@deft_gfx Congratulations boss

@deft_gfx Our environment and the people we relate with subconsciously shape us in ways we don’t even realize. That’s why being in a good environment is one of the best things we can do for ourselves

@ryzeprotocol I’ve been looking at DeFi projects on Base, yours stood out. The waitlist post gets views but very few clicks.

Makes me think it might be an issue with the post and how the message is landing, rather than the product itself.

Can share tweaks if you’re open, DMs or here

@CryptoDefiLord People don’t understand what it’s like to believe deeply in a project. If it succeeds, they call it “diamond hands”, if it also fails, people will criticize it. Just do your thing and hope for the best

[Cyper @CyperX01]

@BawsaXBT Everyone’s just out here trying different strategies to see what works

[Cyper @CyperX01]

A lot of AI projects in crypto are just wrappers around hype.

The real winners will be the ones solving distribution, compute, or data ownership problems.

[Cyper @CyperX01]

@BalaiBB Security and Capital preservation are some of the top most underrated aspects of crypto

[Cyper @CyperX01]

@Mozemhe Airdrops and Memecoins

@CryptoDefiLord It’s easy to criticize or judge a situation until you’re in that same position

@Babzi_web3 To be truly valuable, you can’t help everyone in the same way. The biggest impact comes from understanding a specific group of people and serving them really well

[Cyper @CyperX01]

Web2 and Web3 mainly differ in what they focus on. Web2 is built for simplicity, apps are easy, fast, and familiar to use, but users have limited control over their data or assets. Web3 is built around user control and ownership, but that comes with more complexity and friction.

[The Trading Geek (Brad Goh) @Bradgohtrades]

Everybody is trying to be somebody nowadays.

The most scarce resource today is authenticity, being yourself unapologetically.

[Cyper @CyperX01]

@boye_eth Funny thing about this is I sat patiently reading it all line by line 😂

[Cyper @CyperX01]

@PM_TopTraders 100% correct
The issue is a lot of projects and marketers fail to recognize this issue

[Cyper @CyperX01]

Web3 projects often miss how much culture affects adoption. People in China and the U.S. can engage very differently, with different expectations and behavior. Many fail by using one global approach, while the best ones focus on understanding people, not just tech

[Cyper @CyperX01]

@Babzi_web3 True. Even small cultural gaps can make people struggle to connect with a project, no matter how good it is

[Cyper @CyperX01]

Founders and teams will likely keep doing this. But community members will also start realizing when they’re being used for hype before a dump at TGE, and will become more cautious about where they put their time and trust

[wale.moca 🐳 @waleswoosh]

Tons of projects use their community to gain traction, then totally sideline them at TGE.

Then they crime pump their token 10x after TGE, making money on perps and by dumping team allocations on CEXs.

Terrible trend, but I fear we're gonna see more of this as teams realize that what they're building is inherently worthless, and their token will go to zero before they can cash out if they follow the traditional path

[Cyper @CyperX01]

@BalaiBB Most creators focus too much on explaining the technical side instead of making it relatable to people
