There isn't a single true answer to this, if there was, then we would all start a token and be great at it. It doesn't have a great answer to it because we can't really do the same thing over and over again and have multiple great projects.
Remember, there is also a situation where if a creator does a good job about making themselves rich, but nobody else rich, that project is a bad project, and yet the owners try to do the same for some reason. That's the problem in the crypto world, everyone only thinks of themselves and their own pockets.
Thread is 2 page now with over 20 replies. With that, I am sure that there is that correct reply or correct answer to the OP's question. The correct answer may not only be single though but there can be multiplies of them, unless if on a single reply, all correct answers were already enumerated. On our age now, it is now a piece of cake to create a token but this is only a simple one.
It is a different story anymore, creating a token with a very good long-term potential. Not all people are able to do that, as it was hard but it is also worthy ones they do so. Which is why market is full of crap projects. Projects only created for the sake of proving they are able to do it. Poor them.
I must agree with you, the correct answer may not only be a single one.
What's actually hard is building something people still need after the excitement dies down. Most projects out there were never really trying to do that. They were built just to prove it could be done — to say "look, this got launched." And once that's proven, there's nothing left underneath it. That's why the market is full of what it's full of. It's a little sad, honestly, when you think about it: all that effort spent proving a point instead of building something real.
The real accomplishment was never just the financial side. Money matters, no denying that — it keeps the lights on, it's a form of utility in itself, and it's fair to call it part of the win. But it was never meant to be the finish line. What actually deserves the credit is the value created, the help given to people who had nothing to do with building it, the benefit that's still there long after anyone stopped paying attention.
That's the difference between a project and a stunt. A stunt ends the moment the point is proven. A project keeps going because it's still doing something worth doing.Best Regards,
The Architect.
