The author of this article argues that cryptocurrencies, like living organisms, compete for survival in the decentralized world of web3. They suggest that developers should focus on developing a "healthy" underlying network for a cryptocurrency to ensure its survival in the competitive landscape. The parameters used to define a healthy crypto network include token holder activity, distribution, variety of holders, variety of transactions, and token flow. The author provides examples of Bitcoin and Polygon as cryptocurrencies that have constructed healthy networks, with widespread ownership and sustainable transaction volumes. On the other hand, Dogecoin is cited as an example of a cryptocurrency that has failed to establish a healthy network, with unsustainable user activity and a lack of diverse transactions. The author concludes that the success of cryptocurrencies and sustainable price increases rely on the health of the web3 network, and developers should prioritize developing a healthy underlying network.
