Many crypto projects struggle because the entire ecosystem is built on blind faith in a single individual—someone most community members have never truly vetted. Even worse, we're collectively funding that person with substantial resources, essentially handing them the keys without accountability. When projects fail, we blame leadership. But here's the uncomfortable truth: the real issue lies with us. We created the system where one person holds disproportionate power, and we enabled it by not demanding transparency, decentralization, or proper governance structures from day one. That's not their failure—that's ours.

Wake up, everyone, we're digging our own graves.

ngl this is the most pretentious part of our circle, constantly talking about decentralization but still trusting faith-based investments...

Haha, you're right. Our group really needs to reflect on ourselves.

Exactly right. To put it plainly, we're just digging our own pits and then keep jumping into them.

Wake up, everyone. We deserve to be fleeced.

Basically, it's our own doing. If we had known that decentralization was the goal, we shouldn't have blindly idolized someone during the white paper stage. Now that we've lost, we're turning around and criticizing him? That's hilarious.

That really hits home... As long as the project team casually shows some effort, everyone believes it, and we deserve to be cut.

Wake up, to put it simply, it's our own greed, insisting on betting everything on one person.

Wake up, most people just want to take a gamble. Stop pretending to reflect deeply.

That's so true. Our community really needs to reflect. Blaming the big shots won't help.
