The irony runs deep here. Virtually every project was hyping up Q4 as make-or-break season, painting this elaborate picture of breakthroughs despite obvious market headwinds. Then what? Radio silence. Promises evaporated, communication collapsed, and suddenly you're left wondering if anyone actually believed their own narrative. Investors didn't mind betting big on ambitious timelines, but ghosting after missing targets? That's where credibility gets torched. It's not just about hitting or missing milestones—it's about owning the conversation when things don't pan out. The projects that survived this cycle are the ones that at least showed up to explain what went sideways.

Basically, it's just a bunch of pancake artists. If Q4 doesn't work out, they'll disappear without a trace.

Another "Wolf is Coming" season, promises flying everywhere in Q4. And now? Everyone's gone. --- Promises are like Bitcoin, you take a bite and they're gone. The most annoying thing is this kind of disappear-then-manage style. --- It's heartbreaking. Where's the promised breakthrough? It's not that we didn't achieve it, but they can't even be bothered to give an explanation. --- That's why I only trust teams that admit their mistakes. Compared to perfection, I value attitude more. --- It's just an explanation missing. Is it so hard? Top in stealth mode, but communication is terrible. --- Honestly, I'd rather hear "We messed up" than this cold shoulder treatment. At least it's human. --- After being cut countless times, I realize that the most valuable thing in a person is honesty. --- Radio silence is the greatest disrespect to investors, no doubt. --- The hype in Q4 is still being paid off; some teams just can't learn to admit their mistakes.

It's the same old trick again, Q4's big pancake was drawn perfectly, and the result? It vanished into thin air.

It's the same old trick again, hyping it up until it takes off and then disappearing, damn it.

That's why I stopped believing in the roadmap long ago; it's all nonsense.

actually, this is peak game theory in action. when you remove transparency from the equation, every silent founder becomes a walking exit scam hypothesis. the projects that survived? they understood the empirical reality: admitting failure builds more trust than promising miracles. fundamentally speaking, communication IS the value proposition here.

Farting, is there really a project daring to come out and explain at this time? I think they're all just making excuses.
