The users are where the incentives are...The founders are where the incentives are...What will happen to the industry if somehow all the incentives supply is cut off for both users and the founders?Short answer: Most people would think, the industry would be doomed at that point, yes up to a certain extent but imo it would be an interesting story from there on...No supply of incentives = 90%+ of users & builders exit the space, clearing out the overwhelming noise that we see in our industry today. Only the real builders and users will stick on who really care about/have the long term vision for web3/crypto and have the persistence to ride along in such harsh conditions. There's a serious need for something like this that kind of resets the ecosystem while retaining the current level of tech capabilities we have developed. With this we will see all the incentive driven founders/builders get clear out and we will have the rise of several top notch builders building the things that crypto/web3 truly needs for adoptation and not chase incentives, who are currently getting overshadowed.On the user's side, I strongly believe we have been chasing the wrong target market this entire time. Incentive driven users will come and go, the real gem of users cannot be found by extracting value from the ecosystem which is the case now. Rather value creation is what we are missing in the ecosystem. A reset like this, would imo accelerate the ecosystem much faster as we will align our vision along with more sustainable incentive plans and work towards a crypto native society.

"𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡"The world, in the age of Kaliyug, has become a place where lies and deception lurk behind every corner. Truth has become scarce and the trust has depleted. Especially in an infamous industry like crypto where lies, data leaks, and privacy invasions are rampant, we have lost our touch with trust. "should i connect my wallet, will my funds be safe?"
"is my data safe with the devs?"
"are my KYC details in good hands?"Privacy of our data is a basic human right but we sometimes don't understand how many imposters are among us who are straight up lying about privacy and data protection while mishandling/misusing our sensitive data behind your back and preaching privacy and encryption on the faces. Its hard to figure out these imposters, as all of them yap about privacy, data protection & encryption. So how do we choose whom to trust?Its actually simple...𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐞.

$EIGEN launched at $7B FDV and $780M market cap, keeping mc higher than last rounds valuation ($500M)On the other hand, something like $SOCIAL
Raised $8M at an $80M valuation
Yet, launched at $7M market capSentiment isn't the best rn in the market. But both the examples i mentioned have their own benefits:1. $EIGEN launched at a moderate FDV relative to its relevance & hype in the market which gives it a decent upside potential. Even if the market turns worse rn, it shouldn't affect much as the launch is quite well positioned and should get balanced out.2. $SOCIAL's case is different. Phaver is a leading consumer app built on Lens & Farcaster, having a strong and supportive community. Launching at such an insanely low market cap comes at its own benefit - a potential for a 50x minimum with the right market conditions. Whatever it is, I am glad none of them chose to launch at some ridiculous FDV like Starknet's $35B FDV 💀

been too quite here, literally took "only build no bs" too seriously ig lol jokes aside, i genuinely don't like the noise thats there always on CTespecially founders hyping up their products with no utility and overshadowing the ones who are genuinely trying to something good

hiring is probably the most underrated yet important skill for an early stage founder especially when your resources + time are limited. a good hire can literally change the directory of the project, save tons of resources, shipping time, and act as a form of ideality for others in the team. on the other hand, a bad hire can give fucking nightmares. i focus on 4 major points while hiring folks in my team:- not here for the cash. yes money is important and a driving factor but if it's the sole purpose of getting employed then mostly these folks do not align with the project's vision and are not committed for the long term.- avoid popular hiring sites if you can, as folks using those are applying to each and every opening they are see pop up on the feed without even looking whats the project about and are desperate for a job- instead try to find folks via your network, share with your frens give them good referral % and see the magic. then find underrated talent from the depts of twitter, discord and telegram, you can find cracked devs and builder this way but the process will take significant time but surely if you are able to do it, you'll find the best hires. - lastly, VIBE CHECK followed with a test/trial period. vibe check is v v important, I usually spend 4-5 calls with the folks talking random chill stuff and getting to know them better before letting them go through the trial. this is the phase where you gotta figure out how the person is irl other than the profession. get to know him/her more in the trial phase and you'll get an sense if he the right one or not.maybe these things won't work for larger teams, but surely if you are looking for smaller yet fully committed teams then this is the way to go.
