ChainCatcher news, 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino posted on the X platform that there is a huge difference between trustworthy neutral value storage and "company coins," and understanding this is key to becoming rich or poor in cryptocurrency.Company coins have a high internal ownership ratio, highly coordinated marketing narratives, and jurisdiction. Early purchases can make you a fortune, but you must time it right and sell before the market eventually ends. Value depends on revenue (just like a company), and the upside is limited. The hype is always intense, but there will always be new shiny targets worth chasing.Trustworthy neutral value storage means has a low internal ownership ratio, an effective global early distribution mechanism, decentralized marketing, and is not bound by jurisdiction. Value is based on belief, and there must be steadfast believers willing to hold the asset over any other asset in the world. Trustworthy neutral value storage is the most promising investment opportunity globally, with a potential market value exceeding $100 trillion. However, most people tend to dive in headfirst, over-investing in company coins while paying insufficient attention to trustworthy neutral value storage tools.
