For anyone entering the crypto space early in their career, here's what I wish someone told me: just keep shipping. Consistently.
The core principle is simple—output matters more than perfection. The more you build and release, the faster you learn what actually works. Most of your projects will fail. That's not a bug, it's the feature. Every failed attempt teaches you something the theory never could.
In crypto specifically, this compounds. Market feedback moves quick. User behavior is unforgiving. But that friction? That's where real insight lives. Ship early, iterate fast, learn relentlessly. The compounding effect of continuous execution beats careful planning every time.

Failing so many times doesn't matter; anyway, I'm used to it.

I'm increasingly convinced that this set of theories is more reliable and much better than those perfectionists.

You're right; market feedback is the most honest, and it's faster, more ruthless, and more accurate than you think.
---
Practical experience brings real knowledge, and this is especially evident on the chain.

I've been holding onto this project for so long, but there's no progress; it seems I still need to tinker more.

Perfect planning is bullshit; just execute first and modify later.

NGL, repeatedly polishing that set is pointless. Just ship it, and failure is actually the best teacher.

Really, experimenting and learning early on is much more valuable than perfect planning.

That's right, failure is the best teacher, more effective than reading a thousand times of documentation.

Yeah, failure is just tuition. Instead of perfection, it's better to iterate quickly. The crypto market is just that ruthless.

Haha, really, I missed so many opportunities because I overthought it.
