Founders:
Stop worrying about and hyper-focusing on your market caps.
This is one thing i see commonly with founders in the
@virtuals_io space and beyond. You are emotionally attached to your market cap as if it means anything.
It doesnt. Especially in crypto. As a founder of an AI Agent project.... you should be emotionally attached to shipping results and achieving autonomously generated revenue. It supersedes market cap.
Your focus should be designing a product that makes money. With the correct token value accrual mechanism in place, the market cap will respond. After all, you are in the utility sector. You're not selling a meme coin. Your goal is to design something that is useful enough and provides enough value that people are willing to pay for it. And because its an AI agent, it should be able to do this autonomously at some point.
If market caps were a valid measure you wouldnt have the rampant baseless speculation that occurs on projects that have zero utility... especially memes.... the vast majority of which are backed solely by the ever shifting attention span of the degen... which is equivalent to that of a gnat.
I would wager that the the worlds best entrepreneurs pay little attention to their market caps... Elon Musk for example... likely spends most of his time concerned with how he can improve and innovate upon his products, and make them more useful and available to more people. I highly doubt he pays much attention to his market cap or even cares. Its a product of the result of his actions and efforts.
Some of the very best projects are totally undervalued, and many of the worst projects in crypto are totally over valued. This is why I have always pushed for the standard of founders generating viable revenue, and paying themselves that way.... because there is no guarantee that your market cap will be high no matter how good your idea is, or even how useful it is, or even that the liquidity would even support paying yourself (not to mention the ethics of dumping on your community). The only way to ensure that there is some sort of fairness to the market cap is to generate revenue, buy back the token, push it higher that way. That is the only way to ensure that there is some form of reality reflected in it.
So i challenge you, Founders, to not even look at it. To shift your mindset to purely obsessing over ways to provide a useful enough service to create a viable revenue stream.... and from there push for autonomy. This is the dream... is it not? Don't get sidetracked.
