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.

Andrew Yang made this type of divide incredibly clear during his primary run. Guy was ahead of his times.

This, along with the pay difference, is one of the main reasons I transitioned from working in media to working in tech. 420 $degen

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.

🔥 Have this one on the shelf but haven’t gotten around to it yet. It’s very very scientific. There may be an opportunity to condense this into a 150 page vacation-style book and white-pill the masses. Doomerism is tiring

It depends where in tech and crypto. Many crypto people have a zero-sum mindset. For instance I think ETH maxis are typically more abundance-minded than BTC maxis. /daos are a great place to meet positive-sum people as well

I was partly thinking of this, when the "Farcaster Personality" frame dropped a couple of days ago: The AI came to the conclusion many people here are in their 20s-30s, while some of us are in our 50s. I think you are describing young vs old. Youth has the privilege of unlimited time to succeed, naivety and dreams. Old age comes with experience, cynicism, fewer options, limited time. Tech and especially crypto is young, politics and journalism are centuries old.

not sure if thats generally true across crypto - CT tends to have a more pessimistic world view "everything is a casino". FC does tend to have a more optimistic outlook though, due largely in part to optimism / superchain culture which permeates the network "lets build together"

Yeah generally tech folks are trying to solve problems and media folks are focused on describing problems / assigning blame.

Solid assertion and conclusion. Also implies that your form of journalism is what will save the Fourth Estate by merging with the Fifth Estate instead of resisting and demonizing it.

With crypto people with experience in the market, they've already survived bear markets, FUD, and other negativity. They know they've survived and in the long term, everything's going to be alright.
