Sometimes we ask ourselves, what is truly worth pursuing?

Many people's answers are cars, houses, and money. But those who go further often discover another secret — what truly sustains a person in the long run is not these external things. It is knowing clearly why they are alive.

Look at those who are rooted in the Web3 space. They give up stability and jump into this world full of uncertainties. Not to get rich quickly, but because they have found their own mission. Some firmly believe that decentralization can change the financial system, some see the future of NFTs, and others are dedicated to the development of grassroots protocols... This is not just a simple career choice, but a confirmation of life's meaning.

This sense of mission brings not superficial success but an inner sense of order. Every decision becomes clear, and every step has direction. Failure is no longer a setback but an iteration. This is true abundance — knowing what you are doing and understanding why you persist.

Well... basically, it's about finding faith. In Web3, you can really tell who are true believers and who are just here to make quick money.

Honestly, I've heard this kind of talk too many times, but few actually follow through. A sense of mission? First, just survive, then talk. I wonder what the difference is between this and just harvesting the little guys.

That's right, but I think most people are still attracted by cars and housing money, haha. Really, to truly stick to a sense of mission, you need sufficient financial support. Web3 has indeed attracted a group of believers, but it also depends on how long they can sustain it. Failing as iteration sounds great, but can you still think that way when you've lost your principal? A sense of mission is great, but I'm still more concerned about when it will take off.

It's really true. Compared to those who only shout slogans, only those who are truly rooted on the chain understand what it means to be alive. Once you find a sense of mission, you can't stop. That's exactly how I am. Someone asked me why I gave up traditional finance offers. I could only smile because I have already seen the future of decentralization. Failure is just iteration. This phrase really hit me. After experiencing several liquidations, I finally understood this truth. Those still struggling over cars and houses ultimately are not walking the same path as us.

Well... it sounds nice, but how many people can truly stick to it? --- A sense of mission needs to be supported by resources, right? --- Web3 friends, are you doing well now? Is your sense of mission from last year still there? --- When prices drop to rock bottom, you’ll know who truly has faith. --- Sounds good, but I just want to ask—can your sense of mission pay for gas fees? --- That makes sense, but... reality will teach people how to behave.

You're absolutely right, that's the reason I stick with crypto. It's not for getting rich overnight, but truly believing in the power of decentralization. --- To be honest, most people come in wanting to make money, but those who stick around are the ones whose faith has been reinforced. --- I like the word "sense of mission," it sounds much better than "financial freedom." --- Every time I want to give up during a bear market, I think of this quote; I still need to remember why I'm here. --- But I also have to admit, having a sense of mission and being able to make money are not mutually exclusive; you need both to feel comfortable. --- What attracts me most about Web3 is this uncertainty—there's no such thing as stability, which makes you clearer about what you really want. --- Haha, that's what they say, but in reality, not many people can truly do it. Most just run away at the first sign of a bear market. --- Knowing clearly why you are alive is easy to say but hard to do. I'm still on the path to finding that answer.

That's so true, a sense of mission can really change the course of life. Wow, this is the clearest perspective I've seen in the crypto circle. I'm driven by this kind of thing; otherwise, I would have been cut out long ago. Sometimes when I reflect, it's really not about the money, but about witnessing that moment. Agreed, but to be honest, most people can't find it at all, and I'm still exploring. This is much more interesting than those motivational articles; it really hit the mark.
