I just saw the airport photos of the River team’s trip to Dubai, and to be honest, I was really moved. In the photos, they’re flashing V signs while sitting in a departure lounge café, with their boarding passes casually spread out on the table. Outside the window, Dubai’s neon lights and night rain are reflected on the glass—the kind of energy where your mind is buzzing with ideas the moment you land. That’s truly the most authentic side of the crypto community.

Reliable projects never rely on empty slogans. River’s usual low-key style is just like those who work quietly but efficiently. This time, they headed straight to a top exchange without any fanfare. When you think about those teams who are always shouting about partnerships and making empty promises, then look at these doers, the difference is obvious, right?
