The tribe swap is a brilliant social game mechanic—keeps players engaged, relationships evolving, and shifts overall game strategy! I grew up playing all kinds of alliance-based mmorpgs, and I'm now surprised that none of them did this Well played, @dylanabruscato!

Founder: “Our growth is terrible — time to fire our marketer” Your onboarding flow: • Link every social account you own • Bridge from 3 chains • Sign 27 transactions • Hope it works Me: Might not be a marketing problem...

My Eth Denver BD strategy: • Avoid the fun ones (selling B2B SaaS) • Avoid the hot ones (selling security audits) • Find the loner (either a big fucking deal or about to be) They're the most eager to chat, and most likely to remember you Hasn't failed me yet

Most people overlook the real experts in crypto That's why I'm so bullish on growth operators VCs? Throw money, pray to the token gods, then forget they ever invested Founders? Bullish on their own thing—because they have to be But operators? They’re betting their careers on this They’re locked in for at least 1.5 years—anything less makes it look like they got fired or can’t commit So when a top operator joins a project, *pay attention* They’re the only ones making real long-term bets

I've been roasting founders for being terrible to marketers, but they're often victims in all of this too. Here’s how the cycle begins: 🧑‍💻 Founder: gm binance! Been hard to reach you, but glad we’re finally chatting. We’ve been building a revolutionary protocol for 3 years, launching in 3 months, and backed by a random crypto guy who gave us $10 milly! 🤑 CEX: Cool story bro. Never heard of you. Come back with 100K X followers, 20K active Discord users, and serious trading volume. 🧑‍💻 Founder: Roger that! Growth = CEX listing—not that community-building nonsense. Time to hire a marketer! 👨‍💼 Marketer: So we’ll culture, produce quality content, and build deep relationships— 🧑‍💻 Founder: blah blah blah none of that matters—can you get us *list of CEX vanity metrics* or not?

Two ways to grow in crypto: ⚔️ Wage war – Launch a full-scale memetic assault with coordinated shitposting, farm 100K fake followers for "credibility," & deploy engagement farming quests nobody enjoys but everyone grinds. Engineer a narrative so airtight it feels like fate, let predatory KOLs yap about it until the echo chamber collapses, and sprinkle in just enough token incentives to keep the mercenaries from defecting. Build a cult so loyal they’d dump on their own grandma, knight your ambassador armies with absurd Discord titles like "Chief Shiller," and let the farmers run wild until the rewards dry up. ❤️ Win hearts – Skip the noise. Build something users actually want. "Ya, going to war sounds easier to me too"

The greatest irony is that crypto marketers are so busy bringing brands to life that they have no time to market themselves That's why @safary exists — to put the spotlight on the humble missionaries taking crypto to the masses

Data-driven growth in web3 isn’t just a buzzword Here’s how to do it right: • Track user behavior across wallets • Use analytics to segment based on activity • Engage and re-engage the users that matter most • A/B test incentives (micro airdrops, tiered rewards, loyalty tokens) Turn data into insights, and insights into growth

I see it time and time again: web3 marketers don’t lack talent—they lack trust. From new hires to CMOs, the story’s always the same: no budget, no support. What will it take for teams to finally trust their marketers?

I get DMs daily about why people want to join @safary but here's a new one — to get a visa 🇺🇸 Over the years, I've actually written several immigration letters to help Safary members move to the US It's a reminder that the best communities can unlock opportunities you never even imagined!

Hearing about teams expecting growth candidates to develop full GTM and TGE strategies during the hiring process without any compensation Don’t do this. Interviews are for hiring, not free consulting

Hot take: Consumer dapps don’t suck — they just haven't been around long enough to find PMF As Lenny Rachitsky points out, it typically takes 2 years to start feeling PMF, and for many successful apps, it took 3-5 years So it’s no surprise that only a few crypto companies have found PMF. Just look at those that have: - @undefined (2016) → DeFi Summer 2020 - @opensea (2017) → NFT Boom 2021 - @axieinfinity (2018) → Bull Market 2021 - @uniswap (2018) → DeFi Summer 2020 - @polymarket (2020) → Election Season 2024 Each took 2-4 years to achieve PMF through relentless iteration and a bit of luck with market timing The next wave of great dapps is coming — it just might take longer than you think

It's deeply ironic that crypto is so anti-marketing, yet 100% driven by marketing
