李顯龍總理在今年國慶群眾大會的華語演講中，呼籲年長國人施打第二疫苗追加劑，同時談到地緣政治的挑戰、華社對國家認同感、消費稅等課題。 他表示，政府將會繼續觀察生活費上漲的問題，並在必要時，為國人提供更多援助。 李顯龍總理在今年國慶群眾大會的華語演講中，呼籲年長國人施打第二疫苗追加劑，同時談到地緣政治的挑戰、華社對國家認同感、消費稅等課題。 他表示，政府將會繼續觀察生活費上漲的問題，並在必要時，為國人提供更多援助。
總理已先後以馬來語和華語發表演講，之後在晚上8點，將以英語演講。 《8視界新聞網》將在8點現場直播和為你即使報導。
總理的華語演講全文如下：
各位同胞， 大家晚上好，很高興今天能在這里和大家再次見面。
這兩年多， 我們 齊心對抗冠病， 歷經不少考驗 。 現在，大家的生活漸漸恢復正常了也正在學習如何與冠病共存。
在這期間，民眾互相幫助，也全力配合政府。 我衷心感謝大家的付出和努力。
病毒還在變種，我希望大家保持警惕這包括：勤洗手，戴口罩、有症狀，自檢測、雙紅線，請隔離、打疫苗，別遲疑。
年滿80歲的國人，我懇請你去打第二個追加劑。 其他比較年輕的樂齡人士，我也勸請你們去打第二個追加劑，我自己就已經這麼做了。 這將給我們更好的保護，減少患上重症的風險。
地緣政治挑戰
我們在應對疫情的時候 ，也面臨其他的挑戰。
外部的環境越來越不穩定感覺到山雨欲來風滿樓。 中國和美國的分歧日漸加深，台灣問題只是其中一個爭端。 另一個影響全球安全形勢的是俄羅斯對烏克蘭的侵略。 這導致俄羅斯和許多國家，尤其是和美國以及其他北約國家，產生了深刻的矛盾。 而這一切都對新加坡影響深遠，我擔心，這個區域裡，大國之間的博弈會更加激烈，局勢也會更加緊張。 亞太地區會不會出現和歐洲一樣的糾紛，發生衝突呢？ 我們不能排除這個可能性，所以，要做好心理準備，團結一致，應對任何危機。
俄烏戰爭爆發的時候 ，新加坡明確表態譴責俄羅斯。 一般新加坡人明白政府的立場，但是也有一些人問政府，為什麼要得罪俄羅斯？ 為什麼要和美國站在同一陣線？ 新加坡何必“強出頭”？ 其實我們不是選邊站，我們不是親美，也不是要和俄羅斯作對。 但是，我們必須採取堅定的立場，捍衛根本的原則，不能含糊。 因為國家主權和領土完整，對所有國家，無論大小，都很重要。 尤其對新加坡這樣一個小國來說，這關係到國家的生存。 我們向來反對強權就是公理。 當1983年美國入侵格林納達的時候，新加坡在聯合國大會上就投下反對票。 1978年越南入侵柬埔寨的時候，我們同樣堅決反對。 在烏克蘭問題上，如果我們不堅持立場，不明確表態，萬一有一天，我國面對侵略，國際上就不會有人為我們說話。
聯合國提呈譴責俄羅斯決議案時世界各國的立場並不相同。 在亞洲國家當中，印度投了棄權票。 印度的主要戰略考量是與中國的關係。 印度與中國之間存在相當嚴重的摩擦。 因此，他們有充足的理由要同俄羅斯保持友好關係，他們也要繼續向俄羅斯購買軍備。 中國也投了棄權票。 中國主要考慮到自身與美國之間的矛盾。 中方認為，即使他們反對俄羅斯的侵略行為，也不會贏得美國的感激和回報。 一些中國的言論甚至認為，美國對付俄羅斯之後，下一個目標就是中國。 畢竟，一些美國的言論，就把烏克蘭問題定義為民主國家和獨裁政權之間的鬥爭。 這使到中國更不願意削弱同俄羅斯“上不封頂”的戰略合作關係。 在亞細安，越南和老撾投了棄權票。 這兩個國家從蘇聯時代，就同俄羅斯的關係密切。 其他的亞細安成員國雖然支持決議案，但都沒有點名譴責俄羅斯。 這是可以理解的，他們的危機感不像我們那麼強烈，因為他們都不是亞細安最小的成員國。 新加坡是亞細安最小的成員國，我們的利益考量自然和這些國家不一樣。 這就是為什麼我們不但譴責俄羅斯，還對它採取了針對性的製裁。
茉莉花園 • 38m 我剛才一一說明了各國對俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭所採取的立場，主要就是要讓大家可以進一步了解，不同國家有不同的利益和考量。 我們從社交媒體，例如WhatsApp、Telegram、Facebook、微信等，獲得各種信息。 我們可能以為這些信息都是真的，都是可信的。 其實，有些信息是別有用意的，想要影響我們的立場，甚至破壞民眾對政府的信任。 例如，在烏克蘭的問題上，人們在手機上接收到的信息，有不少顯然是要激起一種強烈的反美情緒。 中文的有，英文的也有。 另一些信息，目的是要抹黑俄羅斯和中國，他們也是想要影響我們的立場，要我們和西方站在一起。 所以，當我們收到任何信息的時候，都必須要有所警惕，想一想：這些信息是哪裡來的？ 有什麼用意？ 我們真的要把它轉發給朋友嗎？ 我們應該先弄清楚事實，不要“照單全收”。 我們必須防範不良外國勢力的干預，不論它來自哪一方，這樣我們才能夠保障國家的主權和獨立。 讓我感到慶幸的是，大多數國人都支持政府對烏克蘭戰爭的立場，包括常用華文社交媒體的華社人士。
文化傳承
華社人士能夠認清國家利益，是因為我們對國家的認同感越來越深厚 ，也和我們的文化自信有密切的關係。
我們的文化工作者很有本土意識，他們在創作裡註入本地特色，反映了他們對這片土地的熱愛。
譬如：成立了五年的新加坡華族文化中心，不但積極通過各種活動，介紹華族的傳統文化，還展現了我國獨特的文化面貌。 最近，中心演出了一部音樂舞台劇，以嫦娥奔月的故事為靈感。 這是一個古今結合的創作，融入了許多本地元素，包括新謠、本地特色的語言，和新加坡人的情感。
我們優秀的新加坡華樂團，也經常呈獻很有南洋風韻的音樂。 樂團成員有土生土長的新加坡人，也有在這里居住了幾十年的新移民，他們不新了，早就是老移民，早就融入了新加坡社會。 疫情期間，樂團在線上演奏了一曲本地創作的華樂，叫做《融》，融合的融，表現出我們同舟共濟的精神，讓我們聽一小段。
近年來，許多人士和團體對本地華族語言、藝術和宗鄉組織進行研究，反映我們對文化成果的自豪。 一個例子是，推廣華語理事會推出的新加坡華語資料庫，收錄了本土特色的詞彙。 這些詞彙跟其他華人社會的用法，是不大一樣的。
例如，年輕人談戀愛，我們這裡會說“拍拖”。 我們去旅行，是說去“吃風”。 當我們覺得幸好沒事，會說“好彩”。 另一個，我們的老闆，叫“頭家”。 如果你聽到朋友這麼說，我要跟女朋友去拍拖，出國吃風，好彩頭家點頭，你馬上知道他是自己人。
在這個基礎上，新加坡華族文化中心即將成立一個研究小組，對本土華族文化的發展進行有系統的研究和介紹。 這個計劃獲得政府的支持。
新加坡的華族不再是落葉歸根，而是落地生根。 我們有自己的故事可以說，而且一定要把它說得精彩。
經濟挑戰
接下來，我要談一談，大家十分關注的生活費問題。 最近，大家都發覺很多東西比以前貴了，錢不夠用。 政府知道人民的擔憂，所以，我們已經採取措施，竭盡所能協助有需要的國人。
而我們的做法， 是提供針對性的援助。 其中一項家家戶戶都能受惠的計劃，就是社區發展理事會 （CDC） 的鄰里購物券。 這個購物券可以幫助大家應付日常開銷。 大家用購物券，在鄰里買東西、吃飯，還能幫助到鄰里商家和小販，可說是一舉兩得。
我很高興，CDC購物券受到大家的歡迎。 至今，有超過1萬8000個鄰里商家、小販和咖啡店攤主參與了計劃。 大多數的家庭已經使用了購物券，總額將近1億8000萬元。 數目相當可觀！ 這個計劃說明了我們如何有效地利用資源，對症下藥，減輕大家的負擔。
這個財政年度，也就是4月開始，我們陸陸續續推出了許多援助配套。 讓我舉一個具體的例子，這是一個住三房式組屋的低收入家庭一對夫婦，兩個小孩。 我準備了這份特別的月曆，給大家做個介紹。 你看他們獲得的援助很多，密密麻麻的，幾乎每個月都有。
我剛才提到的CDC購物券，就在五月發出去了，明年一月還有一些。 這個月，他們會得到現金補助1400元。 到了十月會有U-Save水電費和雜費回扣差不多190元。 十一月沒有，財神爺請假。 明年二月會有300元的保健儲蓄戶頭填補。 全部加起來，這十二個月內，這個家庭能夠獲得的援助總額，將高達3700元。
所以請放心大家都會得到援助。 援助比較多，或者比較少，就要看收入和住屋類型而定。 明年三月過後，政府會繼續通過“定心與援助配套”，幫助國人減輕消費稅上調的影響同時，政府會繼續觀察情況，如果有必要的話，我們當然會提供更多援助。
你可能會問政府既然可以給這麼多援助， 為什麼就不能延後調高消費稅，或甚至取消調高消費稅？ 我能理解大家的心情和顧慮，不調高消費稅，肯定很受大家歡迎。 但是，這是不負責任的。 因為，我國人口正在快速老化。 現在，每六個人當中，就有一個已經超過65歲。 到了2030年，年長者比例會增加，到時每四個人當中，就有一個是年長人士。 一些老市鎮老化得更快。 譬如我的選區德義，已經有四分之一的居民超過65歲。 80年代，我當選為國會議員時，我是個年輕家長，許多德義區居民也是年輕夫婦。 一轉眼，我們都老了。 真的是，歲月不留人。 我每次到選區參加活動，都會見到他們。 我發現，需要拿拐杖和坐輪椅的居民越來越多了。 很多年老居民還來參加活動，我很高興，但是也替他們擔憂，因為他們的醫藥需求肯定會逐年增加。 因此，我們必須做好充分的準備，以更好地照顧年長人士。 比如，我們要提供更多藥物津貼，減輕年長國人和他們家人的醫藥費負擔。 我們也必須建設更多醫院、綜合診療所等等，讓他們獲得完善的醫療服務。 所以，我國的醫療保健和社會保障開支正在飆升。 人民害怕錢不夠用，政府也擔心錢不夠用。 政府擔心的是我們沒有足夠的資源去照顧低收入家庭，以及老年人的醫藥保健需求。
在疫情期間，我們能夠比較從容應付，是因為我們向來謹慎處理國家財政，才累積了足夠的儲備金，能夠幫助民眾紓解生活壓力。 我們應該秉持這種未雨綢繆的美德，為長遠做打算。
總結
這兩年多來，整個世界都經歷了嚴峻的考驗，許多國家受到很大的衝擊，經濟低迷、出現政治對立、社會嚴重分化。 我們的情況好多了。 雖然大家的日子過得很不容易，但是我們沒有驚慌失措，沒有氣餒、沒有退縮。 相反的，我們沉著應戰，我們知道，唯有上下一心、互相扶持，才能安穩地渡過難關。 我們經過了這場考驗，社會已經變得更有凝聚力，更加堅強。 這給了我們更大的勇氣和信念，面對未來的各種危機。 無論是經濟的挑戰、社會的矛盾，還是國家的安全。 我相信，我們都能夠一一克服它們。
在國慶的慶典上，我可以感受到大家同在一起的精神，看到大家的努力和付出。 我非常感動。 有了這種迎難而上、同甘共苦的精神，我們這個小紅點就能夠繼續發光發亮，我們的子子孫孫才可以夠擁有燦爛的未來。
謝謝！

A partner who perpetrates physical abuse has given up any moral right to the sanctity of marriage.
Couples who engage in, tolerate, and thus, normalize emotional abuse endure their marriages; however, they do not thrive.
A person whose partner regularly checks out with substances is essentially on their own.
JillWellington/Pixabay Source: JillWellington/Pixabay Marriage counselors have a lot of techniques and insights they commonly employ to help a couple rediscover what is great about their relationship or learn how to open up about the issues keeping them from solving their problems. And why shouldn't they? Human problems are capable of human solutions. But what about the other end of the continuum? How bad does a marriage have to be before we call it quits?

Know When to Cut Your Losses
In his revised and updated 2016 edition of The Evolution of Desire, University of Texas at Austin Professor David Buss writes, "We are the descendants of those who knew when to cut their losses." In other words, there are those relationships that live at the other end of the toxic continuum and are so toxic that they threaten our safety and perhaps our very lives.
Fortunately, in the United States and elsewhere where religious prohibitions have been voted out, there exists a remedy for such failures in mate selection: divorce. We get to admit our choice ended up a very bad one, indeed, and that marital matters have not miraculously been remedied by time.
We then can go down to the appropriate governmental offices and put a freakin' wooden stake through the heart of our mistake and start over. Think of it as a sort of flipping over your "Etch A Sketch" of a life, giving it a good shake or two, and then moving on—hopefully, the wiser.
As straightforward as the legal process of divorce is, very few marriage counselors seem to be willing to share with their clients when enough is enough. I, however, am not that counselor, which is why I give you five great reasons to get a divorce:
Top of the list, without a doubt, is physical abuse. There could hardly be a more egregious refutation of the entire reason the two of you entered into your partnership. Remember? You were going to join forces in facing the challenges the universe presented with care, compassion, and love, and by doing so, maximize your odds of success in solving life's problems? But, some time after, your mate attacked you in an overt threat to your safety, your health, and perhaps, even your life. In perpetrating physical abuse, they have given up any moral right to the sanctity of marriage. They are self-disqualified from further consideration. Get out! (And yes, this boundary should have been very clear from the beginning of the relationship, ideally with a built-in structure allowing each of you the financial resources to move on without the other; also yes, I'm a counselor who has helped a

Last December, Powder teamed up with web3 studios and gaming creators to produce the first blockchain game clip NFT collection on Solana — Powder Heroes. It sold out in 41 sec. Here’s the guidebook on how we did it.
Powder’s core business has not traditionally been linked to NFTs. For the last two years, we’ve been focused on building a game clip tech infrastructure for mobile and PC, combining sourcing, editing, and sharing features, as well as a proprietary AI highlights detection tech.
In light of our mission to democratize gaming content creation, NFTs were hard to pass by. Hence, the idea behind Powder Heroes — the first step towards linking our infrastructure to the turnkey NFT minting capabilities to share ownership across gamers, creators, and studios.
Aimed at both traditional gamers and NFT enthusiasts, Powder Heroes was produced by gaming studios The Sandbox, DNAxCAT, and Life Beyond, in collaboration with 13 gaming creators from around the world, featuring streaming highlights generated by the AI technology.
The final collection, amassing 1111 game clip collectibles of varying levels of rarity, was set to drop on Dec 20, 2021 — right in time for Christmas. By 5 PM CET, our Discord was on fire. At 6 PM CET we opened the public mint.
It sold out in 41 seconds. Gathered in a conference room, sleep-deprived and ecstatic, we screamed, unable to believe what just happened.
Fast forward three months, we’ve had some time to digest and are ready to share our insights. No drop is the same, of course, and there was certainly room for improvement in our approach — but there are valuable lessons in it, especially for those venturing into the universe of NFTs for the first time.
In this article, these lessons are split into three parts: 1. STRATEGY & OPS — 2. ASSETS CREATION & TECH — 3. MARKETING & COMMUNITY
PART 1: STRATEGY & OPS Benchmarking to learn about the space When it comes to NFTs, you may not be as “early” as you think you are.
Web3 is a world apart. While you may be perceived as a pioneer by some, you’re likely to come off as a newbie in web3 without due preparation. Yes, the NFT market is young and there’s plenty of room to innovate within — but it’s moving super fast. There are already rules in place, often unspoken, that you have to respect to overcome the ‘opportunism’ stigma and be accepted as an insider.
Benchmarking other NFT projects can do wonders to help you integrate. We looked into 40+ successful drops, reading news articles and white papers, browsing through old Discord announcements and Twitter posts.
We gathered all the data in a comparative doc and had a collective brainstorm to distill the most (and least!) successful go-to-market practices. We also shared screenshots of exemplary Tweets and Discord messages to get our brand tone right, and put together an NFT glossary while at it — you really can’t do without the jargon in the space!
Researching the market in-depth Know everything there is to know about your blockchain.
Each native currency ecosystem is unique, with its own blue-chip collections, OGs, and ethos. We chose SOL for its lower carbon footprint, democratic gas fees, and grassroots community spirit.
We recommend thoroughly researching each coin to make sure it matches your company culture, as well as the purchasing power and profile of your target audience.
Irrespective of the blockchain, the crypto market is notoriously volatile. Taking the pulse of the market daily is therefore essential — as you may have to respond quickly to its changes. For instance, we reduced our initially intended supply from 3333 to 1111 collectibles to adapt to the state of the Solana market at the time.
Understanding (and educating) your audience Don’t take your target audience for granted.
Buyers in the space have become accustomed to generative pfp collections, so if you’re doing something radically different from that — as we did with our gaming clips NFTs — there’s always a risk it will not be as well-received as the more ‘familiar’ derivative drops. You’ll need a strong storyline around the project to justify a new format and ultimately stand out in this ‘noisy’ market.
Example of a Powder Hero NFT. If your audience is not crypto-savvy already, make sure to provide them with tutorials on setting up a wallet and minting, as well as a comprehensive FAQ page and educational events on Discord if needed. For most of our partner creators too, Powder Heroes was the first time dealing with NFTs, so 1–1 onboarding proved useful.
Another challenge for us was bridging the gap between our traditional community, consisting of web2 gamers using our app to make clips, and Powder Heroes NFT holders whose main motivation was to ‘flip’ our NFTs on the secondary market for profits.
Not all NFT holders are there for quick gains, however. A lot of them will HODL, i.e. hold on to the asset, as they expect meaningful utility in exchange for their investment in the future. More on that later on.
Roadmap and white paper Preparing an NFT drop is a journey that gets a lot easier with a map.
A roadmap, broken into early quarters, is needed to set a clear long-term direction for the team. It also reassures future buyers that your project is not a scam. White papers detailing the roadmap, vision, and ‘business plan’ are present in practically all NFT-native projects today.
On your website, make sure to showcase your roadmap, white paper, team, investors — everything that will highlight the project’s legitimacy.
Meticulous planning for before / during / after the mint day You should anticipate everything to the last detail.
Things like taking into account commission in your pricing strategy, for how long the whitelist should be open, which tutorials to share and where. We recommend (over)thinking everything through to minimize bad surprises.
To help with that, we had a weekly agenda, detailing a timeline for all of our key activities. We tracked the progress of each action item via a Notion spreadsheet, overseen by our project manager.
We then switched to hourly planning during the whitelist and mint days. We also laid out a post-mint strategy for three possible scenarios: 1. we sell out, 2. we sell out partially, 3. almost nobody buys. Luckily, we hit the jackpot there :)
Team spirit and knowledge sharing It really helps if the team executing the drop is truly passionate about NFTs.
The NFT space is a peculiar place, with unique social dynamics and culture (and lingo 😱), so dedicating yourself full-time to it requires a genuine interest and knowledge.
From the start, we put an emphasis on educating everyone in the company on NFTs through presentations and crash courses on the topic and sharing the most relevant news articles in a dedicated Slack channel to spread the knowledge.
PART 2: ASSETS CREATION & TECH Crafting your NFTs Beyond looking amazing, NFTs should come with utility.
There are design codes and graphic styles that distinguish NFT collections, be they pfps, cards, or real estate objects. For our ‘mood boards’ we drew inspiration from iconic NFTs but also tried thinking outside the box, borrowing influences from other creative industries.
Design breakdown of Powder Heroes NFTs. Beyond nailing the visuals, you must anticipate the long-term utility of your NFTs — which is what the market expects today, particularly from new projects that don’t come from a big name. What are the perks your community can enjoy after the drop?
We offered perks like airdrops, privileged access to the Powder app, as well as voting rights for NFT holders — more info on these in our manifesto. Note that the buyers will expect you to deliver on your promises immediately after the drop — this is not the space for empty words and slow actions.
Legal issues and revenue split Be mindful of potential IP issues.
There’s a tempting grey zone when it comes to NFTs in terms of what can be ‘borrowed’. We chose to play it safe, securing the IP rights directly with studios and creators directly. A powerhouse legal team in the US was instrumental in that process.
We then proposed an equitable revenue split reflecting our mission with this project, which is democratize gaming content creation and increase distribution on web3 games.
Tech infrastructure for minting Web3 tech is not as mature (yet) as the hype would have us think.
When it comes to the mining infrastructure, a lot of the platforms out there are still in beta and/or have inherent design limitations. “Can devs do something?” has become an iconic phase in the space for a reason.
Some issues we experienced first-hand:
Metaplex is programmed in a way that multiple creators cannot be listed as owners of the NFT collection on primary sale; A secondary marketplace not supporting video files preview on their interface — it had to be changed manually by their team to respect the specs of Powder Heroes. We do not doubt that the tech will mature to perfection soon enough, but it’s not quite there yet. The good news is that it’s pretty accessible — a web2 developer without prior experience can implement it. Just take the time in advance to really understand and appropriate the tech.
How Powder Heroes NFTs were generated using AI. PART 3: MARKETING & COMMUNITY Network is everything Web3 is a community-driven space.
Your Twitter game must be strong! Hosting and attending Twitter Spaces (TS) is especially important to get the word out there. It’s common to co-host these with other NFT projects to learn from each other (which we certainly did!) and mix communities. We DM-ed dozens of projects to connect!
There’s a strong culture of helping each other out and giving back to the community, so regular shoutouts and cross-promotions will help nurture long-term relationships. In the absence of traditional advertising channels, web3 projects rely on one another to increase everyone’s exposure.
There are also NFT influencers, specific to their respective blockchain ecosystems, paid and non-paid. The latter is of course preferable, for they will engage with your projects out of genuine interest and won’t be accused of “shilling” (i.e. promotion in exchange for money). You’re likely to come across each other in TS, so take the initiative to develop friendships when that happens.
Oh, and get ready to shift from email to Twitter & Telegram to discuss web3 collabs.
Twitter marketing, calendars, and media You want to be everywhere in the days leading up to mint day.
Besides TS and influencers, another common crypto Twitter technique is airdrops! It’s customary to have some of the NFT supply reserved just for these giveaways— as well as for pre-sale, taking place a few days before the actual drop with a whitelist that people can sign up for.
Before dropping NFTs, some projects drop cash baits in crypto or $$. We’d generally advise against that, as you won’t attract and retain high-quality followers this way — it’s better to try and acquire them organically, to ultimately build a community that cares. That said, reputable web3 projects will only back you when you have a bedrock of followers already, so it’s a chicken-and-egg challenge to be aware of.
Besides being mega active on Twitter, have your drop listed in several popular calendars like NFT Calendar and NFT Evening. We also distributed our press release on NFT blogs and crypto news media and got featured on secondary marketplaces Magic Eden and Solanart. The former arranged a special promotion for us on the mint day.
For all partner studios and creators featured in the collection, we made customized media kits with assets they could post directly on social media to further boost visibility around the pre-sale and mint days.
P.S. Having a recognizable and consistent visual brand identity is a must for all marketing activities.
Critical presence on Discord Regular and transparent communication is paramount from day one.
Discord is where the most up-to-date and detailed project announcements are shared. Be it to present the next step in the roadmap or signal a technical issue, be honest and transparent about what’s happening behind the scenes — the community will appreciate that.
Roadmap updates announcement on our Discord server. Do not underestimate the value of having an experienced community management team capable of putting out fires and creating fun and informative events. For instance, live AMAs with project leads/founders are great for connecting with the community and addressing doubts.
If your NFTs come with voting rights, make sure to anticipate the agenda for future Town Halls — an occasion for the team to update NFT holders on where the project is at and vote on community matters.
Powder Heroes Town Hall on Discord. Starting from the day of the pre-sale, being present on Discord 24h around the clock is vital! The 2–3 days before and after the mint day are especially critical — our entire project team being split into groups to cover the night shifts during that period as well.
Take time for all of the above Building solid projects that deliver true value to buyers takes time.
Something we wish someone told us back when it all started is that the drop is just the beginning. It shouldn’t be viewed as a sprint, not even as a marathon, but rather as a process of creation. A long-term game.
It will take time to learn about and understand the NFT market and get your web3 tech infrastructure up and running smoothly. Nurturing strong relationships within your network is not something you can rush. Gathering a community and providing it with meaningful utility can’t be achieved overnight either, however impressive the growth hacks arsenal.
