Founders

There have been many setbacks and dark moments. 

One that stands out is when 0x protocol was forked by our largest integrator. They took all of their liquidity and users with them, launched a token, and we were powerless. 

Ultimately it was a lesson that we must control our own destiny.

Being a founder means signing up for the inevitable dark moments in the journey

You can try to avoid them, but it's part and parcel of the experience -- best bet is to experience them fully, integrate them, and come out on the other side with some well-earned wisdom

One of the contributors to dark moments is also seeing the fact when a founder is putting hours every day but results are not clear yet. Gives existential crisis, because in traditional work, more hours -> more income. But in startups, this is much longer in time horizon
