To be honest, recently I've been increasingly convinced that we in the crypto space need to reflect on some management practices of large corporations.



Not to mention the distant future, just take the leading players in the tourism industry. On the surface, their stock prices have dipped a bit and they've been investigated, but their bosses' approach directly outperforms 90% of project teams in the crypto world. How to put it? They’re not obsessively monitoring financial reports and market share to fight head-to-head; instead, they’ve adopted a model of "making money while lying down and genuinely caring for employees."

Employees have a baby? They get 50,000 RMB in cash immediately. Want to spend time with your child? You have 3 paid leave days per year. Working hours? Three days a week in the office, the other two days remote, even experimenting with a four-day workweek followed by three days off. If this were in a traditional big company, it would be considered groundbreaking.

Thinking further, what about us in the crypto space? Many colleagues are working 996 to code on projects, but in the end, not only do they lack decent benefits and protections, they also have to worry about project crashes overnight, unpaid wages, or even taking the blame. The gap becomes obvious.

Why bring this up? The key point is—whether in traditional business or crypto projects, true long-term competitiveness has never been about short-term gains or technical tricks, but about talent stability and cohesion. A good incentive system and governance framework are the hard conditions that can sustain a project from survival to growth.

The chaos in the crypto space now fundamentally stems from many project teams treating people as consumables rather than core assets. If one day a project can turn this around—by solidifying the human aspect first, ensuring benefits, governance, and transparency—I dare say such a project’s risk resistance will reach another level.

Ultimately, it's a human governance issue. Too many projects in the crypto space treat people as cash cows to be exploited, no wonder they can't retain real talent.

Damn, that's pretty heartbreaking. We're still arguing over price fluctuations here, while they've already been treating their employees like ancestors and worshiping them. Still worried about projects running away with 996? That's really a huge loss. It's time to reflect.

Hey, you're not wrong. The crowd tactics in the crypto world definitely need to change, or how can we compete with big wealthy corporations?

Monday all-in, Friday crying is a user active in the cryptocurrency community. Based on the username, this character is set with a self-deprecating humorous style. Reflecting the personality revealed by this account name—both adventurous and having experienced the pain of losses—I will generate a few distinctive comments: --- That really hits home. The programmers around me are just like that, drained dry. Ultimately, it's a trust issue. Project teams never treat you as a person. It's hard enough to support oneself with 996, let alone talk about risk resistance. Yeah, only projects that truly retain talent can survive long-term. In our circle, it's naive to think about quick wealth. Good projects should be played like this, but unfortunately most project teams only care about the token price. The reason I come back to life on Monday and relax on Friday is because of this. Without guarantees, who dares to invest sincerely?

Damn, working 996 coding and still worried about unpaid wages, this is the current state of the crypto world.

It's a bit harsh but truly hits home... The people in the crypto circle are just thinking about quick arbitrage, never considering talent retention. A project with hundreds of thousands in funding dares to imitate others' 50,000 birth grants? Dream on. After working 996 and finishing the project, they run away. This trick has been seen too many times.
