In a bull market, those who truly reap the benefits are almost all project founders or core team members; others mostly just share in the spoils.

Many projects that exploded in popularity during bull markets,

like the early founders of Pump.fun, Friend.tech, and Blast, really saw their fortunes soar overnight, with millions or even tens of millions in dollars being quite common.

Some independent developers create a meme coin or a small tool, and after launching, they are chased by the market, achieving financial freedom directly.

Therefore, the most reliable path is to become a founder yourself and build a project; ownership is the true key, while other roles are basically just side players.

In 2025, a rumor about a ratio

shows that the probability for founders is the highest at 80%, with other roles decreasing in order:

Top employees 9%, KOL 4.5%, traders 2.7%, Yappers 1.8%, moderators and Discord spammers each at 0.9%, and pure testnet users nearly at 0%.

What type are you?

In 2026, earning 1,000,000 dollars, it seems that to get rich quickly, one has to build their own project.
