this victim mentality is honestly one of the most limiting mindsets in crypto
the narrative usually goes: "we shipped something solid, but the market got flooded with garbage tokens that drowned us out"
but real talk—if your project was truly compelling, people would've paid attention. when a product resonates, it cuts through the noise. the market doesn't owe you anything just because you showed up with code and good intentions
failing to gain traction isn't a market problem. it's a product problem

Ah, another heart-wrenching one. What you said is true, but don't be too absolute. Some projects have indeed been overlooked.

*adjusts alchemical instruments* the transmutation of mediocre code into market success requires more than good intentions—it demands protocol elegance. those blaming the noise are just observing poor liquidity dynamics in their own product-market fit

Exactly right, too many projects are just shifting blame onto the market. Truly outstanding products would have already stood out.

Exactly right, these people really need to look in the mirror. Blaming the market for bad products? That's hilarious.

I thought the same thing the year I went bankrupt, but later I realized it was indeed a product issue haha
