Darwin's Theory Applied to Cryptocurrencies

達爾文理論應用於加密貨幣

Darwin's evolutionary theory posits that adaptability to one's environment is crucial for survival. The same principle applies to cryptocurrencies, where survival depends on the health and structure of their ecosystems. To ensure their longevity, developers must prioritize building robust underlying networks.

達爾文的演化論認為，對環境的適應對於生存至關重要。同樣的原則也適用於加密貨幣，其生存取決於其生態系統的健康和結構。為了確保其壽命，開發人員必須優先考慮建立強大的底層網路。

Defining Crypto Health

定義加密健康

Unlike living organisms, crypto health is determined by specific factors within the web3 ecosystem.

與生物體不同，加密貨幣的健康狀況是由 web3 生態系統中的特定因素決定的。

• Distribution: The number of token holders diversified across a wide range of wallets.
• Transaction Variety: The frequency and diversity of transactions, indicating a sustainable level of activity.
• Token Flow: The movement of tokens between wallets, reflecting the existence of meaningful transactions.

Avoiding a single dominant holder is crucial, as it inhibits transactions and undermines token value.

分佈：不同錢包中代幣持有者的數量多樣化。的存在。

Measuring Network Health

測量網路健康狀況

Blockchain's open-source nature allows for tracking of transactions and measurement of network health parameters. By analyzing these metrics, we can identify thriving and declining ecosystems. Patterns associated with manipulation or crime can also be detected, increasing token risk.

區塊鏈的開源性質允許追蹤交易和測量網路健康參數。透過分析這些指標，我們可以識別繁榮和衰退的生態系統。與操縱或犯罪相關的模式也可以被偵測到，從而增加代幣風險。

Bitcoin and Polygon: Success Stories

比特幣和 Polygon：成功案例

Bitcoin (BTC) has established a healthy network with approximately 106 million holders and a 58% share of the total crypto market cap. Its high transaction volume (over 400,000 daily in 2024) contributes to its stability and value.

比特幣（BTC）已經建立了一個健康的網絡，擁有約 1.06 億持有者，佔加密貨幣總市值的 58%。其高交易量（2024 年每日超過 40 萬筆）有助於其穩定性和價值。

Polygon (MATIC) has also built a robust network with over 633,588 wallets holding its token. Its regular transactions (over 4,100 daily in 2024) and varied usage indicate its strength.

Polygon (MATIC) 也建立了一個強大的網絡，擁有超過 633,588 個​​持有其代幣的錢包。其定期交易量（2024 年每天超過 4,100 筆）和不同的使用情況表明了其實力。

Dogecoin: A Cautionary Tale

狗狗幣：一個警世故事

While initially experiencing popularity, Dogecoin (DOGE) has failed to establish a healthy network. Its price spikes have been driven by short-term hype and pump-and-dump schemes. The majority of its holders are concentrated in a small number of wallets (535), demonstrating a lack of transaction diversity.

雖然狗狗幣（DOGE）最初受到歡迎，但未能建立健康的網絡。其價格飆升是由短期炒作和拉高拋售計劃推動的。其大多數持有者集中在少數錢包（535 個）中，表明缺乏交易多樣性。

Despite recent surges, Dogecoin remains a high-risk investment due to its unsustainable growth pattern.

儘管最近價格飆升，但由於其不可持續的成長模式，狗狗幣仍然是一項高風險投資。

Focus on Network Health, Not Price

關注網路健康，而不是價格

The success of cryptocurrencies depends on the health of their underlying networks. Developers should prioritize building robust ecosystems with sustainable and diverse transactions, rather than solely focusing on price increases. By doing so, they will lay the groundwork for long-term growth and value creation.

加密貨幣的成功取決於其底層網路的健康狀況。開發者應優先考慮建立具有可持續和多樣化交易的強大生態系統，而不是僅僅關注價格上漲。透過這樣做，他們將為長期成長和價值創造奠定基礎。
