@hubdotxyz I’ll look sooner.
2. Unique Value Prop or Tech Innovation – If it claims something new (e.g., "first ZK rollup with native privacy"), I’m curious.
3. Organic Community Hype – If users, not just influencers, are engaging
@hubdotxyz For me, a project usually needs to appear 3-5 times on my timeline before I check out its website—but it depends on who’s sharing it and the context.
Factors That Make Me Click Sooner:
1. High-Signal People Talking About It – If respected builders, investors, or devs mention it
@hubdotxyz In a bear market, the hype fades, but the real builders stay—and that’s what keeps me motivated. Here’s why I still show up every day in Web3:
1. Innovation Doesn’t Stop
Some of the best projects (Ethereum, Uniswap, Aave) were built in downturns.
@hubdotxyz His insights on Solana, modular blockchains, and capital-efficient DeFi would add depth to discussions.
He has strong macro perspectives on how Web3 projects should position themselves for growth.
Why Robert Leshner?
He pioneered algorithmic lending with Compound.
@hubdotxyz For the next Hub Builders Round, I'd love to see Tushar Jain (Multicoin Capital) or Robert Leshner (Compound Finance) join.
Why Tushar Jain?
As a co-founder of Multicoin Capital, he has a sharp eye for tokenomics, scalability, and market structure.
@hubdotxyz Cross-chain interactions are messy (bridges, liquidity fragmentation).
Security risks are too high (scams, bad UX leading to user mistakes).
Solution: A Seamless, Chain-Agnostic Smart Wallet

@hubdotxyz If I were to launch a Web3 project, I’d focus on solving user experience (UX) friction, which is still one of the biggest barriers to mainstream adoption. Specifically:
Pain Point: Web3 UX is Still Too Complicated
Wallets are confusing (seed phrases, gas fees, chains).
@hubdotxyz Deep technical expertise, strong macro insights
If he backs a project, it often aligns with strong fundamentals
2. Naval Ravikant (AngelList, early Bitcoin/Ethereum investor)
Invested
@hubdotxyz Some of the best angel investors in crypto and Web3 have a strong track record of identifying game-changing projects early. The ones that give me the most conviction include:
1. Balaji Srinivasan (ex-Coinbase CTO, ex-a16z GP)
Early in Ethereum, Solana, Alchemy, and Zapper
@hubdotxyz Are on-chain fundamentals still strong (network activity, developer growth, liquidity levels)?
2. Buying Strategy
DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging): Instead of trying to time the bottom, I’d scale in gradually.
Focus on High-Conviction Assets: Blue-chip crypto (BTC, ETH) over risk
@hubdotxyz When the Fear & Greed Index is at 17 (Extreme Fear), I see it as a potential buying opportunity, but I wouldn't blindly go all in. My approach would depend on:
1. Market Context & Macroeconomics
Is there a clear catalyst for the fear (e.g., regulatory crackdowns, macro downtur
