I think the Chinese crypto ecosystem is very complicated and sophisticated. I think there are a few groups, right? You do have the retails who are extremely sharp, right? They are literally aping Solana shit coins all the time and I suspect a lot of the Trump volume come from China and they're using this product called GMGN and guys you guys should check out. It's very good tool to use. So the traders I think the retails will just do what retail does. I think it's universal. So that's first group, right?
The second group in terms of builders, I think they're a really good Chinese builder and Chinese builder really good at building product that's focusing on operations and growth. So that's why Chinese are very good at centralized exchanges because operation heavy, right? And similar with like Binance, right? Binance had TikTok as ops heavy. So China has like centralized exchanges.
But I also think there's bunch of like central punk builders in China. I remember early days when Farcaster came there are so many enthusiastic Chinese builder who want to build decentralized social and that's because you know that's kind of needed in China right so I think there's like a lot of goodwill of Chinese builders they struggle to get to west the audiences because of messagings and language barrier which I think a lot of international builders face but I think that part of Chinese builders are quite neglected and the one who can actually speak good English like Stephen right they made a huge win because they combined this the knowledge of building products. They know how to run girls and they speak English. They get the message across.
So, so I think that's uh the builder category. I think the third category is actually researchers. I love checking out crypto Twitter, the Chinese crypto Twitter circle because they give me insights I can never see in the western media, right? The way that Chinese audience analyze liquidity, analyze technology, especially like okay, okay, you have this piece of technology, so what? Right? I think the Chinese researchers give a very good read on this that a lot of the western audiences.
So I think in summary extremely diverse, extremely vibrant. I think Chinese would never leave crypto just because where the country stands. I wish there are more Chinese founders who can have a bigger audience with a global crypto scene. But I think that's just going to take time. In the meantime, Chinese traders will rule any project. If you want to make a dance, you probably need to hire someone who's very good at, you know, knowing the Chinese community.
