We're backing the wrong players.

There's no shortage of talented builders flying under the radar in this space—folks doing serious work without the hype. The real opportunity? Spotting these diamonds in the rough early and helping them build something meaningful.

The momentum shifts when you rally genuine talent around a shared vision. That's when community becomes a real force. Not just noise, but substance. Bring the overlooked voices into the fold, keep shipping, keep building. That's where the actual magic happens in Web3.

To be honest, those high-profile boastful projects really deserve to fail. The real gmbl are quietly coding in the corner.

That's right, we have indeed been dazzled by those boastful people. The real builders have been working silently all along. Being low-key is the true strength. This time, I need to carefully find those overlooked projects.

That's right, we always focus on those who are the most flamboyant, and in doing so, we miss the ones who are truly building the default. These low-key builders are the real treasures, just afraid they might be buried. Discovering potential early is easy to say but hard to do. What Web3 lacks most is this kind of perseverance; don't always follow the trend and shout slogans. Our current ecosystem is nine parts noise and one part valuable content, which is quite unfortunate. The real opportunity is hidden in inconspicuous places; you need to have an eye for it. Instead of chasing hot topics, it's better to unite with those quietly doing the construction work, they are reliable.

To be honest, our circle is really too focused on chasing trends, always paying attention to those who can do marketing, while those who actually get things done are overlooked. Low-key builders are the real gold, it's just that no one sees them.

Really not, still blowing this nonsense. Every day claiming to support low-profile builders, but in the end, it's still the group controlled by capital that holds the say. Not sincere at all. Early discovery of potential stocks? Wake up, buddy. Those with real talent and skills were already snatched up by big institutions, and the community doesn't get to take over.

Early detection of true talent is the key to making money, and those low-profile builders are often overlooked. --- Well said. Instead of chasing projects that boast every day, it's better to look for those quietly working behind the scenes. --- That hits home... We have indeed been led astray. --- The key is how to find these potential stocks? The information gap is too large. --- Substance > noise. When will this formula be recognized by more people? --- Talented builders indeed don't like to speak out, but the market just loves to see excitement. --- Agreed, too much money is wasted on marketing rather than the product itself.

That's correct, but the medical records show that the liquidity indicators for most fund investment decisions are actually counterproductive—they are chasing popularity rather than fundamentals. The problem isn't that there are few builders, but that the overall eye for selecting people has gone wrong.

That's right, I’ve always been annoyed by those who jump on trending topics every day. The real builders who have substance are just quietly working away. Some people always hype concepts without ever asking what those who are actually coding need. Totally agree, what Web3 needs is this kind of down-to-earth attitude. After all that, I realized I was being led by the rhythm. The voices from those self-media outlets are just too loud.
