The greater the goal, the larger the challenge. Let’s make history🔺

Long term thinking wins. There is a saying in business, “The person with the longest time horizon usually wins.” If you study history, this is proven time and time again. Avalanche deeply understands this. In this post we will explain why it is important to position this way and how it creates compounding growth over time that benefits the network. But first, To understand the future lets first study the past. Some of the most powerful technologies on earth took years, sometimes decades to find adoption. This concept is known as Visionary Lag. Examples you will recognize: - AWS was developed 6 years before it saw mainstream adoption. - Apple Silicon M1 was invested in 10 years before it saw adoption. - NVIDIA’s CUDA was developed nearly 15 years before adoption. The list goes on. The thing all these have in common? A dedication to long term thinking. The Avalanche network has this same mindset. Building and attracting businesses with the goals of bringing business onchain to add efficiency and unity to embedded finance systems globally. This will take time. The benefit of this mindset is compounding growth. When you add sustainable businesses with sustainable revenue into a unified system they benefit off of each-others growth. The success of one business benefits the others. A metaphor for this is seen commonly in cities. Where a single successful business on a street not only brings more revenue to the entrepreneur who built it, but to the surrounding businesses and communities as well. We commonly see that a single factory can turn a small town into strong economy. The same happens onchain. Avalanche will attract and support these businesses whose revenue settles on the network benefiting the entire ecosystem’s growth. Again, this will take time. Traditional financial rails can be resistant to change. Removing middlemen can be stubborn, but the mission is powerful and will not be discouraged. You can see this in the Avalanche network’s design and technology offerings. Built for businesses of all sizes: >Startups on the C-Chain. >That grow into enterprises on their own L1. >With privacy and tools for institutions. The foundation is set, and the mission remains strong. It’s time to bring the world’s businesses onchain. Long term thinking wins.
