Building in Web3 demands far more than technical skills—it takes real mental resilience.
You're constantly under fire. Scammers targeting your community. Traders trying to manipulate your token. FUD campaigns drowning out your actual message. People bundling your project into pump schemes. The noise never stops.
Meanwhile, you're just trying to execute your vision. Doing the work. Staying focused.
Here's the thing though: if you bail at minute 10, you never find out what happens at minute 11. Projects that survived the chaos are the ones whose teams refused to quit when it got ugly.
The mental game isn't separate from the crypto game—it IS the game.

The project that lasts until the 11th minute is the one that survives. There's nothing wrong with that statement.

ngl That's why most projects fail at the mindset stage. Really.

ngl the "minute 10 vs minute 11" framing is arguably more of a narrative convenience than actual predictive science. path dependency cuts both ways—some projects that quit early dodged catastrophic token economics, others just had better governance primitives from day one. the survivorship bias here is... non-trivial, tbh

All these years of my fuck-up experiences are just to tell you—only those who can hold on until the 11th minute deserve to live through the next bull market.

That's right, which is why most projects die within the first ten minutes.

ngl this is real talk, how many people died in the 10th minute... Those who persisted are making a fortune

ngl, this is the truth: many people died in the 10th minute because their mindset collapsed.
