0xDith Shares IP Building Vision, Reveals 1.7M Subscribers and 1B Views

0xDith, founder of Gigaverse and GLHFers, shared a detailed reflection on the difficulties of building original intellectual property compared to platform-based products like Hyperliquid or Polymarket. In a thread posted on June 25, 2026, he argued that creating a hit character or franchise lacks a clear roadmap, unlike prediction markets or DEXs.

To illustrate his growing focus on IP, 0xDith revealed that he has amassed over 1.7 million subscribers and more than 1 billion views across all channels, with YouTube alone accounting for over 1.1 million subscribers. The United States emerged as the top audience geography.

“We're soon launching new channels and introducing new characters,” he wrote, emphasizing his goal to build “a truly loved original IP with genuine consumer fandom” that can span decades and manifest across products, content, and experiences.

0xDith contrasted platform valuations — citing Hyperliquid at 15 billion — with the potential of original IP, pointing to Pokémon’s 150 billion valuation versus his own project CARDS at 80 million. He concluded that while platforms sell shovels in a gold rush, he prefers to build the gold itself.
