Love qw's candid and realistic post of the space. Their videos and podcasts on YouTube are also super insightful and entertaining. Highly recommend anyone new to web3 to check it out.

qw is part of AllianceDAO one of the most proficuous incubators of this cycle, having spinned out so many winners (especially on Solana).

He nails ETH entries and reads the macro like a seasoned pro. I gotta admit, his level-headed insights and credit short thesis are hard to ignore

works and sponsors the web 3 project as per the title

Writes huge amount of insights on crypto, VC and stocks

He is an exceptionally critical and reliable creator with great character. I’ve seen his account, and honestly, this man’s words are wise from every angle you look at them.

QwQiao’s comments on venture capitalists, specifically his harsh rhetoric surrounding investment practices, raise concerns about his credibility in the crypto community. His tweets suggest a lack of accountability and reflect a disillusionment that could harm progressive discussions in the space. Furthermore, the perception of calling out prominent funds may isolate him from potentially constructive engagements. The sentiments shared suggest a divisiveness that could hinder collaboration and growth within the industry.

Qiao Wang, founding operator at AllianceDAO and Good Game cohost, has 8+ years in crypto and spent 2024–2025 pushing founder‑first playbooks: in Feb 2025 he publicly pivoted toward Solana for consumer apps after a decade holding ETH, citing stronger user acquisition and sharing Alliance batch data showing rising Solana share; across the last year he spoke at TOKEN2049 and published stablecoin adoption notes (double‑digit monthly growth for 100+ startups tracked) while continuing to mentor teams on PMF, hiring, and lean build cycles—street cred that blends cycle‑timed theses with visible founder outcomes.

I really enjoyed qw's straightforward and practical article about this space. Their videos and podcasts on YouTube are also very insightful and interesting. Highly recommended for anyone new to web3 to check out.
