The most heartbreaking thing about the primary market is not losing money. What truly hits you is that you can't even grasp the threshold to participate.

News always arrives late, quotas are never enough, and the final sentence is always: retail investors take the hit. In other words, it's an information black hole, a black box of allocation, and a lack of transparency in consensus.

Someone is trying to change these game rules. Instead of selling stories, they are making the processes of fundraising, allocation, and consensus verifiable and participatory. It sounds simple, but once you try, you realize how difficult it is.

The competition in 2026 won't be about who shouts the loudest. The real winners are those who build the infrastructure well. That’s what long-termism looks like.

I've seen this routine too many times; information asymmetry is always the biggest gold mine. --- Stop talking about long-termism. Open the black box first. --- Changing the game rules sounds good, but we don't know what it can really become. --- Retail investors are always the last to take the hit; this is never over. --- Building infrastructure is useless if no one truly wants transparency. --- 2026? I think the outcome has already been decided today. --- Slow news, no quota—this is the truth of the primary market. --- Who is really working on verifiable things? Or are they all just storytelling? --- It's not losing money that hurts the most, but not even having the qualification to get in. --- In the end, it's just one sentence that washes retail investors into the pond, cycle after cycle.

Hmm... It's the same old tricks in the primary market again. Information asymmetry equals wealth gap. Retail investors are always the last to know, it's exhausting. Infrastructure definitely needs to be refined seriously; otherwise, it's just a different flavor of the same old story. Those who truly want to change the rules, we'll see the results in 2026.

The more I hear the term "retail investors," the more uncomfortable I feel, like I'm always part of the wave being harvested.

Damn, it's the same old story. Information asymmetry is always deadly. --- The primary market is just a leek farm; don't even bother thinking about it. --- It's right here, but truly valuable projects are not even in our reach. --- Infrastructure? First, someone has to actually do it, not just talk about it. --- I just want to know who can truly break this black box, not just draw pie-in-the-sky plans. --- Heard similar words last year, but the result was still the same old story. --- Verifiable and participatory sounds good, but let's see how it actually gets implemented. --- The phrase "retail investors taking the bait" hits a nerve; it's always the same ending. --- Long-termism? You need to live until 2026 to see it. --- Information asymmetry is everything. Without transparency, there is no trust.
