The adaptation of Web3 by traditional Web2 founders often gets stuck on the entry method. Instead of forcing existing Web3 frameworks into place, it's better to think differently — envision Web3 as the starting point of a new project or the next upgrade for existing businesses. The practices of giants like Meta, Nike, and Starbucks clearly illustrate this point: starting from real-world scenarios and gradually exploring on-chain mechanisms, rather than forcibly pushing tokens and NFTs into products. What are the benefits of this approach? The entry curve won't drop sharply, allowing teams and users to transition smoothly. The key is to use real case studies for teaching, so founders can see how large companies implement it in practice, rather than just bombarding them with a bunch of concepts. This is the sustainable way to adopt Web3.

That's right, forcing Web3 frameworks is really a dead end. Look at those projects that casually throw out a token, leaving users completely confused. It's better to start from the scenario and proceed gradually, like Starbucks does. Users won't feel any awkwardness and will naturally accept it. Talking about concepts alone is useless; you need to see how others do it. Case studies are the real key. The Web2 mindset really needs to change. Not everything has to be on the blockchain. Start with familiar things, then gradually introduce on-chain logic—that's more reliable. The trial paths of major companies are definitely worth learning from.

That's right, forcing it will only mess things up. Just look at those failed projects to know. --- Why did Meta succeed? It's because they didn't try to achieve everything at once, but took steady and solid steps. --- Stop with those flashy tricks; users don't care how the tokens are distributed. They just want something that works. --- Really, anyone still hyping NFTs probably hasn't seen Nike's case. --- Starting from the scene is so crucial, but unfortunately most entrepreneurs are all about tokenomics. --- Taking it slow can actually be faster. Why is this so hard to understand?

That's right, forcing a framework like that really doesn't work. Just look at Meta's approach. Wait, how did Starbucks do with NFTs? Seems like there's no more news. Starting from the scene is the right approach. Another article about taking things step by step, but how many actually listen? This time, let's find a case to talk about who had a failure. Negative examples might be more useful. A smooth curve sounds good, but the problem is that VC doesn't give any time at all.

Well said, you can't force it. --- I'm watching how Meta does it; they definitely don't start with token bombardment. --- This approach is correct; starting from the scene is much more reliable than forced integration. --- A smooth transition is the way to go; there's no need to rush. --- You have to speak with examples; no matter how many concepts there are, it's useless. --- I just want to know which Web2 bosses truly get this point. --- Forcing it is more likely to backfire; a gradual approach is indeed more stable. --- The key is having someone to lead the way; otherwise, you're still in a state of confusion. --- Don't do so many flashy things; being practical is the most important. --- Sustainable... this word is used well; it's not just a passing trend.

Oh wow, someone finally hit the nail on the head. Stop forcing that old stuff. --- It sounds like it's based on the actual needs of users. Don't rush to issue tokens. --- Meta's recent moves are indeed good. I find them quite reassuring. --- The key is not to scare away your user base. Progressing step by step is the way to sustain long-term success. --- Honestly, most founders are still fooled by that pile of theories. --- Upgrading existing business? I approve of this approach. It's much more reliable than just making things up out of thin air. --- But the problem is that most people still only blindly throw money into tokens and NFTs, and they won't listen. --- This gradual approach is the way to go for the long run, not just a passing trend.

That's so right, you can't force Web3; you need to start from the essence of the business. Looking at those big companies, it's clear that a gradual approach is the way to survive. Not all founders need to jump into tokens right away; first, they should connect the scenes. Meta's NFT efforts took so long to realize, which shows that piling up concepts is really useless. The key is to let users transition naturally; don't just throw tokens at them all at once. Oh my God, finally someone explains this clearly, killing those who only shout concepts. The industry should stop fooling founders already; it depends on how the case is handled.
