As someone who genuinely believes Iβve been one of the people putting the most effort into earning a whitelist spot in Web3, this is how I honestly feel:
The only thing NFTs really taught me is this:
In this space, connections matter more than effort.
You can spend months creating content, making art, supporting communitiesβ¦
Then mint day comes, and everything gets handed to a few big wallets and closed circles.
If you donβt have a high-follower account, botted engagement, or insider connections, you stay invisible.
Real people who genuinely put in effort keep getting ignored.
The so-called βcommunityβ sometimes feels like nothing more than the same people feeding each other over and over again.
No respect. No appreciation. No fairness.
Just hype, connections, and self-interest.
I hope one day all of you experience what it feels like to lose everything and hit zero.
