What exactly is the essence of digital assets? Are they just speculative tools or real applications?
This is a question worth pondering. Looking at the development paths of $WHY and other projects, you will find two completely different voices in the market—some treat digital currencies as gambling, while others see them as financial infrastructure.
Honestly, both exist. The key issue is not the coin itself, but the mindset of the participants. Short-term speculation does exist, but from the perspective of long-term blockchain logic, true value comes from practical application implementation. Whether a project can go far ultimately depends on what real problems it solves.
So instead of worrying about what digital currency is, it's better to ask what the project you hold is building and for whom.

Basically, it's about watching what the team is doing, not listening to stories.

There's nothing wrong with that, but I still think most people are just here to gamble, casually looking for a reason to justify it to themselves and build their confidence.

Basically, it's about whether the team is actually working or not. Don't talk so much.

Sounds good, but I think most project teams haven't really thought about the real issues at all; they're just thinking about how to make a quick profit and run away.
