buying attention is honestly one of the fastest ways to kill a project funny thing is you can never actually buy real attention because people will only give it to you by choice when the thing on the other side is genuinely valuable but some projects still choose to make this mistake “that ain’t a problem, we’ll just throw money at distribution, run ads, pay influencers, launch an ambassador program and pay people $20 to interact with our platform” that’s absolute bs if you ask me you cannot bribe people into caring about what you’ve built because the second the money stops flowing they’ll abandon your ecosystem immediately and move unto the next stop wasting funds on forced impressions and just spend that exact same energy on building something useful that solves a real problem and actually matters to a certain category of people if your product actually makes their lives better, they will give you free distribution and keep coming back to use it entirely on their own without you having to bribe them that is the only way true retention works because they finally have a selfish reason to stay and you do not have to pay them to care you can’t just build absolute rubbish and think you can throw money at it to force the market to engage with your delusion capital only amplifies what the product already is so if you pour money into a stupid product you just amplify its stupidity we can do better



@camolNFT @ripchillpill Same thing I said. Kaito hacked CT marketing and I don’t think any of the projects that spent money on Kaito got real users. Except those that just farmed the launches and dumped on anyone.

the problem is that everyone agrees you shouldn't chase vanity metrics but this is still what crypto businesses pay for

Long-term vision: a permissionless financial layer where AI agents, institutions, and retail users all operate on equal footing. No gatekeepers or fragmented liquidity. Just open, composable markets powered by code. Injective is building toward that future.
