why are you onchain? for me it's the community and freedom here i got onchain in 2021 after I got dropped by my sponsor for not making the tokyo olympics the crazy thing is i actually jumped the standard to go but there was too much wind behind me so the jump was considered 'illegal' after getting dropped i decided to 'sponsor myself' through NFT's i drew and uploaded a collection to opensea one by one called afrochicks my collection sold out, i wore the nfts on my kit when competing and shouted out the owners i felt a crazy sense of belonging and i stopped feeling as though i wasn't good enough cos i am unsponsored and not an olympian (yet) i have stuck around because here i have true support and freedom to post whatever i want i've also noticed people here have more belief in others which is nice and makes me believe in myself more the onchain community has literally changed the trajectory of my athletics career i 100% would have quit in 2021 if i didn't discover it :)

Love this story I think that’s what’s nice about being in a frontier community — you have to believe in ideas and be optimistic by default. Otherwise you wouldn’t be here

thankyou! yeah i agree, its funny the best athletes have almost a ‘delusional’ sense of self belief and I’ve seen it pay off time and time again this space has a similar mindset i like it

We are delusional, that’s for sure 😆 Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose?

I love this! I've noticed some of the best athletes have that "almost delusional sense of self belief" that you mention, but that for some it comes hand-in-hand with a sense of "I'm not good enough and have to outwork everyone else if I want to win". Does this match your experience/observations?
