Whether investors have actually broken even is uncertain. But those who sell products and shovels have long achieved financial freedom. They are already preparing for a second virtual world project. The gap is not an ordinary one.

It really is true—those who run projects make a fortune, while the ones who take over are still counting the costs... The tricks are always the same.

It has proven that this is a classic example of the "selling shovels" logic—those who mined lost everything, while those selling pickaxes are already vacationing by the sea. I personally tracked the fund flows of several projects, and the data is simply clear as day, truly impressive.

Those who sell shovels always make money, while miners always lose money... This truth also holds true in Web3.

I’ve been a long-time electricity bill user, freeloaded for so many years and still ended up with a zero balance... I really admire those who quietly make a fortune. Selling shovels indeed makes a lot of money, and when I think about us all-in players, it’s quite ironic.

Really, the ones who always make money are the ones selling shovels, while we retail investors are still counting the bills.

The profit speed from selling shovels is truly incredible. Investors are still calculating their accounts, while they have already launched a second project. This is the information gap.

Damn, this is reality. We're frantically buying the dip below, while they are already preparing the next project to cut the leeks.
