reply guys

i think for a while i accidentally felt that with farcaster, like i had a stake in the success of the network. not entirely sure. i thought, we need to onboard more users!! i should get on that. now, why should i?

it’s a tough pill to swallow at times and one I learned only after being burned relentless times - and ultimately, it’s the difference between what crypto should be and web2

Web2, we are the customer, the product 

Crypto, we are on the table, we have equity and share in the protocols we use

Unless that’s the case it’s not truly crypto, it’s just web2 dressed up, and it’s why I will never care more about a project or work harder than a team does anymore unless I’m at the table

Absolutely nailed it. The fundamental promise of crypto is ownership, not just access. If we're not part of the upside if we don’t have a seat at the table then it's just Web2 with a token slapped on. Too many teams still treat users as disposable, forgetting that true decentralization means aligning incentives, not just decentralizing infrastructure. Respect to you for learning the hard way that wisdom is earned, not taught.
