hi ladies & gents, this is your reminder to believe in something.

i've had it with the pessimism in crypto. yes, there's a scammy project at a stone's throw, at all times. but there's also high integrity builders, chewing glass, building beautiful things, at every turn, at all times.

my biggest takeaway is to not project on directionally right builders. i build with very different constraints, which vary from people to people. if someone's directionally correct, always inspire them to build that moonshot. the meta doesn't matter. the cycle doesn't matter.

gotta be a cockroach that survives all the red and green. keeps grinding at it. it's not easy by any measure, but it's fun. it's specially fun if you're sadistic. it's even more fun if you can find the joy in it, which you absolutely should spend conscious energy to do.
