Before you code, ask yourself three things:

Is it truly painful 😣 for users? Not just inconvenient—does it actually hurt their workflow or pocket?

Does it happen constantly 🔁? If it's a one-time headache, probably not worth the engineering effort. You need recurring friction.

Can you describe it precisely 🎯? Vague problems get vague solutions. If you can't pin down the exact pain point in one sentence, you're not ready to build yet.

Build only when all three align. The graveyard of crypto projects is full of solutions to problems nobody really had.

Honestly, nine out of ten dead projects in crypto are like this—fantasized demands. What I want to say is that many people haven't really figured out what users actually need, but they rush to write code. In the end, the products they create are unused, and the money is burned through. These three points seem simple, but in practice, very few people can fully understand and consider them all.

Exactly right, many projects die at the phrase "I think users need"... It really takes a sharp stab to the pain to be worth taking action.

Too true. Many projects fail because they rely on "I think everyone needs this," but nobody actually wants it.

Well said. Many projects die because of the phrase "I think users need it"... Really, think through the pain points carefully before taking action, or else it's just a waste of gas fees.

Well said. Many projects die because of "I think someone needs this"... They only think about making quick money and never ask if users really need it.

Well said, many projects die in this trap... I've seen too many "solutions" that no one actually wants to use.

That's so true, which is why most crypto projects ultimately fail... There aren't many issues that can be clearly articulated.

That's right, these three points are especially important in crypto. I've seen too many projects that are just brainstormed on a whim.

Oh my God, these three questions really should be memorized by those who randomly create coins... Honestly, nine out of ten projects that fail in the crypto space are just thought up on a whim.
