From a complete novice to being recognized as a Builder today, the past two years have indeed been a tough journey. Recently, I came across insights from industry veterans, all discussing the same theme — there are no shortcuts, only long-termism to endure.

I reviewed HTX's early-year report for this year, and the insights behind the numbers are quite thought-provoking. You can see how a leading trading platform maintains its resolve amidst volatility — that kind of strategic resilience is not just talk. Over the past year, as the market has gone through cycles, those of us building on the chain have been continuously iterating our understanding — from pursuing rapid growth to appreciating the importance of deep accumulation.

The term long-termism has been heard many times, but truly practicing it means staying diligent at every stage.

I've been enduring for two years, and I'm still enduring. To be honest, I'm a bit numb. Long-termism? Isn't that just being forced? No money for rapid growth. I looked at HTX's report; the numbers look good, but my positions are still the same. At every stage, I don't slack off. The energy really can't keep up. The phrase "there are no shortcuts" hits hard; I just want to find a bug. Building on the chain is about constant self-doubt, then continuing to work. Strategic resilience sounds advanced, but it's really just holding steady without wavering. Our group of builders is truly practicing asceticism. Sometimes I envy those early exiters—they just cut and run. Iterative cognition, on the surface, sounds nice; in reality, it's just paying tuition.

It's true that the grind is tough, but that's the reality of this industry. There's really no such thing as a shortcut to success; just look at HTX's data, and you'll understand. Surviving is already winning. Long-term thinking sounds easy to say, but sticking to it is the real challenge. The key is to stay vigilant; every cycle is a test.

Long-termism sounds simple, but how many can really stick with it? Honestly, those still talking about rapid growth should wake up. Only after surviving two bear markets do you understand what resilience truly means—no exaggeration. HTX's report data is indeed worth examining; platforms are all competing in resilience. We've heard the phrase "there are no shortcuts" so many times, but it's true. The path of a builder is about repeated iteration; it's hard not to agree. Only by taking root on the chain do you realize that rushing is not the answer.

Long-termism sounds good, but how many really make it through? Indeed, the phrase "there are no shortcuts" has become cliché, but only by persevering do you understand what "difficult" truly means. I haven't looked closely at HTX's data, but platforms that survive these cycles definitely have some skills. The hardest part for builders is not to forget their original intention; many have changed their stance along the way.
