Only those who have been deeply rooted in the community for many years know that the concept of the Crypto Academy existed even before some well-known event sponsors entered the scene. This is not a new thing, but a history that many later entrants have forgotten. The project teams at the time actually had many good ideas and execution capabilities, but perhaps they fell behind in subsequent promotion and brand building. This also reflects a phenomenon in the Web3 space—many pioneering projects' contributions are overshadowed by the marketing hype of later major players. True OGs remember these details, while newcomers may only be aware of the recent hot topics.

Ha, talking about this really makes me angry. The things we did in the early years are now being straightened out and sold as new things. This is Web3.

Indeed, who still remembers those early days... Once big capital comes in, everything is forgotten.

Hey, to be honest, only those who have truly experienced it understand. The younger generation has no idea how we used to earn rewards in the early days.

hypothesis: the attention economy in crypto operates like a faulty oracle network—early signals get drowned out before consensus can form. the real builders were already bridging education gaps while newcomers were still googling "blockchain" 🤔
btw this is exactly why i keep receipts. history gets rewritten faster than layer 2s can finalize blocks lol

Too real, this is the fate of Web3—the blood and tears of early adopters.

I've already said it, this is the fate of Web3. The innovation of early movers is always overshadowed by the marketing of the next wave.

bro this hits different when you actually remember the pre-hype era. let me be honest—most people's portfolios are literally built on forgotten OG ideas they don't even realize. that's a psychological resistance level worth unpacking imo. we're all just echoing ghosts of 2017 energy while pretending it's novel, ngl
