Greyscale just released a research into the highest earning web3 projects and it's crazy
What amazed me is the consistency these project have even with the current market conditions
To make it even crazier, WLFI came 8th, generating $105M in only about a year of operation. It's crazy
Alongside, projects like HYPE, Pumpfun, Jupiter and Aave have still stood the test of time generating hundreds of millions.
There is very good progress from WLFI, something notable to watch also.โค๏ธ๐ฆ

An outlier is simply a data point that does not fit the normal pattern. In econometrics, researchers do not model behavior around outliers. They isolate them, investigate their cause, but exclude them from end goals. When you build a life plan around an outlier, you are building to fail.
Nigeria has a median age of 18.6 years, per the National Bureau of Statistics. Youth unemployment sits above 53%. Every year spent in indecision is a year of compound returns lost permanently.
When someone tells you that you are young and that you still have time, ask a specific question. How many people in the Nigerian private sector, in your exact industry, with no existing capital or connections, built a sustainable income stream after the age of 35? If some did, the population of that group is small. The population of people who started at 22 and had something real by 30 is larger. That asymmetry is the data. Follow it.
The stories of the 55-year-old who built an empire or the 50-year-old who recovered from nothing are real. Most of them come from the United States or Western Europe, where credit access is broad, institutions are stable, and failure does not mean permanent exclusion from the financial system. Nigeria offers none of those conditions. A failed venture at 40 with no savings and no credit history does not produce a second-chance story. Even Dangote started trading commodities at 21.
Yes, you can be inspired by exceptions. But be guided by patterns.
Find people who succeeded in your field, your age group, with resources similar to yours. Study what they actually did, and repeat those moves.
Dream as big as you want but build on honest data.
As you were. ๐ซต
i read an article sometime ago about failing fast and i havenโt looked back ever since
it was along the lines of while you are still scheming, your competition has attempted, failed so many times, evolved, gotten better, failed again, retried again and constantly fine tuning
โฆ.and guess what, while you are still scheming
