Why I'm Really in Web3

Let me be straight up—I got into this space partly for the money. I'm not gonna pretend otherwise, and honestly? I don't think there's shame in admitting it.

I respect the folks obsessed with blockchain tech and the engineering side of things. That's legit important work. And yeah, the community vibes in Web3 are real—there's energy and creativity you don't find everywhere.

But here's the thing: the financial opportunity is what got most of us in the door. That's just real. The tech excites me, the community keeps me engaged, but the upside potential? That's what made me take the leap.

I'm curious what brought you here though. Is it the tech stack, the potential gains, the community, or some mix? And more importantly—are you honest with yourself about your actual motivations? Because I think a lot of the Web3 space would be better off if more people just said it straight instead of wrapping everything in idealistic language.

There's no judgment here. We're all trying to figure out this space. What's your real reason?
