Founders

counterpoint

if you're a founder thinking of quitting crypto and moving to AI because things are hard right now

do it

you didn't love the game enough anyways

ive been here since $10 btc and im sick of it, if i don't "love it enough" then the bar is too high, ngmi

Full-stack digital product consultant @ BoundCorp.net - eng @daylight

$10 btc (2012) was pre gox, industry hadn't even seen a single fraud yet

im not leaving yet but ive thought about it, the vibes are in shambles and public opinion is somewhere between "self mutilation" and "adolf hitler". made a lot of great friends, but met 10x more dickheads.

there are some very few wins that i love a lot (defi, stables, ENS) but any honest accounting of it has to acknowledge that for every tiny win, there's been a dozen meteoric turds, we've very possibly caused more harm than good at this point.

you really wanna try to ostracize anyone questioning it? you gonna pretend there hasn't been widespread Badness that at least rivals any Goodness we've accomplished?

that's your prerogative, king, but that kind of "love it or GTFO" hopium is one of my chief turnoffs here. we have too much leadership whitewashing the history and gaslighting any dissent. i truly can't imagine a worse signal than a "bulls only, bears unwelcome" purity test in an industry that's supposed to understand markets.

you're more bearish now than at $10 BTC? I've been here since November 2013 and love it more than ever
