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.

In general yes, but it certainly didn't feel like that in the dark days following the COVID crash, and you'd get a vastly different perspective popping into some of the discord severs of once popular NFT projects. Here is different i think because the people that find their way here are different.

Yeah not fun times really. Never invest what you can't afford to lose is advice often not heeded by the ones that have the most to lose. I wanted to write something about a sense of entitlement contributing to a positive outlook for those that feel like they deserve something for being early, as though they've put work in to be here and need to be renumerated (usually those that deserve it the least) but I'm not sure it fits the discussion correctly.
