From the perspective of exchange operations, the founder's recent moves are worth paying attention to. Shifting towards prediction market derivatives trading seems somewhat off the main business focus. For a trading platform, solidifying spot and contract trading, maintaining liquidity and user experience are the most core competitive advantages. Blindly expanding into cutting-edge sectors may instead disperse resources and affect the stability of the core business. Focusing on what you do best often outweighs chasing every hot trend.

Bro, that hit home. You haven't even stabilized your core business yet and you're already thinking of new tricks. I've seen this pattern too many times.

Hmm, still messing around with derivatives again. Can't sit still.

That's right, nowadays founders like to do whatever they want, mining everywhere. --- Predictive markets are really hard to grasp; it's better to focus on improving trading depth. --- Another one who does whatever is popular; the fundamentals haven't even stabilized yet. --- Indeed, liquidity is the key; everything else is just superficial. --- Wow, wanting to try new tricks again; this time it's derivatives. --- Resource dispersion is a surefire way to die; I've seen too many examples like this. --- Core competitiveness sounds simple in theory, but few can truly maintain it. --- If you can't do spot contracts well, thinking about prediction is a bit overambitious. --- This is classic greed—wanting to have everything, but in the end, nothing is gained.

Haha, here comes another argument about "focusing on core business," but the reality is that exchanges must innovate or die. --- Predictive markets are indeed a tough and thankless area; it mainly depends on whether you can handle it. --- Contract liquidity is the real gold and silver; it can't be messed around with. --- That's right, but the problem is that the spot and futures contract markets are already in a red ocean; everyone has to look for new tracks. --- This wave of founder operations is a common problem of "wanting to do everything." As a result, they end up playing the piano with ten fingers. --- Wait, how's the depth of their derivatives? Filling this gap wouldn't be a bad thing. --- The core issue is resource allocation; spreading too thin will definitely lead to failure. --- Stop messing around, brother. Improving the existing user experience is the real deal.

Ha, yet another story of a founder who wants to do everything but ends up doing nothing well. --- He hasn't even figured out his main business but still wants to jump into the cold dish; I really can't understand this mindset. --- Agreed, liquidity is the key, everything else is虚的. --- Predictive markets? Bro, why not just go all-in on gambling instead? --- Resource dispersion perfectly illustrates that many exchanges have this problem now. --- Honestly, it's still greed; wanting to profit from every opportunity. --- But on the other hand, developing derivatives can also lock in more users... Is it really not worth it? --- I agree with this logic; instead of making the plate bigger, it's better to master what you already have.

Haha, you're so right. If you can't handle spot contracts well, you still want to play with derivatives? That's a bit funny. --- This trend of prediction markets can easily make people float. But if you don't maintain a solid foundation and just expand, it's like building a house on the sand. --- Honestly, I prefer those who push trading depth and speed to the extreme, rather than trying to touch everything once. --- The founder has been a bit greedy this time. Liquidity is the lifeblood of an exchange; everything else is just虚的. --- Really, resource dispersion is slow death. What happened to those projects that were all about quick gains earlier? Aren't they all gone now? --- Trying to chase hot topics every time results in not mastering anything, and in the end, users leave. --- This logic makes sense. Focusing on spot and futures, and making the experience smooth, you've already won more than half the battle.

Indeed, doing everything at once results in not doing anything well.

Bro, your words are spot on. But I see, some founders are just born to be restless. They haven't even sorted out spot and futures contracts properly, yet they want to play with derivatives. Isn't that a classic case of "big eyes and small stomach"? --- Prediction markets are indeed fresh, but starting to expand before the fundamentals of the exchange are solid is a bit unreasonable. --- Honestly, instead of spreading out everywhere, it's better to focus on perfecting one thing. Liquidity depth is the key, everything else is just superficial. --- Sigh, another person blinded by hot trends. It'll be too late to regret once the core business collapses. --- Sounds like this founder is a bit arrogant, forgetting their own capabilities. --- Derivatives are a trap. Many people want to jump in and end up messing up. Just look at history.
