The transition from soldier to entrepreneur is accelerating. The winner of this year's startup competition and founder of Glid, Kevin Damoa, is a living example. This entrepreneur with a military background has proven through his experience what kind of mindset and determination are needed to start a business in the Web3 space. He recently shared his entrepreneurial story on a podcast—covering how he participated, how he won the judges' favor, and the underlying logic behind the Glid project. Entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds entering the Web3 ecosystem are injecting new vitality into the entire industry. More and more people like Kevin with special backgrounds are choosing to start businesses in this field, which indicates what is good? It shows that the barriers to entry in Web3 are lowering, and opportunities are opening.

Starting a business with a military background? I like this idea; discipline + determination are really the most lacking qualities in Web3. Web3 is indeed becoming more open, and I believe the lowering of the barriers to entry is real; otherwise, more people wouldn't have the chance to try their luck. I'm curious about how Kevin managed to win the judges' favor—what exactly does Glid do? But to be fair, transitioning from a military background to the crypto field must involve quite a big shift in mindset... This is really what Web3 should look like—allowing people from all walks of life to find opportunities. It's truly a dividend of the times; whoever seizes it wins. I'm a bit eager to listen to that podcast episode; Kevin's story must be quite interesting. That said, only a few can truly stick with it—keep going, everyone.

Military personnel turning to entrepreneurship... If this approach works in Web3, it truly shows that things have changed. Kevin is serious; he's not the type to come just to harvest profits.

Using a military background to do Web3 is indeed a novel idea, but to be honest, regarding lowering the barriers to entry... who are the people entering now?

Military personnel turning to Web3? This wave is quite interesting... But what I care about most is, how is the on-chain data of the Glid project? Is there really a bottom consensus? Don't tell me it's another story of the leek mentality.

ngl, military discipline meeting web3 chaos? that's actually the difficulty adjustment we needed. seen too many over-hyped founders crash and burn—this guy's got the hardware to back it up fr

ngl, military discipline probably helps more than most realize... but let's see if glid's tokenomics actually hold water or if we're just looking at another bootstrap liquidity play dressed up as innovation

lmao "lower barriers" they say... meanwhile retail still getting rekt during accumulation phase. Kevin's story is cute but let's talk about the real market psychology here—winners get visibility, losers disappear. weak signals everywhere fr.
