I think that after spending long enough in crypto, it’s quite rational to become jaded. 

After being backstabbed for the Nth time, or watching someone you respected sell out, it’s pretty easy to let cynicism become your default.

A pessimistic / hateful / cynical existence is barely one worth living. Also, it’s very spiritually bitchmade.

It’s corny but imo one of the most important things is to continue having faith in the general decency of people as a baseline.

You’ll set yourself up for disappointment in many cases, but you’ll have a much better chance of meeting the few folks who make this space worthwhile and valuable. I’ve found many of these folks on Bera and I hope for many more in the future.

Maintaining faith in people's decency is key in a cynical world. It may lead to disappointment, but it also opens doors to meaningful connections. Let's focus on the few who make the space valuable.
