Sometimes I wish the ethos of Farcaster were way more connected to the reality of crypto, which in the USA is currently quite tumultuous and volatile, rather than always exhibiting the rah-rah happy go-lucky disposition of the founders / tech optimists that congregate here, which can be tiresome and disingenuous.

I’m skeptical anyone can objectively assess the reality of crypto, or anything really that has global reach. 
I think I can understand your annoyance that perception here doesn’t match your perception of reality but don’t think the answer is we need more pessimism

I never claimed pessimism was the answer. I also reject the notion that realism is impossible or not worth striving for, while optimism and pessimism are.

Ahhh you’re right- you def didn’t say we should be pessimistic. I jumped there, sorry. 

I think we should seek truth. Realism vs perception I have mixed thoughts on though.

Optimism is way more useful than realism or pessimism.
