The core competitiveness of a distributed content delivery network actually lies in the concept of the 'infrastructure foundation.' Its straightforward goal is to solve the problem—how to enable content and data to flow at the lowest cost and with the widest coverage.

The beauty of P2P protocols lies in path diversification and the stacking of network effects. The more nodes there are, the stronger the network coverage, and the larger the content traffic and ecological applications it can support. This capability cannot be built up during marketing cycles.

When industry bubbles burst, real-world use cases are the true standard for evaluating a network. Infrastructure projects do not rely on hype; they depend on the inertia and scale effects accumulated through long-term usage. Imagine a distribution network as an ecological transportation hub, and you'll understand why the more stable the underlying infrastructure, the faster the upper-layer applications can grow, and the easier it is to amplify the synergistic effects of the entire ecosystem.

This is why truly fundamental infrastructure projects will eventually stand out, while those flashy things all end up as air coins. Well said, only after the bubble deflates can one see true character. The more nodes there are, the stronger the network—no one can ignore this logic. Agreed, P2P is a powerful weapon for network effects, but very few domestic projects do it well... The stability of the underlying layer directly determines the ceiling of the ecosystem; for project teams, this is their destiny. Wait, are there really a few projects currently seriously working on infrastructure? It seems like everyone is just trying to quickly harvest.

Well, the logic is actually that infrastructure shouldn't be fancy; it relies on stacking nodes. Really, the P2P system has already been proven, now it's just a matter of who can survive after the bubble bursts. Only when the underlying layer is stable can the upper layers take off, there's no doubt about that.

Infrastructure projects are meticulous work; they don't rely on quick money schemes. Having enough nodes is the key; empty words won't help. The true strength is revealed after the bubble bursts; early hype is pointless. A stable foundation allows the ecosystem to take off; this logic is indeed clear. Once the P2P network effect is activated, it can't be stopped; the beauty lies in its diversification. The analogy of transportation hubs is perfect; real traffic is the hard currency. If you don't believe in marketing tricks, then trust long-term usage rates.

The consultation records show that this type of infrastructure project is indeed easily overshadowed by over-marketing. The key still depends on node activity and actual throughput data; just talking about network effects is useless.

The foundation determines the ceiling, and there's no denying that. But the real test is still to come, depending on who can survive until the bubble bursts. --- I've seen through the P2P network effect logic for a long time; the key is whether node incentives can truly take off. --- The analogy of transportation hubs is good, but the question is how many projects are actually laying the groundwork now, rather than just shouting slogans. --- Long-term accumulation vs. short-term hype, this will always be an eternal topic. In the end, those who don't care about short-term fluctuations will win. --- It's a nice way to put it, but competition for infrastructure is also very brutal, and only a tiny fraction will survive in the end. --- Scale effects are easy to talk about, but cold start is hell. How many projects have died at that stage?

That's right, the key is to stay calm. There are so many projects炒概念 (speculating on concepts) now that only those quietly building infrastructure can truly stand out. Wait, about the P2P network effect... is it seriously overestimated? In real scenarios, how many nodes are needed to have a significant advantage? The underlying infrastructure determines the ceiling of upper-layer applications. I agree with this logic, but how many projects are actually doing solid work now... When the bubble deflates, the true quality shows. This is said in every cycle, but only a few really survive. Infrastructure isn't about storytelling; it's about reliability and scale. I have no more to say on this point, I agree.

The underlying infrastructure logic I've heard too many times, but how many can really survive? Anyway, I can't see which distribution network is truly widely used right now. --- P2P sounds great, but will the nodes really continue to grow, or is this just another story of cutting the leeks? --- Let's wait until the bubble deflates. The ones making quick money now are not these infrastructure providers. That's hilarious. --- The analogy of transportation hubs is good, but the key is whether someone is actually running on it. What about now? --- Economies of scale 🤔 Let's first see which project’s daily active users are not shrinking.
