"no, it isn't so. current "communities" doesn't form around projects based on specific problems with using something these projects solve, but around one specific problem of theirs - a financial one. people just choose narratives they find profitable in the near future. that's why they support perp, prediction markets or privacy" Well yes, but let me tell you, it has ALWAYS been this way, let's not lie to ourselves. Since I've joined crypto and bought my first token back in 2017 (it was Verge token, a privacy project), people were always buying tokens for one thing - to get money. For example, the privacy narrative was very hot in 2017 too (Verge, Monero, Storj projects were all pumping). That's how crypto was always designed mostly. People come to crypto to get rich or at least make some money. There is nothing wrong with having a financial interest 😁 after all, most founders come here for the same reasons "did they have any community-programs on Discord? the answer is "no". that's the point. you don't need to create a community. you need to create a cool product and get users. the typical communities you see on Discord - the theaters. twitter threads, arts etc etc don't help to promote your project. only a space for speculation does." Twitter posting helps but only when it's done in the right way. For example, I know my posts have onboarded quite a few people to Inco. Why did those people come here? For a financial interest? Most likely yes, but once again, coming back to what I said earlier - 99.9% of people come here to make money. That is okay. That is NORMAL. Crypto have always been about trying to get rich quick. And after/if it completely stops doing that - it will die. All of these "crypto as fintech" fantasies are completely invalid lol. We already have the normal fintech. Most people won't ever use crypto for anything other than "i wanna make more money kek". But I have derailed from the topic - communities (Discord, TG, any other ones) are good if they are combined with a killer product = because it works as a flywheel effect. Community would greatly benefit ANY project as long as it has a good product. Rewarding early/diehard believers of the project = also good. Rewarding genuine contributions = also good. The problem is distinguishing those contributions from a million farmers that stick around in every project
