Still, Professor Yetta has superior knowledge. I said retail traders should try to act as market makers, and many people would come to criticize me. But Yetta simply said “production side”—brilliant! At its core, what we do at @Hertzflow_xyz—or any exchange—is figure out how to price, provide liquidity, generate trading profits, and create LP profits for something that’s essentially an empty vessel (everything traded is an empty vessel; don’t argue about “value”)—to keep the whole wheel turning. From the production side’s perspective, issuing, pricing, and quoting liquidity providers are the producers—they must be made to profit. Traders are typically consumers—they pay. The challenge lies in not letting all “consumers” pay. You need some to profit, while most pay small amounts repeatedly. First, it’s about balance: some must win, but the majority must pay only small amounts each time. Second, it’s about expectation management: if you make people believe they’re buying Hermès, they’ll pay big money—even if the bag is no better than one made in Dongguan’s Tangxia. If you make them think they’re buying Xtep, they’ll pay small amounts over and over. But if you make them believe they’re paying Hermès prices for Xtep? That’s called “cutting the greens.”
