A small reminder of what it really takes to build an actual crypto project.
People love to dream, but let us bring clarity because many think they can tweet a bit, launch a random app, keep a platform alive on the side and magically get rich.
And I hope investors and people who want to start a real project finally start to see that a DePIN project takes a lot more work than a jpeg and a few raids.
That is not how this works.
Here is the real truth.
🔺50000 dollars plus is the absolute minimum you will burn for mobile apps, servers, APIs, audits, backend, frontend and developers.
Or will they all work for free?
🔺You need real coders, not hobby builders.
🔺You need a backend team, a frontend team, constant updates, security checks, fixes and maintenance.
🔺You will need around 2 years just to build the foundation if you want something real and sustainable.
🔺If you take the pump and dump route and spend more on marketing than on substance, you might get a few weeks of noise, but you will be gone long before the 2 year mark.
🔺You need a registered company.
🔺You need someone who runs your entire X presence at a professional level.
🔺You need people working in the background every day.
🔺If you want to do what we do, you need 2 or 3 people constantly doing coin checks, verification, research and preparing material.
🔺You need someone handling socials or you must do all of it yourself.
🔺You need structure, processes, discipline and consistency.
🔺You need a roadmap, not a fantasy.
🔺You need a long term vision, not hype dreams.
🔺You need to be ready to lose sleep, time, weekends and money before anything pays you back.
So before you talk about building what we built, understand the cost.
Understand the sacrifice.
Understand the pressure.
Most never made it through the first year.
Some did not even make it through the first month.
And without real dedication, real resources and real people behind you, you are not going to make it either.
The real, knowledgeable support and the people who stay do not appear in a few weeks, and nobody will back you unless you have a team willing to show up every day for free.
Learn real conviction.
That is the truth.
That is the cost.
That is the reality of building in crypto.
If you are part of the crypto big crypto mafia money crowd, things become easier and the whole world opens up for you, but you will never learn to appreciate what you built.
This sounds discouraging and it is.
It is just as hard as anything in real life.
So you should rather join something existing or be fully aware of what it really means to build in this space.
