After nearly a decade building in crypto, I understand how easy it is to feel the pull of cynicism
The voices saying "no use cases" or "no real users" get louder over time
The belief that everyone is here to extract, speculate, or gamble starts to feel undeniable
It’s a gravitational force dragging builders toward resignation
Yes, crypto is full of grifters, scammers, & opportunists
But reducing it all to speculation is just quitting disguised as critique
Crypto’s roots matter: self-sovereignty, freedom, control over money, data, & identity
These ideas aren’t optional, they’re essential
Finding real PMF is hard, but giving up is easy
Progress takes time
If you’re tired, jaded, questioning why you’re still here
Remember why you started
The vision is alive
The mission still matters
The future of crypto is bright
