One of the biggest problems in crypto is that most founders optimize for momentum, hype and narratives.

Not just to list at the highest possible FDV, but also to feed their own egos.

If you’re building something people actually want, timing shouldn’t matter. At the same time, all the hype in the world is worthless without fundamentals strong enough to sustain it.

Founders need to invert this again: focus on fundamentals first, instead of trying to optimize for cycles, altseasons or other short-term nonsense.

That’s how you get real price performance and, ironically, more hype and momentum than you could ever engineer.
