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.
