Founders

underestimate culture and vibes at your absolute peril. 

blockchains very much are brands. 

back in the 60s Robert Irwin was frustrated that all the good artists would move from California to New York and a famous dealer told him that no matter your stature, a painting that would sell in 1 day in NY might take weeks or months to sell in LA. 

if you disagree and think blockchains are just invisible tech try launching yr consumer crypto product on IOTA or Stellar and see how far you get.

I feel like you guys are saying the same thing. One is talking about the how and the other the what.

It’s the dark valley before the rise. Tough time for any founder. No matter how experienced. It’s only inevitable in hindsight. It’s what makes the journey so worthwhile.

I think it’s the same frustration of “all this positivity and energy in the feed but all my charts look like hot garbage.”

Everyone is suffering. It’s a fucking recession. Tech nerds need to get their head out of their ass. The people are hurting. All charts are going to look like shit. Getting away from online is good for mental health. Needed when you’re struggling at the grocery store. (Solana is “succeeding” because it’s a casino where people can dream of escaping the grind, while they provide exit liquidity to shitty VCs.)

But it won’t stay like this. The sun will come out. We will proceed higher. In the meantime celebrate the small wins and enjoy the journey.

Poetic, but this post clearly touched a nerve in a way that was surprising.
