Sometimes this industry feels like a variant of The Dark Knight quote:

“You either die a builder, or you live long enough to see yourself become the scammer”

Whether you want to admit it or not, the crypto industry has mostly been a vehicle for dishonorable behavior

Your options after internalizing this are:
- capitulate to dishonorable behavior
- leave the industry 
- keep the faith that one day this will change 
- cognitive dissonance

I vacillate between #3 and #4

5 - yes and its good actually. the wild west of crypto follows a power law -- the longer the tail, the taller the 1% peak of incredible  world-changing products. replace "crypto" with "finance" and its the same.

this is what permissionless creativity looks like
