In crypto and blockchain, they say your network is your net worth. Think about it—the connections you build, the communities you're part of, the partnerships that form around shared vision. A strong network opens doors to opportunities, early project access, critical information flow, and collaborative growth that no solo player can achieve. From Discord communities to industry events, from Twitter spaces to on-chain collaborations, your social capital directly translates into tangible opportunities and long-term gains.

Basically, it's about banding together for mutual support, but this logic indeed applies in Web3. The problem is that most people haven't figured out how to build truly valuable connections; they just chat wildly on Discord.

That's so right. I only managed to avoid getting wiped out by one wave, two waves, and three waves thanks to the help of my wolf friends in the Discord group. My early exposure to a few decent projects was also entirely because I got familiar with them through Twitter Space.

The internet is indeed valuable, but only if there's real substance; otherwise, it's just mutual flattery within an echo chamber.

That's really how it is. When I first entered this circle, I was a solo player, knew nothing, and had no guidance. It wasn't until I mingled in a few Discord servers that I started to get insider information. The internet is truly about money. All my current alpha comes from my connections. Without social capital, you're only getting second-hand information. That's right. Early project opportunities were always given to those with connections. For someone like me, a miner, earning through mining isn't as fast as having a good network. But on the other hand, sometimes the network is full of scammers and floor players. You have to learn how to tell the difference.

Network = Wealth. I've heard this saying too many times, but it's true... there's no way to deny it. When someone plays on the chain alone, they are really being crushed.

Alright, networking is indeed the lifeblood of the crypto world, but to be honest, you still need substance. Having more friends who just talk without real content is useless. I've seen too many Discord groups; those who are truly making money are in small groups. Big communities are just information gaps. Web3 is like that—you have to stay connected at all times, or you won't even know when a project takes off, and you'll miss out. That's true, but the premise is to find the right people. I prefer solo if the community is chaotic and toxic. Regarding on-chain collaboration, I am quite optimistic, although there are plenty of pitfalls.
