Everyone loves the hype around Web3 – decentralized apps, NFTs, DeFi magic. But look at the numbers. Fresh data shows just 200 Web3 projects globally made even $0.10 in revenue in the past 30 days. That means have zero cash coming in.
No sales? No problem, they think. They live off investor cash and token launches. Teams blow money on shiny events, fake influencers, and Twitter storms. It looks fun, but it’s a mask for no real value.

Vicious cycle starts. Hype lifts prices, teams grab funds. Product fails? Tokens dump, value crashes. Project ghosts, investors lose.
Running out of road? Teams face tough choices:
| Option | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Layoffs & Pivot | Cut staff, chase new trends. Delays real work. |
| Rug Pull | Team vanishes with funds. Kills trust. |
| Token Dump | Sell holdings, crash price. Short-term win, long-term loss. |

| Pump.fun | $1.5B | $100M | 15x |
| Others (avg) | $10B+ | $0 | Infinite |

run on tricks: tokens, VC, hype. House of cards. Top dogs build paywalls. In grown market, earnings beat all.
