Some reflections after working on the project:

What seems to be a lively event, issuing white lists, completing tasks, boosting data, and gaining points, often turns out to be just a feast for the "professional wool-pullers."

Genuine users who come to support because they love the product and resonate with the concept, from Web2, are few and far between.

Most people just heard that they could make money and came to take a look.

As for whether the project itself is well done or has long-term value? To put it bluntly, many people don’t care at all. They only care about whether they can grab a bit of wool, whether they can run fast enough, and pocket the gains safely.

The entire circle is also accelerating its stratification:

Those making contracts, those grabbing airdrops, those boosting scores, those seizing primary markets... have long since been operating independently and are not in the same narrative system at all.

The project team understands this as well: if users don’t intend to stick around, then cash out as quickly as possible.

Users are also very clear-headed: after grabbing the benefits, they leave; who cares about the project's survival? The result is a round of passing the buck, leaving behind a mess.

This is why I increasingly feel that Liberty Cats has, in some ways, become an "outlier" on this journey. We haven’t taken shortcuts or tried to please anyone.

Instead, we have stuck to our own rhythm, step by step building our own real community and ecosystem.

I am willing to be grounded and walk my own path step by step, even if it’s a little slower, and not just go with the flow.

The most precious thing is that you are willing to believe, willing to wait, and work together to make this happen.

It's not about the noise, but about companionship. 😭
