According to Odaily, Jupiter's co-founder, Meow, has expressed his belief in the importance of shifting the mindset in the cryptocurrency world from Player Versus Player (PVP) to Player Pump Player (PPP). He explained that while PVP communities hope that the last person to join becomes their liquidity exit, PPP communities hope that even the last person to join can win. By definition, PPP is an infinite game, while PVP is a deep finite game with a clear endpoint - the last person to take over becomes the fool.
However, PVP is prevalent because such communities are easy to form. People agree that attracting more people to buy the tokens they hold will make them richer, thanks to the magical token issuance mechanism. Therefore, they should do more of such things. In contrast, establishing a PPP community is extremely difficult because the core focus of the community should not be on attracting others and hoping to abandon them, but on having more allies and jointly building a common long-term future.
The future of cryptocurrency is definitely PPP, because even if 99.999% of new 'communities' are PVP communities, the enduring and prosperous 0.00001% are definitely PPP communities. The hallmark of great communities like Bitcoin, Eth, Sol, and hopefully Jup, is their commitment to helping every new person entering the network 'win', rather than treating them as a pile of money just to buy tokens.
PPP will ultimately win because it is the best way of thinking in the cryptocurrency field. It combines the essence of community vision and profitability. It is neither cynical nor delusional, but combines idealism and pragmatism. This is the only way forward in the crypto field because no community can survive being eaten from within.
Today, the bad reputation of cryptocurrencies as a form of PVP is due to the public often viewing them as internet currencies created and promoted by greedy bastards, and many projects abandon the last fool to take over through sweet talk. The core problem with this view is that it makes a lot of sense, and even the most serious participants often think so. What we can do is actively reject PVP communities, invest your time, energy, and resources into cultivating real relationships and expertise in PPP communities, rather than the short-lived 'dog eat dog' situation in PVP spaces.
If we devour each other instead of promoting each other, we will end up with nothing. Cryptocurrency may be an industry with no restrictions, so it is important to choose what game to play and which communities to join as an individual.
