You don't need to have close friends in this industry just to move on or keep going. If you can't find one then you have to find near your local if there are people that shares the same interest as you. Because if that's what has stopped you, then it's also fine and people have to respect that decision for yourself.
My problem is to find the good resources on development and also running web 3 based products. As I said most of the youtube videos are just paid ads for big corporations.
Many of them are paid marketers and that's why it's no use if you're going to rely to those youtube videos because they're just a bunch of paid video marketers. They're paid depending on their reach and subscribers.
Having friends in the local scene is really helping. I'm not denying the fact that if you do something, you can find people who share the same interests as you. I guess I didn't try enough in order to find people (yes, your post actually made me rethink my process).
First, it is not because my AI coin has failed. It is not really a good excuse of course. The main reason for losing faith is:
- I couldn't find a community of close friends who may have interest in being a part of a web 3.0 or blockchain project. This is what matters the most to me at the moment.
- I do a lot of research about making cool shit on the chain, but most of them are just advertisements for corporations like QuickNode or Alchemy. So if we're going to have the corporate game here, where is the supposed decentralization?
- I even wrote a system for sharing different resources across a global network, which was like "I run Ollama and these models, here is my computer in the network" and in return people who gave their computers to the network could be rewarded with some sort of token. It seemed cool eh? But since I haven't seen any interest in the subject I just left it behind. I'm not joking, I wrote around 10,000 lines of code and we even tested the network with two of my friends (one based on Istanbul, one based on Shiraz and I am residing near Tehran) and we could successfully run different LLMs from each other's GPU's. It's like Render network but specifically for LLMs.
Today, I'm just clicking on "Not interested" on any content showing up on my YouTube feed which is about Vitalik, Anatoly Yakovenko or Crypto in general.
Just wanted to complain here about how desperate I became in the topic of crypto and web 3 ....
You think Web3.0 exist only to get people interested on your project? That's just weird. It's like saying that i lost my hope in github, because i didn't get anyone to collaborate with me.
People just don't owe you their interest or following, no matter what you have done, and that has nothing to do with web2.0 or 3.0. Whole scene is oversaturated of scammers and projects that just aren't interesting. So why would you think you are entitled to get people interested?
No one owes me or any other people attention or interest in projects, agreed.
