Does surviving in web3 require compromising your principles?
Depends on the principles
But yes, sometimes it demands audacity, discomfort, and the ability to stay consistent when clarity and direction are the only things keeping you grounded.
Especially if you’re from a part of the world where earning in dollars already feels like a moat.
What do y'all think, tho?
Some just do it to go viral since they are optimising for the algo
So they use it to start conversations, farm engagement - they call it edutainment, vibeposting, shiposting, meanwhile, it's just a perspective deficiency.
Comparison is the thief of joy, and it's killing the way people see this space.
There's only a handful of real projects left now, and instead of appreciating that, people spend all day comparing them against each other.
It's pointless.
Every project is playing its own game,
This 1 differentiation framework has saved me months of confusion as a growth and marketing strategist.
Not because it gives you more ideas, but rather because it forces you to remove the noise.
It’s called the ERRC framework:
> Eliminate:
Remove the "industry standard" things customers no longer care about.
> Reduce:
Cut down the features, costs, or processes that add complexity without adding value.
> Raise:
Double down on the few things customers actually notice, feel, and talk about.
> Create:
Introduce something new that the market didn’t know it needed yet.
Most positioning problems don’t come from a lack of ideas.
They come from treating every idea as equally important.
ERRC fixes that.
It shows you what to kill, what to shrink, what to amplify, and what to invent.
That’s how you stop sounding like everyone else and start building differentiation with intention.
if you’re not differentiating on what you do, your last hope is to differentiate on who you’re doing it for.
get both right and you’re really gonna be unstoppable.
you become a “brand” - not cuz you think you are .
but cuz people have experienced you as one.
differentiate!!!
Reality 😹😹
But tbh i think people should feel free to share their interests here and not just shilling tokens and projects every day. So yeah, it's the absence of doing that, that perhaps makes it feel cringe that everyone is doing it all of a sudden 😹 but also ik a few people who don't watch football but are just placing bets on polymarket and talking about the world cup as well 😅
Why so?
Let's say you're barely surviving or feeding well, months of spaces, replies, and all, but you're barely making money to survive
and you've made it a principle not to talk about projects you don't fuck with or not to join engagement pods but build your account and engagements organically?
You'd not compromise your principles to survive when a job of $500 a month comes calling?
Or you'd still uphold yourself to the principle of I'm building a long-term brand, which is the most EV+ thing to do?
Before you answer, remember the country you are living in and also remind yourself of the country peoole who post "don't spam your contents, build an organic brand, post 3 times a day as a small account" are living in as well
Like I said, it depends on the principles
This is different from scamming peeps or devs
