Crypto Market Trust Collapse: Founder Credibility Becomes Growth Engine
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Trust Collapse: The crypto market has seen a significant decline in growth due to rampant scams and fake metrics, leading to a sharp drop in trust that undermines investor confidence and halts traditional incentive-driven growth strategies.
- Founder-Credibility-Driven Growth: Founders are now central to building market trust through consistent public explanations and education, replacing the previous reliance on incentives and partnerships, which highlights their deep understanding and conviction about their products.
- New Market Discovery Model: Buyers are no longer discovering products through traditional marketing channels but through founders who repeatedly convey the same worldview and logic, emphasizing the importance of founders in educating the market.
- Shift in Growth Ownership: Control over growth has shifted from outsourced marketing efforts to the founders themselves, indicating that in a trust-scarce environment, the vision and conviction of founders have become the non-transferable engines of growth.
