people ask me where the good alpha is. I run a token launchpad so i'm probably supposed to have a great answer to this. my honest answer is that I think slow and steady wealth building beats alpha, and I've thought this for a while. if a get rich quick approach worked reliably, the people who found it first would already be rich, everyone around them would be copying it and by the time anyone was talking about it publicly the edge would already be gone. when it does work it works for a few people in a short window and the main variable is luck not skill. luck is not repeatable. the slower way, in which you're genuinely understanding something over time and making boring low variance decisions, doesn't make for a good timeline. almost nobody writes about it. but the truth is that the people i've watched build wealth in crypto over a decade have done work that would look a lot more boring than anything you see on the timeline. idk, maybe that's just cope (but I don't think so)
