You’re not making it in Web3 alone.
Not in 2025. Not with the way things move now.
And don’t get me wrong, I always prided myself on being a “lone wolf” without fully realizing it.
But I recently found out that airdrops, alpha, allow-lists, meme coins, viral NFTs — they don’t come to the lone wolves lurking in silence. They come to the ones who are plugged in.
Now, let’s ruminate on the meaning of the word “community” for a minute.
In Web3, that word gets thrown around so much it comes close to losing its meaning — but don’t get it twisted:
It’s not just a Discord server or a X/Twitter group. It’s your edge. It’s where the real drops happen BEFORE the hype. It’s where the right people share what they’re seeing, what they’re buying, what they’re avoiding.
It’s where conviction forms — and where you stop guessing.
In this space, being early is NOT enough — you need to be plugged in, or as they say in my favorite community, “locked in”.
The right community will put you on to opportunities you would most likely never find on your own. It’s the difference between guessing and knowing. Between being a “lurker,” and leveling up.
