Launching a crypto product is one thing—actually getting it into users' hands? That's the real challenge. If you're struggling with go-to-market strategy, here's what worth thinking about: effective GTM isn't just hype and marketing noise. It's about understanding your users, building distribution channels that actually work, and iterating fast on what sticks.
Many crypto founders skip the fundamentals: who's your target user? Where do they hang out? What problem solves for them that competitors don't? Once you nail that, everything else—community building, partnership strategy, growth loops—starts clicking into place. The teams that win aren't always the ones with the best tech; they're the ones who execute GTM with precision.

Well said, that's the truth. I've seen so many projects with amazing technology, but no one uses them simply because they never really figured out where their users are.

To be honest, most crypto founders are just stubborn; no matter how advanced the technology is, if no one uses it, it's pointless...

Exactly right, but most crypto creators just can't do it... they spend all day bragging about their technical skills, and then users are never satisfied no matter how much they pretend.

Honestly, many projects fail at GTM... No matter how advanced the technology is, if users can't find you, what's the use?

Honestly, many projects fail at GTM. Some teams are technically excellent but completely lack understanding of how to reach users. I feel this article hits the nail on the head.

Exactly right, so many projects fail at the GTM stage; no matter how advanced the technology is, if users can't access it, it's all pointless.

It sounds good, but the reality is that most project teams haven't even figured out their own user profiles, yet they rush to expand channels, conduct airdrops, and find KOLs for promotion. I've seen too many "technically talented" teams fail at GTM (Go-To-Market), ultimately becoming harvesters of retail investors. The key is to identify the real pain points, not just hype.

There's nothing wrong with that, but too many teams focus only on criticizing the technology, resulting in products that no one uses.

Exactly right, so many projects have incredible technology, but they die right at the launch step... Really, understanding users is worth much more than understanding code.
