Chasing Multiple Paths? Here's What Actually Works
Forget the old playbook. Specialization alone won't cut it anymore.
What actually matters is building something that only you can build—your distinct lens on the world. In Web3, in tech, in any space really, the creators and builders winning right now aren't the ones who picked a lane and stayed in it for 3 years hoping it would pay off.
They're doing something different:
**Your worldview is your brand.** Stop thinking about niches. Think about the unique way you see problems, trends, and opportunities that others miss. That's what people follow—not a title, but a perspective.
**Share your thinking publicly.** Publish your notes, your learnings, your half-baked ideas. This isn't about polished content; it's about showing up consistently with real thoughts. You're building an audience around your mind, not your credentials.
**Turn what you build for yourself into something others want.** Don't start by trying to solve problems for a market. Solve your own problems first. Then systematize it, productize it. If it worked for you, there's usually a crowd behind you with the same friction.
The math is simple: multiple interests + a strong POV + consistent sharing + systems that solve real problems = a brand people actually care about.
Stop waiting. Start building.

ngl this is the conclusion I've come to after years of crawling and struggling in Web3... The old approach of specialization is really outdated; now it's all about whose perspective is more unique.

ngl this set of logic is indeed popular in Web3, but very few people can truly stick to "publicly sharing semi-finished ideas"… Most are still thinking about accumulating first and then taking action.

NGL, this set of theories sounds great, but how many actually stick with it... Most people will still revert to the traditional specialization approach.

To be honest, I've heard this theory too many times. The key still depends on who truly perseveres.
