People-centric markets has always been a challenge in the Web3 space. Over the years, ecosystem builders have repeatedly tried and iterated to optimize, but have never truly broken through.

Interestingly, many believe that the most controversial and debated figures are actually the most likely to successfully ignite this type of market. Why? A little reflection makes it understandable.

On one hand, high attention and discussion itself are attractive; on the other hand, these figures often possess extraordinary execution capabilities and disruptive innovative thinking. They are unbound by traditional thinking and dare to break existing frameworks. The crypto community has always valued bold experimentation, which is fundamentally different from traditional market operation logic.

Perhaps it is this "underdog" status that can attract the most loyal supporters. And this is exactly what People markets need—strong community consensus and engagement.

Haha indeed, the more controversial a person is, the more traffic they can generate. This is a truth in the crypto world. How to explain this logic? It's that those who are already favored are considered good, while those "troublesome figures" can actually inspire genuine cult-like devotion. Ultimately, it's still the community's belief that matters.

Ha, I’m convinced by the logic that controversial figures ignite the market—it's all about betting on the persona itself.

There's some logic to this... Basically, bad reputation is still reputation, and it can actually attract attention.

This logic is a bit crazy; controversial figures can actually break the deadlock... Honestly, it's still all about traffic being king.

Controversial figures are involved in the People market? To put it simply, it's just riding the wave of popularity. The real breakthrough still depends on the product itself.

Ha, basically it's the perfect combination of hype and consensus. But this approach has indeed proven effective repeatedly in crypto.

Why do I feel like this logic is a bit off... Can controversial figures really ignite the market? Isn't that just betting on their persona not to collapse?
