The truth is, too many people in Web3 are addicted to control—not progress. 🧠

They say they want adoption… but only if it’s through their protocol, their team, their wallet, their token. If it's not theirs, it's a threat.

But that’s not how revolutions happen. That’s how empires rot.

@Polkadot didn’t sponsor Messi to flex. It did it to show the world what usable, invisible, and mass-scale Web3 looks like. Not another whitepaper. Not another testnet. A real product. For real people.

And now that it’s working, some folks are panicking - not because it failed, but because it didn’t.

Gatekeepers don’t fear failure. They fear success that doesn’t belong to them.

But Web3 was never meant to be a gated garden. It was meant to be permissionless. Composably unstoppable. Bigger than any one team or idea.

If we kill every spark that doesn’t come from our own campfire, we’ll be sitting in the dark when the world moves on without us.

Polkadot can still lead. But only if we stop fighting over who holds the torch - and start lighting the path forward together. 🕯️🔥

Adoption is messy. But it’s also inevitable. Let’s stop slowing it down.
