Why are Farcaster builders so optimistic when X, Y, and Z bad things exist? My brother, bad is the default. It’s entropy. Failure is the most likely outcome when building something new. If you’re not a definite optimist, you’ve got no chance in making it happen. Even if you’re a rational person, you have to be willing to suspend belief just enough to make the bet despite all the bad. And then it’s just week of week progress and try not to die (mostly figuratively). For years.

Crypto founders community is generally very optimistic You have to, if you decide to bet your career on building an alternative to Big Finance and Big Tech. I often forget about it until I speak with my non-crypto founders friends who work on some boring B2B SaaS because "there's no way to compete with Big Tech".

I love how counter-culture/punk it is now to be an optimist. The bad boy Ricky from across the street that your daughter has a crush on is a techno-optimist and defi founder because pessimism and cynicism is the status quo. đŸ€˜
