Binance founder and former CEO Zhao Changpeng (CZ) stated during the Binance Square AMA event that GitHub submission activity is the primary indicator he uses to assess the long-term value of cryptocurrency projects. He believes that continuous development across multiple market cycles can better indicate a project's quality than price trends. CZ cited QTUM and NEO as examples, pointing out that both attracted widespread attention in 2017 but saw a significant decline in development activity afterward. He added that a founder's historical track record is equally crucial—if a founder changes projects every two years, the new project's expected lifespan may also be limited. CZ believes that the current bear market environment serves as a natural filter to identify truly mission-driven entrepreneurs.
