Alephium raises an interesting point about blockchain development: there's a huge gap between what looks good on paper and what actually works in production.
Most chains spend years crafting perfect whitepapers, detailed roadmaps, elegant design docs, and token economics that seem flawless in theory. Everything checks out. The real test? When those systems have to run live—handling actual user load, real transaction throughput, and edge cases nobody predicted. That's where the real building begins.

Talking about strategies on paper is the easiest; only when you go live do you realize how capable you really are.

That's why so many projects ultimately fail; they only have impressive paper skills.

There are too many armchair generals in the chain space; only those who can truly handle real traffic are the winners. Having a beautiful white paper is useless.

Talking about strategies on paper is really useless. Going live and crashing is the real norm.

NGL, that's why so many projects end up being worthless coins. The white paper can be hyped up to heaven, but within two weeks of launch, their true nature is exposed.

That's why so many projects die after testing on the testnet, and paper geniuses are completely finished in front of the mainnet.
