You're right that a good business can sell itself—but only when it reaches the market on time. Let me explain why your thinking, while optimistic, doesn't hold up in the real Web3 world.
❌ "Delay doesn't matter" — Wrong.
In crypto, timing is everything. Here’s proof:
🔥 Example 1: Nokia vs Apple
Nokia had great tech, a strong brand—but delayed innovating in the smartphone space. Apple moved fast, launched the iPhone in 2007, and Nokia collapsed, despite having better infrastructure at the time.
💀 Example 2: Libra (Diem) by Facebook / Meta
Backed by Facebook (Meta)—one of the biggest tech giants on the planet.
Had massive hype in 2019 with top VCs, huge media attention, and a powerful ecosystem plan.
Promised to revolutionize global payments.
But…
❌ Due to regulatory delays, unclear vision, and lack of swift execution, they lost momentum.
By the time they were ready (2021), crypto had already moved on — Ethereum L2s, Solana, stablecoins like USDC & USDT had taken over.
In early 2022, Meta shut the project down completely. And this was Facebook—with money, developers, and media power.
