in. Perfect execution is expected. That leaves little room for mistakes. 3. Space Industry Size Morgan Stanley and McKinsey estimate the entire space economy could reach roughly $1-1.8T by 2035. SpaceX alone is already valued above that range. This means investors are pricing in businesses that do not fully exist yet. Why Nvidia Is So Strong Nvidia has something SpaceX does not. Massive profits today. AI training still runs mostly on Nvidia chips and software. CUDA created a moat that competitors have struggled to break. Every major AI company depends on Nvidia. Revenue and free cash flow are enormous. What Could Hurt Nvidia • Custom chips from Google, Amazon and Microsoft. • Lower AI spending. • Competition from AMD and others. • AI becoming cheaper and requiring fewer GPUs. But none of these threats have seriously damaged Nvidia yet. Deep Research View The comparison is misleading. Nvidia is selling picks during a gold rush. SpaceX is building infrastructure for a future economy. Nvidia’s advantage exists now. SpaceX’s advantage depends on technologies that are not fully proven. Base Case Nvidia stays larger through most of the 2030s. Bull Case For SpaceX Starship works. Starlink reaches tens of millions of users. New industries emerge around cheap access to space. SpaceX becomes a $10T+ company. Probability Can SpaceX surpass Nvidia? Yes. Is it the most likely outcome? No. The market is already valuing SpaceX as if many things go right. Nvidia does not need a revolution to justify its size. SpaceX still does. That is the difference. What’s your thoughts ? #SpaceX #NVIDIA
