AI can code, design, and optimize. But it cannot manufacture trust.

As technology becomes commoditized, the competitive edge shifts to the human element. The builders who'll lead in the next wave aren't necessarily the ones with the best algorithms—they're the ones who can articulate a vision, frame narratives convincingly, and carry their stories with authenticity. In crypto and Web3 especially, where trust is everything, the founder's ability to communicate, inspire, and connect becomes the true moat. Story isn't decoration anymore. It's strategy.

To be honest, those still hyping up algorithms should wake up. The Web3 scene is all about trust, and storytelling is much more popular than coding.

ngl this hits different... trust is literally the secret sauce nobody can code, kinda like how you can't tokenize the taste of a perfectly aged brie, ya know? the founder's narrative is the farm-to-fork verification of their whole project fr

You're absolutely right, this is exactly what I've been saying... No matter how awesome the algorithm is, if no one believes in you, it's all pointless.

A story is a moat, and this statement hits the point. In the Web3 circle, honestly, the technology has long been commonplace; now it's a matter of who can tell the story better.
