I completely understand and have been there before. I try to focus on the long term impact of how Ethereum will fit into our increasingly digital and divided society. This technology allows us to own and freely build digital assets. Historically increased ownership has correlated with more innovation and reduced poverty. And in the time period we're about to enter, where the whole world is divided, Ethereum will have an important role to play by allowing everyone in the world to play by the same verifiable rules Even today crypto is helping people, although it's not a sexy topic for us rich westerners. People in countries without stable currencies are using crypto to maintain their wealth and it's enabling people in unstable nations to accept payments globally for remote work or remittances I also think about this Vitalik cast a lot. The future I described earlier is not guaranteed and it takes people actively championing Ethereum's values to make it happen

Not sure if this will help, but in my mind crypto is a tool. Like any other tool, if you focus on the tool itself, instead of the application of the tool, it's easy to lose sight of what you're trying to do
