Good coins need the founder to run away.
A high-quality crypto project must have its founder sacrificed to heaven. Cryptocurrency emphasizes consensus, and the most basic consensus is the degree of decentralization.
A cryptocurrency project has two birthdays. The first is the day when the founder creates it, the white paper, the genesis block; the second is the day when the founder runs away.
It doesn't necessarily mean that the founder runs away, but only that the founder's influence is reduced to a certain extent. Specific manifestations include running away, retiring, being kicked out of the team, being imprisoned, etc.
Then everything is given to the community. This stage is a period of rapid development of the project and also determines the prospects of the project. At this time, everything depends on the quality of the community. At this time, the project may become a pyramid scheme fraud project because of a bad community; it may also be a legendary project incubated by a group of idealistic and ambitious people.
Then it will enter the "re-centralization" stage. The interesting thing about the currency circle project is that the head of the project is constantly changing, exchanging chips in a dramatic and bloody contest. In this process, a new kind of centralization is also formed.
For example, Doge has no founder, and Musk is the dog king. This may be the peak of a project. Whether it can develop in the future depends on liquidity and whether the chips can flow again.
