# What kind of Community do we need in the Crypto Age?

# Preface
+ Yes, it is also a question asked to me, to decide maybe in the next decades which area I should embrace and enjoy. 
+ The Crypto Age is beginning with Bitcoin, and someone says, it was affected and inspired by the book <The Sovereign Individul>.
+ Yes, I create a word, **Crypto Age**, like Industrial Age, Information Age.

## Individuals are the leading actors
+ It is the cornerstone of the topic we are talking about. it is a conclusion.
+ But how did they organize themselves?
+ You will tell me: DAO.
+ Yes, but DAO is also a kind of community, and it must be suitable for me, a developer with a belief in Crypto.
+ The pop-up news of many crypto platforms appeared on my screen: XXX Capital invest XXX billion$ on XXX product or project.
+ I have semi-pride and semi-jealousy: the Crypto I admired becomes more and more important, But we, the normal ones or developers, are onlookers.
+ We need more actions and more active engagement.
+ Then we have been an early bird DeGen of Crypto Age, became a leading actor.

## Communities are the main entities of the Crypto Age
+ The main way for developers to join this game, is through the community participating and constructing.
+ The firms have money and resources, but they have the desire of controlling also, it a fatal weakness.
+ Community has the consensus, which builds buy the smart contract and interaction onchain.
+ But you can give an idea and call up some men to build the future you imagine.
+ A good Community needs time to build, like the Crypto mailing list, which produces the Bitcoin.
+ I DO NOT think we, individuals, and communities can build the future without the addition of capital.
+ But we can make the rules, we are the leading roles!
+ I give my utmost respect to the capital with a neutral stance.

## What stage are we in? 
+ Early-stage lack of participation and construction.
+ The eve of the outbreak in Web3, so many areas and constructions to be planned and built.
+ Yes, you can see many many projects published the valuation and financing with billions of dollars.
+ But, the core logic of Web3 is to share the benefits with users, not all the revenue belongs to the giants.
+ You can see [What is about Web3 here](https://hashnode.com/draft/623526926647c71acb642d4f).
+ Simply I think Web3 is the Internet of the Crypto Age, like the Electric Power in the Industrial Age.
+ Web3 is important, very important, but it is not the end of the Crypto Age.
+ It will bear many new conceptions and upgrades like Defi、GameFi、DID、Metaverse、Asset3.

## What kind of Community do we need?
+ 1.  For whom are desire to contribute to the Crypto Age's Infrastructure.
+ Don't trust, verify.
+ 2. To make DeGen people acquire easily participation and construction.   
+ Supply chain of DeGen life.
+ 3. It is a slef-motivation and slef-stimulate mechanism and organization.
+ You do, you earn with a Circulation.
