2025 brought so many hard lessons, but watching determined builders push forward kept my fire alive. Seeing people like Gyokeres stay consistent in this space is exactly what I needed—the guy's a real role model. His mindset shows that persistence in Web3 actually matters, that grind eventually converts into results. Been putting in the work quietly myself, tearing things down and rebuilding from scratch. That's the journey right now. Sometimes you don't see progress day to day, but you feel it accumulating. The builders who stick around—they're the ones who understand that nothing happens fast, but everything compounds over time.
