Both being launchpad-type products, believe and virtual/bn alpha reflect significantly different operational philosophies.

Believe currently lacks a strong operational mechanism; at most, it has only prevented snipers. The so-called flywheel, although Ben promised, has yet to be pushed forward. I believe that even if it is eventually launched, it will not be very refined. It won't be like virtual/alpha, which is a perfect product where every pore exudes cleverness.

Veteran players in the crypto space are already adept at creating a refined product; the mechanisms are continuously improved, and success is inevitable, but the core is outdated.

What makes believe good is its uncertainty and openness. There is no mechanism that can guarantee its success; if it succeeds, we do not know where the upper limit lies. What they want to do is something that crypto native OGs would not think of.

Depin, AI, and the further integration of tradfi. Let go of the sense of superiority of crypto natives and embrace the new crypto space.
