Web3 doesn't lack tokens; what it truly needs are builders who are actually doing the work.

This statement hits the nail on the head. The endless cycle of token bombarding is really exhausting—you see new token projects launching every week, but the number of products that are truly usable and generate revenue is pitifully small.

Where does real progress come from? It comes from those products that are genuinely used by users, capable of developing a business model, and able to sustain themselves. Builders should focus their energy on creating such products. The complete flywheel is: developers build → actual users start using → real value is generated → more developers are attracted to join → the ecosystem continues to iterate. This is the healthy cycle that Web3 should have, rather than being muddled by token launches.

You're right, every day there are new coins and new projects, each more outrageous than the last. The real products that can succeed are few and far between, and that's the core issue. Instead of issuing tokens, it's better to focus on building products; users are the ultimate judges.

I completely agree. Watching various meme coins launch every day, but truly usable products are few and far between—that's the real issue. Exactly, the key is to get the flywheel spinning; token bombardment has long been tired. There are indeed few builders currently; more people are just harvesting profits rather than actually building something. Right now, I am looking for projects with genuine business models, rather than just focusing on the number of tokens.

Really, new coins launching every day, I’m already mentally exhausted --- Well said, but the problem is most builders are busy cutting the leeks --- The phrase "self-sustaining" hits home, 99% of projects die here --- That flywheel sounds beautiful, but in practice... haha --- Web3 is just missing something truly usable, not just tokens --- Every week waiting for the next new coin, but none of them stand firm --- Products with strong self-sustaining ability are few and far between, others are just air --- That’s why I don’t look at new projects anymore, they’re all just tricks

You're absolutely right. These days, it's all air coins, and truly usable products are few and far between. Every day there's a new coin launching, only to go to zero shortly after. This cycle has become quite tiresome. I just want to ask, when will we see someone seriously working on real projects? I completely agree. Projects without genuine users supporting them are just a joke. Tokens are as numerous as weeds; where is the real profitable business model? Whoever finds one, tell me. The flywheel logic is clear, but in reality, most are just playing the fundraising game. This is what I want to invest in—products with real cash flow that aren't sustained by air. Builders should issue fewer tokens and focus more on developing products; otherwise, Web3 is truly doomed.

You're absolutely right. Every day new coins, new coins, but it's still the same old trick of cutting leeks. Truly useful products can be counted on one hand; the rest are just air. The real way to succeed is to generate your own revenue; projects that rely on trading coins will eventually fade away.

Wake up... It's the same old token bombardment, so tiring. Just want to see something useful.
