When My Blockchain Project Burned… and Why I'm Grateful

Ever spent months building something... only to watch it fall apart?

Last year, I launched a micro-payment blockchain platform with a few dev friends. It had great ideas, decent code—but zero adoption. Brutal.

But here’s what I learned:
🔹 People don’t adopt tech—they adopt *trust*.  
🔹 Marketing matters, even if the tech is amazing.  
🔹 If no one understands your product, it doesn’t exist.

We buried the repo, laughed at our mistake, and moved on.

Now I’m here, on Hive, hoping to do things better:
Share more. Learn faster. Fail smarter.

If you’ve had a tech project crash and burn, drop a comment. Let’s normalize learning through failure 💥
