Seeing a friend who has been deeply involved in the Web3 community announce their departure, I feel a lot in this moment.

I still remember when I first entered this circle, I knew nothing about the on-chain world, and I couldn't even clearly distinguish between DeFi and NFTs. At that time, I contacted him with a simple idea—just to join an active community and learn some things.

In the days that followed, I began to study systematically, gradually built my own account, and shared some observations about the on-chain ecosystem. Unexpectedly, one of my tweets happened to catch his attention, and he reached out to me proactively, inviting me to join his core research team. It was then that I realized how important it is to persistently produce content and keep learning in this circle.

From a novice to being recognized by peers, this journey has great significance for me. I am grateful for such opportunities and mentors.

Really, witnessing too many influencers leaving the scene, it feels like the industry is going through a reshuffle.

Persistently producing content really changes lives, and this guy is a living example. --- Leaving will always happen, but those who grow with you will always remember. --- From a DeFi novice to being invited into the core team... this must be the magic moment of Web3. --- Honestly, compared to big influencers, the feeling of being recognized by peers is the top feedback. --- Still thinking he will always be here, but Web3 really can't keep people. --- Continuous learning + continuous output, sounds simple but few can really stick with it. --- The most heartbreaking part of stories like this is... where is the next guide? --- From not understanding DeFi to joining the research team, how many sleepless nights were there in between? --- Leaving is normal, but this experience is etched on the chain and can never be erased.

Hey, really, this circle is like this. Only by consistently producing content will people notice you. Hold on to that passion, don't follow the trend. If you still feel there's a chance, you should update your posting strategy. This guy left, and the community lost a genuine voice. Choosing the right people can indeed help you avoid detours, but you also need to rely on your own solid skills. Create content, reflect, then create again—this cycle is the way to go. I hope you continue to maintain that enthusiasm and don't let it fade away.

Wow, this is the power of persistent output, really. He has left, but his influence remains. That is the most valuable thing. From knowing nothing to being part of the core team, it shows you really have some skills. Keep going. Leaving ≠ failure. Sometimes it's just time to switch to a different track. This is a cycle. You are led by him, and later you will also lead others. I deeply agree; the on-chain world needs this kind of inheritance. A bit sentimental but also relieved. That's how ups and downs happen in the circle. Really, good mentors are so precious. You need to carry on his legacy.

This is Web3, right? People come and go, and those who keep producing are finally seen. --- With more people leaving, those who stay and truly do the work are the real winners. --- Got it. That's why I post on the chain every day, afraid of missing that "being seen" opportunity. --- It feels like the most valuable thing isn't the coin itself, but the moment of meeting the right people and being recognized. --- So the core is still to keep outputting; otherwise, how can you stand out? --- This guy's story actually reflects the most authentic side of the Web3 circle: persistence = being discovered. --- Leaving might be his choice, but only those who stay and work seriously have stories to tell. --- After reading this story, I have only one feeling: I need to push out content quickly, or I will really be eliminated. --- That exposure on Twitter changed his trajectory. Luck + strength, both are indispensable. --- From a newbie to being invited into the core team, this process is actually a process of proving oneself.

This is the meaning of persistence, continuous output will really be noticed --- Damn, listening to this story made me a bit uncomfortable. The senior indeed left a less clear path --- From a newbie to a core team member, in simple terms, don't stop thinking --- The guide has left, but the methodology remains. Keep working hard and keep learning --- It must be exhilarating when your tweet gets seen, this is what being recognized feels like --- What Web3 lacks most is not opportunity, but people who sincerely persist in output. They can see it --- Many have left, but few teach you how to live. Cherish those who do

Just leave if you're going to leave, that's how this circle is. Persisting in output really helps; that's how I made it through too. It feels like an era has left along with him. Good mentors are indeed rare; when you find one, you must cherish it. I've also fallen into those DeFi pitfalls; looking back now, they are all wealth. This is Web3, where people come and go.
