Don't let it go crazy. Find your role, play to your strengths and build. 4/ There's No Blueprint The Web3 space is still young, so there's no blueprint one company could follow and succeed. 5/ Web3 Is Real Despite what the media and the naysayers have to say, the interest in Web3 ain't slowing down.
