In crypto, everyone claims they're "building" - but let's be real. Most of the time it's just noise. A few lines of code, some Discord activity, and suddenly you're a "builder" attracting investors and hype. The actual builders? Usually too busy shipping to spam about it on social media. The real distinction gets blurred when mere marketing gets labeled as development. How many projects have you seen pump their "building" narrative only to disappear months later? It's become a badge worn by everyone from serious devs to full-time talkers.

Really, after listening to this construction narrative for so long, I see one air coin after another disappear.

Well said. In the crypto world, those who shout "building" every day, nine out of ten are just good at pie-in-the-sky talk. Real programmers have already been running code locally; who has time to brag on Twitter? Many projects rely on storytelling to raise funds. Where's the code? Where did the code go? These days, even sending a Discord message counts as building. It's ridiculous.

*sigh* empirically speaking, the data on project longevity suggests this "builder theater" phenomenon correlates directly with governance token allocation patterns. most teams never shipped because their incentive structures were fundamentally misaligned from day one. it's basically decentralization theater wearing a dev hoodie.

That's true, but real builders have been financially free for a long time haha
