The crypto market is going through a choice. Projects that once gained popularity through concepts and narratives are now facing the test of real money. For XRP and Cardano to thrive in the next bull market, they need to demonstrate real application scenarios and business results; mere stories are no longer enough.
This reflects the market's maturity—from the era of "I have an idea" to the era of "How much money can I make." Projects that generate actual profits and have verifiable data will be favored in the long term. Looking at the performance of emerging platforms like Hyperliquid, they may be validating this trend. The mechanism for making money in the future is more important than future promises. True winners are those that turn ideas into cash flow.

Smiling and then crying, no matter how good the story is, it can't compare to a real ledger.
---
Today's leek diary: Watching XRP and Cardano still talk about the future, while Hyperliquid is already counting money. The gap is really hard to describe.
---
That's a great point. The crypto world has gone straight from the "I have a dream" era to the "I have cash flow" era. Projects without cash flow are just bedtime stories.
---
Anyway, I believe that only projects that generate real profits can survive the next round. Those just blowing hot air will eventually be exposed, as data will speak for itself.
---
So, XRP and Cardano now need to see how much real gold and silver they still have in their pockets. Having only stories really can't withstand the market's cold gaze.

No matter how good the story is, it’s useless if you can’t really make money.
---
Cardano has been around for so many years, still telling stories? It’s time to land it, brother.
---
That’s why I only focus on cash flow now; I don’t touch concept coins anymore.
---
Hyperliquid is indeed making money, much more than those projects that boast all day long.
---
Right, the market now is just screening for true propositions. The fake ones will fail sooner or later.
---
Thinking back to XRP’s promises over the years, none of them have been fulfilled...
---
Real profit is the hard currency; everything else is虚的.
---
Anyway, I no longer trust those projects that only talk but don’t practice.
---
Only those who can turn ideas into money are truly awesome; the rest are cannon fodder.
---
Hyperliquid and similar projects are indeed more reliable; at least the data is there.
---
Wait, are there still people buying those coins that only have stories? It’s time to wake up.

In plain terms, the era of just telling stories is over. Now, it's all about who can truly make money.
What are XRP and Cardano still bragging about? Show some results.
Hyperliquid is more to the point, with solid profit data right there.
No matter how good the story sounds, if it can't generate cash flow, it's just air.
When the next bull market arrives, projects without real business operations will be phased out.

Well said. No matter how good the story is, it's all pointless if there's no real money in the account. The old guys like XRP and ADA need to step up and show some real skills, or they'll be overtaken by new projects.

There's nothing wrong with that. Telling stories is really outdated now. Cardano has been hyped for so long but still hasn't shown any real progress. Hyperliquid, on the other hand, can generate actual returns right from the start. The difference is so obvious. That's how the crypto world is—being able to talk isn't as good as being able to make money.

No matter how good the story is, it can't exchange for money. This hit the point. Seeing XRP's believers still talking about the bank partnership dream, I just laughed... It's time to let the data speak.

No matter how good the story is, it’s useless. Now it all depends on who can truly generate cash flow. XRP and ADA can keep hyping up, but they need to back it up with data. That’s the harsh reality of the market, right?
