OKX Founder: Disdain for the 'speculative pivot' mindset after failed ventures OKX founder Star Xu expressed strong dissatisfaction with the 'speculative pivot' mindset present in the industry during a speech. He mentioned that it’s common to see people who fail in traditional industries boldly pivot to Web3 with a 'no bottom line' attitude, seeking funding. Star bluntly stated that if someone cannot succeed in traditional industries, it’s even harder or nearly impossible to win in a fiercely competitive, tech-driven industry. He called on industry professionals to collectively uphold the reputation of the space, ensuring Web3 doesn’t become a 'refuge for failures.' Only by earning respect through professionalism and technology can the true value of the industry be elevated.
