You need to know how to identify assymmetric opportunites.
Here, the downside is small relative to the upside.
The concept of assymetric opportunities is largely based on the opportunity itself and YOU!
When it comes to YOU, a lot of factors play in
Your knowledege and skills
Your pocket
Your goals and blue print
Personally, I think the YOU factors is what validates the opportunity itself.
Let's look at 2 examples, Kaito and Monad.
For a meme trader, Kaito might not be much of a big deal to him.
We could argue that it would disrupt his own path. I have a lot of friends who are trading memes and I have seen how -EV it is to try to yap---unless they do it passively.
Similary, you don't expect an Angel investor to start yapping like a normal guy with 2-4 figures.
This doesn't take away Kaito's value props, it just emphasizes how it might not be a good fit for some people.
@DefiIgnas, @hmalviya9 and @stacy_muur have less incentivization to yap as much as I do and this makes a lot sense.
We also see the likes of @wals_eth and @Smokey_titan who have used the Kaito rails to scale.
There's also @ripchillpill with his yapline spaces. Worthy mentions are @Deebs_DeFi and @R2D2zen.
@WarrenNakamotoX is one subtle example of someone who embraced his creator arc cos it was vital to his blueprint.
Observe properly, "your state" validates the opportunity.
Now, let's draw the parallel to Monad.
Builders like @1stBenjaNAD and @0xtequilaa have to become more active on the TL because of what they are shipping---they need culture.
My frens like @monasex_1, @velicko_aleksej, @zayn4pf are adopting Monad from the creator lens cos it presents huge upside with compounding effect which is relevant to their journey.
Chances are that most angels will not be as hardcore as creators.
Incentives drive outcome!
I can give more examples with MegaETH, Virtuals, Fogo, Sei.
The main driver is always YOU!
