Looking at it, the topic surprisingly turned to oneself. So I might as well say a few words from the heart.
Companies use "short, simple, and fast" pragmatic tactics to recruit talent, which logically means—they might also use "quick, good, and cost-effective" methods to lay off people tomorrow. There's nothing wrong with this approach; it's just a double-edged sword.
The same applies in reverse. When employees choose to violate professional ethics while on the job—sneaking around, playing both sides—and then continue to complain about their former company after leaving, you can call it reality. But the problem is: once this logic is set in motion, it's hard to turn back.
Ultimately, maximizing short-term gains will swallow long-term trust. Both companies and employees are playing this game, and in the end, it results in a mess—no one trusts anyone, recruitment costs soar, turnover rates are high, and team morale is terrible.
This is especially evident in the crypto community. Everyone knows this industry changes rapidly and carries high risks, so trust and long-term thinking should be relied upon to hedge against uncertainty. But in reality, many teams are still playing the "drink today and forget tomorrow" game. If this continues, it's no wonder the project won't go far.

Really, this is the microcosm of the current crypto world.
To put it simply, it's all about mutual distrust; everyone just wants to make a quick buck and run.
I'm honestly tired of it; every project team behaves like this.

On-chain data has long revealed the truth about capital flows; the strategic interactions between companies and employees are no different from whale traders—they're all about short-term arbitrage.

It's a bit heartbreaking, but that's indeed the case. Short-term arbitrage maximizes gains, but long-term ROI will inevitably approach zero.

This is the current state of Web3—everyone is betting on quick money, no one is thinking about long-term development.

Everyone is right, but the situation in Web3 is even worse... A bunch of projects confidently launch, founders cash out and run away.
Really, I've seen too many teams fall apart in less than half a year. Who can you trust?
Short-termism is especially rampant here; as long as the coin price drops, people's morale collapses.
But to be fair, employees aren't exactly innocent either... After eating up the project, they start blackening it, showing a double standard.
The key issue is that no one wants to play the long game anymore; greed and impatience have become the consensus.
If this continues, crypto really has no hope.

Forget it, that really hits too close to home. Our entire community has been ruined by ourselves.

Really, this hits home. Especially in the crypto space, a project's trustworthiness is like paper-thin from fundraising to exit scam.
Honestly, it's still greed.
Hey, have you ever thought about what those projects that survive the bear market are thinking? It's definitely not the people looking for short-term cash-outs.
The current problem is that bad money drives out good, and those who follow the rules end up at a disadvantage.

Hmm... that hits close to home, but that's just how the crypto world is.

Short-termism is especially like poison in crypto, really.
That hits home—if we keep hurting each other, no one will end up well.
The so-called "top performers" should seriously take a look at this, or the project will die sooner or later.
Talent drain, just watching it become a vicious cycle.
Trust is already scarce in the crypto space, and playing like this is truly suicidal.

empirically speaking, this is just capitalism's death spiral in real-time. both sides optimizing for extraction instead of compounding trust... and then shocked when the whole thing collapses. seen it a hundred times in crypto, actually.
