Even though there is valid criticism + important conversations to have right now, I still really like Ethereum & ETH culture

my main value add as an investor is I have good telegram sticker packs and can make you laugh in the group chat, that's kind of it tbh

the best trader I know made two trades this cycle: long SOL from the FTX crash, then full port that into HYPE on the token launch (sold low $20s) good note to self that the best plays are simple... this person went ~100x and still had a life for 3 years

people will call what you do cringe & then never try to create/write/make anything themselves it's always easier to be a critic but over time that just drains your soul & I'd rather at least show up for life and try stuff even if it doesn't land long optimism / short cynicism

"just buy Bitcoin" really is such a powerful meme it hits harder over time too after losing money in endless different ways + watching all the chaos that goes on in crypto
