Young people are advised against going all-in on Web3. The picture painted by members of the Da Shi Brother group—of vibrant energy, endless partnership opportunities, and the ability to start earning immediately with zero experience or trust—is more reflective of the narrative peak around 2021 than the reality of 2026. Web3, as part of the financial infrastructure (stablecoins, asset tokenization, cross-border payments, prediction markets), is still advancing, and those who understand it will have opportunities in the future. But it has shifted from being a utopia where anyone could get rich instantly with no experience to a more professional, regulated, and cutthroat competitive landscape. Bitcoin has only just turned 18. Young people should pay attention and experiment, but going all-in typically places hope in luck and narratives rather than in skills one can control. It’s far more likely to lead to long-term success to first develop the ability to create independent value and make sound judgments, then determine your position size—rather than starting with an all-in bet.
