I am repeatedly advised to reduce transparency. Whether on public pages or within the token holder community, I am told to do so.

"Mystery can attract people."
"Most people don't understand what you're explaining."
"Don't reveal your strategy, it's easy to copy."

But are these suggestions really reliable? I've thought about it for a long time. If the community can't see what you're doing, how can they trust you? Especially in this circle, trust itself is scarce. Maybe the real difference isn't in hiding, but in how clearly you communicate your ideas.

When it comes to transparency, the more mysterious it is, the easier it is to be cut. I prefer honest honesty that I can understand over pretending to be mysterious with套路

Playing the mystery game is outdated in crypto; it's better to communicate honestly and straightforwardly.

Transparency... It's really about trade-offs. A sense of mystery can indeed attract attention, but trust is valuable. Honestly, I've seen quite a few projects maintain hype through concealment, and they all ended up failing. Web3 is a paradise for cutting leeks through information asymmetry. Going against the trend might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

The aura of mystery has been outdated in Web3 for a long time; trust is the real hard currency.

That mysterious vibe is really outdated. Web3 survives on transparency; no one dares to invest in projects that aren't open.

Transparency, the more mysterious you make it, the more followers you lose... Honestly, people just want to see what you're really doing. --- I disagree with those who advise you to hide things; the most lacking thing in Web3 is this honesty. --- Strategy being copied? That just means your strategy isn't competitive at all, haha. --- Clear communication > mystery, this really hit me, so true. --- Community trust is built on being visible; projects that hide and cover up, I just pass. --- What do you think? Isn't it true that more transparent teams are more likely to succeed? --- Well said, but the reality is most projects choose to conceal... so sad.

Honestly, what's the mystery? I just want to see what you're really up to. You can't provide transparency and then blame us for not understanding... That logic is flawed. Smart people all understand that concealment = nothing good. Especially in the crypto world.
