Your niche in crypto matters way more than you think. Pick the wrong one and you're swimming against the current for years. Pick the right one? That's when things actually move.

The winners aren't always the ones grinding the hardest—they're the ones grinding in the right direction. Whether it's DeFi, NFTs, layer-2s, governance tokens, or whatever emerges next, the space you choose compounds everything. Your network gets built there. Your expertise deepens there. Your opportunities cluster there.

So before you jump in, ask yourself: Where's the actual energy? Where are smart people congregating? What problems haven't been solved yet? Then go all-in on that specific lane instead of chasing everything at once.

Focus beats scattered effort every single time.

Choosing the right track can truly make all the difference, and I have deep personal experience with this.

ngl Choosing the wrong track can really burn people out, I am a living example... --- Handshake, focus indeed is a hidden attribute, many people fail because of greed --- Exactly, but which track isn't a red ocean now? Can anyone tell me where the next real low point is? --- Truth be told, compared to blindly busying around, finding the right direction is the key to breaking the deadlock --- That's why I now only focus on layer2, and directly block out other voices --- The problem is how do you know where the smart people are? It feels like smart people are everywhere now... --- Focus is indeed important, but it's easier said than done. Who doesn't want to go all in? Just afraid of choosing the wrong direction for all in --- I totally agree, I've seen too many people pursue three tracks at once and end up with nothing

To be honest, choosing a track is like choosing a wife. If you pick the wrong one, it can really mess you up for years. I used to be the kind of person who tried everything, but ended up not accomplishing anything... Now I’m focusing on Layer2, and the rhythm feels completely different.

Basically, choosing the right track means betting on the right one. I'm still torn between DeFi and Layer 2... It wasn't until I saw others building ecosystems that I realized how much time I wasted.

It has proven that choosing the wrong track is like fighting against the protocol architecture... I spent two years in DeFi before realizing this. Now I am focusing on cross-chain interoperability, and the data feedback is significantly different.
