Why does the entire ecosystem thrive when everyone plays their part?
Think about it—miners secure the network, developers build protocols and applications, traders provide liquidity and price discovery, hodlers maintain conviction through cycles, and communities spread adoption. None of these roles exist in isolation.
A sustainable Web3 ecosystem isn't built by any single player crushing everyone else. It's built when each participant understands they're part of something larger. When miners optimize for security over short-term profits. When devs prioritize long-term protocol health. When traders maintain integrity in a volatile market. When hodlers don't panic sell at the first dip. When communities educate newcomers instead of gatekeeping.
This isn't idealistic—it's practical. Projects that align incentives across all stakeholders tend to survive bear markets and scale in bull runs. Those that pit groups against each other fracture under pressure.
The question isn't what you can extract from the ecosystem. It's what role you're choosing to play and how you're helping others win. That's the foundation of long-term value creation in Web3.

Basically, don't betray your teammates; everyone plays their own part, but there must be a consensus so that the ecosystem can thrive.

Well said, this is the right path... Compared to those projects that only want to harvest, I truly prefer those that genuinely care about the ecosystem.

That's right, but the reality is that most people are still thinking about how to harvest the profits...

ngl, this is the truth why Web3 has survived until now; the ecosystem is not a zero-sum game.

That's true, but the reality is that most people are just trying to cut the leeks...
