The new project Origin is interesting. With a market cap of 800 million, but the business logic is eye-catching—completely copying the gameplay of OHM.

Do you know what OHM is? It’s a legendary project from five years ago, and its market cap still remains stable at 450 million. Using the same model, it’s still able to find new meaning today.

What does this imply? Looking at the entire crypto market, how many projects have survived five years? In the big waves, nine out of ten things have died. A model that can last this long inherently proves its resilience.

Origin daring to directly reuse this logic shows that the founding team has a very thorough understanding of market principles. Innovation doesn’t always guarantee victory; sometimes, proven strategies become even more valuable in a new era.

Wow, OHM is still alive. I thought this model would have been phased out long ago. Copying stuff from five years ago now actually becomes an advantage? That logic is a bit extreme. Is the 99% death rate figure serious? It feels like it should be higher. Is Origin really just lazy or has it truly understood the pattern? It's a bit hard to tell. Proven strategies > blind innovation. That sounds great, but what about in actual combat?

ngl, if OHM's still standing at $450M after five years... that's literally mile 20 energy. Origin just sprinting the same course doesn't sound crazy anymore, tbh.

Copying homework can also have a market cap of 800 million, which is ridiculous. OHM has really survived until now purely by luck, right? Alright, I support this copy-paste approach. Things that last a long time must have some substance. Projects that have survived for 5 years are few and far between. If you think about it this way, copying a model that has been active for 5 years is indeed reliable. Stop talking about innovation; the market just loves this old trick. Wait, isn't this just a rebranded OHM? Why pay extra to buy this... Origin's move is really daring; they can raise money just by copying. If I were the founder, I would do the same.
