Doing business globally, the rules vary.

We Chinese love to say that Beijing emphasizes background, Shanghai focuses on thresholds, and Shenzhen values efficiency. Applying this logic to the global business map is equally applicable; it's just that the stage is larger and the gameplay is more complex.

In New York, capital speaks loudest—background, connections, and financing ability determine life and death. As for London, systems and rules are ironclad; without proper compliance, no amount of money will help. Singapore is quick, ruthless, and precise; efficiency comes first, decisions are made when necessary, overthinking leads to elimination. Tokyo emphasizes details and long-termism; short-term gains are unattainable, one must focus deeply. Dubai makes quick money, with policy benefits and geographical advantages at its core; when the wind shifts, the situation reverses.

No matter where you do business, understanding the local "rules of the game" is the key to survival. This applies equally to the location of exchanges and project operations.

The gameplay really differs in different places, but to put it bluntly, it still depends on who understands the trap better. The compliance matters in London can't be taken lightly; I've seen too many projects flop because of this. New York relies on financing ability? Wake up, buddy, without connections, you can't raise any money at all. Long-termism in Tokyo sounds nice, but in the crypto world, who the hell has the patience to do that. In the end, the core is still to figure out the tricks of each place; otherwise, the money spent won't come back.

This article is not wrong, but in the Web3 space, the rules change faster... and the risks are greater.

Is that trap in Dubai still doing well? It feels like the trend has indeed changed quickly... --- Burning money in New York, compliance issues in London, and efficiency in Shenzhen, to put it simply, it's about finding the right circle. --- So when choosing an exchange location, you really can't just look at the tax rate; if you step into a pit with the rules, it's game over. --- Long-termism in Tokyo sounds slow, but it really can't be copied. How many in the domestic market can keep their cool? --- That saying from Singapore is brilliant: overthinking leads to being out—that's the culture of efficiency. --- The key is that most people don't even understand the rules in their own locality, haha. --- In London, failing compliance really is a waste of any amount of money; I've heard that some projects have fallen because of this.
