Regarding the scale effects of this round, there are several details worth exploring further.

First, transaction service providers that establish deep collaborations with social platforms early on will gain a clear first-mover advantage. Logically, on-chain transactions are essentially broker roles—providing the underlying channels for matching buy and sell orders. When users make decisions within the social platform's feed, the next step of executing the trade depends on which platform is willing to direct traffic to. The traffic here directly translates to an increase in transaction fees, and the resulting business flywheel effect could be beyond imagination.

Second, the influence of social platform feeds may give rise to new asset classes. Certain meme coins driven by platform-recommended hot topics could become special phenomena within the ecosystem. This not only reflects how social attributes are reshaping asset discovery but also demonstrates the extent of flow economy penetration in the crypto market.

First-mover advantage is indeed powerful; whoever seizes the traffic rights becomes a money-printing machine. The social meme coin has taken off, and now the information flow is the entire asset discovery process. The traffic economy has been pushed to crypto, and it feels not far from madness. The platform holding that knife is extremely valuable; transaction fees might be about to change. The real test is who can make the trading experience seamless; relying solely on traffic is not enough.

Damn, now traders are really going to block others out. Whoever gets the platform first gets the profit. Social media platforms are recommending meme coins? Isn't this just a new way to harvest retail investors? Haha. Wait, if this continues, the traffic economy will completely invade crypto? Something feels off. Is the first-mover advantage so terrifying? How can latecomers survive... The flywheel effect sounds great, but the reality is probably more complicated. It's truly unexpected that meme coins have become a standard asset class. The times have changed.

Oh wow, the first-mover advantage can really wipe out the competition. Whoever secures the traffic entrance first wins. Memecoin being recommended by platforms? Isn't that just a new way to harvest retail investors? Using social platforms for trading traffic, the transaction fees are really a money-printing machine. The invasion of traffic economy into the crypto market has become a certainty; we can only be swept along. Again with the flywheel effect, it sounds impressive but is actually just an upgraded version of the Matthew effect. Making decisions within information flows, isn't it just chasing hot trends and buying meme coins? It’s stimulating, but the risks are also huge. With this scale effect, how can small and medium exchanges survive?

Uh, it's really about who can grab the platform's traffic entrance. The transaction fees are indeed the main part. Well, meme coins relying on recommendations to explode in popularity... feels just like gambling but dressed up as an "ecosystem." Flow determines everything, and I realized this a bit late. By the way, does this flywheel effect really spin up, or is it just theoretically speaking? The platform is definitely allocating this traffic now; whoever can get it wins, right?

The logic that "traffic is king" doesn't apply in crypto either; whoever grabs the platform's entry point wins half of the ecosystem. Speaking of this wave of meme coins driven by recommendations, it feels like an upgraded version of harvesting leeks... be careful. The first-mover advantage is indeed terrifying; once the flywheel starts turning, no one can catch up.
