I think that crypto and tech people are often more pleasant to talk to than average because they have an abundance mindset. There’s a basic cultural expectation that things are going to get better, maybe infinitely better, and they’re “building” and “early.” These are things that make one feel a sense of positive anticipation for the future and it reflects in an upbeat culture. I’d say that this is not the case for media or politics people, and they have a far darker worldview and more negative attitude. They’re not really planning or expecting an abundant future because their industry isn’t growth-based. Because their daily jobs are also often focused on analyzing the bad parts of the world they have far more of a poverty mindset that can lead towards depressive thinking and outlook. When these two worlds clash it can produce very hilarious misunderstandings and cultural missed connections. I actually think the ideal is to blend tech-based abundance with critical analysis.

Solid assertion and conclusion. Also implies that your form of journalism is what will save the Fourth Estate by merging with the Fifth Estate instead of resisting and demonizing it.
