TechFlow news — On January 15, Dragonfly Capital managing partner Haseeb Qureshi responded in a recent podcast to the question "What's the most counterintuitive truth?" He said that nearly every significant crypto project was created by crypto natives—not elites from Google or Harvard. Whether Ethereum, Uniswap, or other major projects, they were all built by these deeply committed "weirdos" who live and breathe cryptocurrency. These people might seem "excessively online," but precisely they are the ones building the most important innovations.
On how to become a true crypto native, Haseeb Qureshi emphasized finding your unique edge. Don't try to completely reinvent yourself as another Vitalik, or force yourself to master complex zero-knowledge proofs. Instead, he offered the following advice:
- Identify the area where you excel the most
- Push that strength to its extreme
- Find the crypto projects or people who need that skill most
- Demonstrate your value through action
