Crypto friends, today I want to tell you a true story.
I. The initial sneer
About two months ago, I excitedly shared with a friend:
"Bro, there’s a project called Chainbase (C) recently, it's building full-chain data infrastructure, and it feels very promising for the future."
He sneered on the spot:
"Data? Too basic, right? Who in the crypto world trades such boring things? You might as well go for a meme."
At that time, I didn't say much, just silently put some of my position in.
II. Reality slaps
Not long after, the news came out:
• Binance has officially launched C;
• And also did a round of HODLer Airdrops;
• Community discussion has surged, the foundation announced the issuance of Grants.
My friend got anxious and came to ask me:
"Hey? Isn't this the Chainbase you mentioned before? Can I still get on board now?"
I can only helplessly raise my hands:
"Bro, opportunities always favor those who are patient."
III. Why do people always fail to understand?
To be honest, many people do not understand Chainbase, and the reason is simple:
• Too basic → No stimulating short-term trading excitement;
• Too innovative → Most people don't even realize that data is the fuel for AI × Web3;
• Too niche → Cannot see any direct relation to oneself.
But the fact is:
• Developers are already building applications using the Chainbase API;
• Node players earn long-term profits by staking C;
• Manuscripts written by developers continuously generate profit sharing.
This is not a 'fantasy of the future,' but a reality that is happening.
IV. Opportunities I see
• Capital recognition: Tencent and Jingwei invested $15 million;
• Exchange support: Binance listing marks mainstream endorsement;
• Ecological acceleration: Chainbase Foundation established, Grants are spreading;
• AI narrative: Theia model has been open-sourced, the entry point for AI agents is being laid.
Putting it all together, I only see four words:
👉 Being underestimated.
V. Conclusion: Don't be my friend
There’s a saying in the crypto world:
"The most painful thing is not losing money, but watching others feast while you miss out."
My friend initially found Chainbase too boring, and now he is regretting it.
And what about you?
Should we continue to focus on short-term excitement, or are we willing to bet on future infrastructure in advance?
Remember, opportunities always favor those who do not mind being 'bored.'
