Here's an interesting take on ownership: the founder's identity got verified back in December 2011, while the owner's credentials trace all the way back to 3000 BCE. Quite the timeline gap, right? The real lesson here hits different though—it's not about building everything under the sun. The actual play? Build strategically, but own what matters. That's where the real value sits.

It's really interesting. Stacking doesn't equal holding, and the difference is huge. Holding valuable assets is the real way to go. It's the same old theory, build, build, build—it's better to hold something that can truly appreciate. From 2011 to 3000 BC, that span is indeed incredible, but what we need to think about now is how to identify good entry points. This logic is basically saying, don't get caught up in the hype and build blindly; wait until you see the right opportunity before acting. Ownership is the ultimate game; no one cares how much trash you've built. It's a common saying: quality > quantity, and this is even more obvious in the crypto world.

You're just messing around with these metaphysical things again. To put it simply, you need to have the right stuff.

Wow, from 2011 to 3000 BC? That's an incredible time span, hilarious. Quality > Quantity, basically that's the logic, but how many people can really do it? Ownership is well said; you need something truly worth holding onto. Building a bunch of random stuff is not as good as focusing on one viable project. This is what Web3 needs to learn—don't always think about quick flips.

Come on, starting from 3000 BC? Is this guy talking about Bitcoin? Here we go again with this stuff.

The Madman's Diary has this flavor; from ancient times to today, those who truly make money are never reckless builders.

Huh? The owner from 3000 BC? What are you talking about? That's so absurd. Just build it and be done with it. Don't dawdle; having something is the hard truth. How is this logic even more complicated than the market chart I looked at... All this hype is just saying not to make things up? Why didn't you say so earlier? Ownership sounds nice, but isn't it just about who holds the chips? What's the use of a long time span? The key is who has the say right now. Build, build, build. In the end, it turns out no one wants what was built. That's a lesson.

This is the core of Web3. Not everything is worth building; you need to know what you're building.

The time span is indeed large, but the issue is—according to the governance framework in the white paper, ownership verification is essentially a product of information asymmetry. It is worth noting that true ownership should be redefined through the DAO's Token Weighted mechanism; otherwise, the "truly important things" you mention cannot be verified at all.
