Addiction to signals creates Burj Khalifas
since we got ‘retail’ to participate in various ways, they have no way of knowing what to bet on (with their time and money)
so they look for signals like: a bug VC or a chain tweeting about a product or a KOL
this pumps resources into wrong projects. and it also encourages founders (many times good founders) to bait CT
this creates burj khalifas of attention and token charts alike
Monad will win if we solve this alone
how?
by NOT paying attention/$ to projects unless they show the only unfakeable signals: Shipping and Retention
only then you support a project
that motivates founders to think about their ICP, a Delta 4 product, and a core loop that keeps users coming back
