Why does the crypto market always have "new opportunities"?

There are always skeptics in the market: coins have been issued too much, opportunities are no longer available. After BTC, there was no innovation; after Ethereum, no new public chains; after meme coins, no more stories of getting rich quickly.

This logic sounds reasonable. From the ICO boom in 2017, to the explosion of ERC-20 tokens, and recently the emergence of inscription and zero-threshold token issuance platforms, the supply of tokens has gone from scarcity to explosion. It should have saturated by now.

But reality has proven them wrong. Whenever people think there is no room for innovation, smarter minds always come up with new ways and new stories of getting rich quickly.

Why?

Because what is truly scarce is never the coins—the coins are abundant. What is scarce are the opportunities to make money and get rich quickly. Hot money is not chasing coins; it is chasing scarcity.

As long as this scarcity exists (and it is almost eternal), hot money will continue to chase it relentlessly. The market and industry will keep generating new opportunities. Just like a mill owner who can always design new games, pulling donkeys into circles—donkeys will never disappear, and new mills will never be lacking.

The problem is, the vast majority of participants often overlook a cruel truth: the pursuit of making money and getting rich ultimately ends in losses and being wiped out. Using a limited number of donkeys to chase an infinite game, the ending has already been written.

The only people who truly make big money are—owners of mills (exchanges, token issuers), game-setters (market makers), and dream-builders platforms. Others? They are just providing continuous energy for this perpetual motion machine.
