Every major crypto platform that actually won attention nailed one thing:
They optimized for dopamine.

Yes, money has always played a huge role and may have been the initial reason people got attracted to these platforms, since it’s a necessary evil in our society.
But dopamine is what made them stay, no matter how much they made (or lost).
It’s just human nature.
