Forming a team is something that people in the crypto circle always think about. Every time they see someone achieve some results through group efforts, everyone gets eager to try, wondering if they can play the same way. But what happens? Plans remain plans, and most of them end up unfinished.

This is a common pattern in crypto groups—doing subtraction. Having been in quite a few groups, I gradually noticed a pattern: the number of members appears to be increasing on the surface, but the number of people actually speaking is getting fewer and fewer. The group is lively at first, then gradually turns into a quiet corner, with only a few people responding to each other.

The reasons are varied. Some are because the topics go off-topic, some because trust decreases, and others simply because they can't hold on anymore. But ultimately, it’s that sense of cohesion slowly dissipates. Trying to form a combat-ready team is no easy task, and maintaining an active community is even harder.
