Everyone says that working in Web3 can escape 996, freely arrange your time, and no longer have to worry about 9-to-5. But what’s the reality? You simply can't stop in this circle. The market never sleeps 24 hours a day, you have to keep up, looking at K-line charts late at night, collaborating with global teams on Discord during weekends, and browsing community updates during holidays. In the end, you realize that the price of Web3 freedom is being always online. The flexible work schedule they promised ultimately turned into a pace even more intense than traditional work.

Being always online means being always cut off—that's the true picture of Web3.

Always-on sounds free, but it's actually a different way of committing suicide

Always online, in plain terms, means being forever kidnapped, haha.

nah the irony hits different tho... "escaping the grind" just means you're running a 24/7 mempool of stress instead. gwei patterns don't sleep and neither do you apparently lmao
