Rant loading... ✍️ I'll be honest, it's sad to see all the hate the top founders get - specifically those from the the 2021 era... If it wasn't for founders like: @burnttoast, @Zagabond, @CryptoGarga, and @LucaNetz 95% of us wouldn't be here. and no, 99.99% of you who like to think you'd take that "higher road" would have walked away long before they ever did. That's also assuming you'd have the ability to create anything close to what they along with their incredible teams have accomplished. except they didn't leave. they're still here. These are the guys who have been pioneering a space that changes faster than any other industry (potentially only outdone by ai). There's no guaranteed roadmap to success in this space. Which means a lot of failures, a lot of pivots, a lot of trial and error. A lot of change. All while trying to build things that take serious time. Have they made mistakes? Yes. Just like you and I in our places of work and industries. Fortunately for you and I, we don't answer to 5,000 people who spend half their days analyzing your every move in real time. Oh you want to step away for a break so you don't get blasted? Sorry... not allowed, if you do, you'll just come back to an angry mob. and btw, when these "community members" get bitter, they stay bitter. They could just peacefully move on, but many prefer the road of chumming with others who also are bitter. And together they like to throw direct or sarcastic insults around as if it benefits anyone. But rest assured, they say they care, so that's why they have given themselves the right to throw verbal trash at you. Many of us have lost money in NFT's. Sure I get it. You're not the only one. I've round tripped hundreds of thousands of dollars all while living in a small 600 sq ft home with 3 kids. That's on me. But God knows my family's needs and even in painful misplays I've learned valuable lessons money, about greed, about giving. But many also had their lives changed for the good. In markets, as many win, means just as many lose. Those are our own decisions. And That's part of the game we know as markets. @burnttoast alluded to those 2021 days very well in a recent podcast when he said as founders they were like child-stars trying to chase after that next high. No one knew back then what they signed up for, and no one knew how crazy things would get. The pressure that the NFT bubble and markets put on these founders on a personal level s beyond what we could imagine. For that reason I have empathy on a human to human level. ...
