The way many crypto projects become valuable is by enabling others to build new speculative assets on them, attracting bots and incentivized whales. This generates numbers that seem impressive, but are largely meaningless (N million DAUs/TVL here). The DAUs are bots, the TVL can exit easily and is here for a quick VC fueled APY buck. This creates press and hype on twitter, causing real users and projects to join. The products are usually disappointing (the impressive numbers are often smoke+mirror), and projects and users mostly churn/take the L. Repeat

We democratized the database just like Instagram democratized photography. Understanding data and what makes data valuable is what sets apart pros from amateurs, serious from scammer. Facebook sells the data in its database to people who can USE that data. Almost every NFT project is literally just random data in a database with no app (besides marketplaces and wallets). Build the app first. Build the value first.
