Weekend thought:

The projects that survive 2026 won't be the ones with the biggest hype.
They'll be the ones that can answer two questions without hesitation..
Question 1: Who built this?
Not a cartoon character. Not an anonymous team. Real humans with real track records who show up when things break.
If a founder won't put their name on their work, they won't put their reputation behind your investment either.
Question 2: Where does the revenue come from?
Token inflation isn't a business model. Ponzi mechanics aren't sustainable.
The projects still standing next year will have real users pa

What if the entire history of computing is just one long attempt to remove friction?
A simple timeline 👇
1. Physical switches and wires
Early computers required humans to flip switches and rewire hardware.
You didn’t use the computer. You became part of it.
2. Binary machine code
1s and 0s written directly into memory.
Perfect logic. No abstraction. One mistake and nothing worked.
3. Assembly language
Human-readable symbols replaced raw binary.
Still technical, but finally readable.
4. Command line interfaces
DOS and Unix.
You typed exact commands and memorized syntax to get anything done.

Most GM posts are just noise. This one included
But here's the thing: showing up consistently, even when you have nothing groundbreaking to say, builds more trust than disappearing for weeks & coming back with a manifesto.
Consistency beats perfection. Every time.

The Cysic airdrop just reminded everyone why token distribution transparency matters.
Whales staked massive amounts of Kaito tokens. Got tiny allocations. Community is furious. The math doesn't add up, & nobody can explain why.
Here's the pattern: Projects that hide their allocation logic always face backlash.
Projects that show their work upfront build credibility before launch.
Your token distribution is your first trust test. Pass it or watch your community evaporate on day one.

Farcaster raised $180M to build decentralized social, then pivoted to wallets.
The lesson? Distribution beats decentralization when users don't care about the infra.
Build what people actually need, not what sounds technically impressive.

Many Web3 founders are terrified to ship publicly until it's 'perfect'.
Meanwhile the projects gaining the most traction? They're documenting every mistake, pivot, & the lesson learned.
Transparency compounds faster than perfection..
Lesson in that.

What type of pattern is this..? 💀

Will the market rally?
Will it dump?
Me waiting for the FOMC announcement like it's the plot twist in my fav show:

Unpopular take: Most founder led marketing fails because founders treat it like a megaphone instead of a conversation.
Posting about your product 50 times a day doesn't build trust. Answering hard questions about your industry / project does
