Community building is really becoming overwhelming. After a period of effort, I realize that this path either exhausts energy or yields no returns. On the contrary, the approach of many veterans is worth pondering—focusing on trading itself, staying rational, and not being hijacked by community affairs.

It's not cold-hearted, just more realistic. Participating in ecosystem development is honorable, but for personal investment returns, focus is the most scarce resource. Sometimes, choosing to be a rational participant is smarter than being drained by various promises and enthusiasm.

honestly, been there. back in my mining days i burned out chasing community dreams while gas fees ate my profits. turns out watching TPS bottlenecks on mainnet beats watching discord drama drain your mental health, ngl. the real scalability problem isn't l2s, it's saying no to people.

I knew it, the community stuff is basically a time black hole—you go in and can't get out.

ngl, the yield-to-effort ratio on community building is absolutely abysmal... *adjusts alchemical instruments* these participation metrics reveal a fundamentally inverted transmutation curve. focus > noise, always.

Yeah, that hits close to home. Same here, once I get involved in community affairs, I can't stop, and as a result, my trading ends up falling behind.

Honestly, I've seen through the community's mess long ago; it's purely a time black hole. --- Haha, that's why I only look at K-line charts and not Discord. --- Instead of being brainwashed by false promises, it's better to do your own calculations. --- Bro, your words hit the mark. Building an ecosystem sounds impressive, but what’s the result? Still broke. --- Wake up, everyone. Focusing on trading is the real way; everything else is just a cover. --- Reality is this cruel, but I like this straightforward feeling. --- Exactly, passion alone can't bring gains; being sober is the most valuable.

Honestly, the community thing is just a black hole, it absorbs time but not money.
