It feels like community desire for topline growth above other things (retention) is just masked desire for exit liquidity Though that’s probably both true and untrue at the same time, conditional on who you're talking to, your definition of exit liquidity, etc. In any case, idk if there's any other industry where users have such a level of financial equity or proxy-equity in the products they use alongside proximity to founders/leaders. Makes for new and interesting dynamics.

Honestly that last couple sentences is a cop out on having an opinion

Yeah I think that’s net negative no matter how we try to rationalize it.

i think most things (as in, not exclusive to crypto) are looking for ‘exit liq’ tbh but it’s obvious in crypto culture as it’s hyperbolic in nature but where one person exits, another person joins and the goal posts move accordingly think the last point you mention is the most important aspect for me - the movement from corp wage slave to self-employed has been trending for a while, work-life balance etc. and having such close proxy-equity is a huge catalyst imo and i still see it as playing a huge part in a paradigm shift for how we monetise work and value

an interesting parallel, but there was a tweet a bit back pointing out how fans of artists and movies talk about rankings, box office numbers, listens way more than before the fan-stakeholder persona seems to be popping up in other places too and obviously in crypto it’s further enabled by the incentives

true, but there are different forms of growth. when growth can occur from pure speculation, it's def a pvp environment. if growth is "real" (let's say, there's actual revenue being generated), then exiting prob shouldn't be so stigmatized
