Had a private convo with a longtime crypto analyst. He didn’t ask about markets. He asked if any of this ever mattered. “I’m not excited about anything,” he said. “DAOs are dead. NFTs are dead. Consensus just follows liquidity and longs memes. But no one actually believes in what they’re holding.” Then, he asked me point blank: “What am I doing with my life? Has it all been a mirage?” I’ve been thinking about the conversation ever since. Here are some of those raw and chaotic thoughts: 🧵👇

1. Most of us are asking ourselves the same question (even if we won’t say it out loud). 2. This isn’t just crypto. This unease… this loss of conviction… this quiet panic, it’s everywhere. 3.

That makes it harder to model tomorrow, which muddies our beliefs. It makes us QUESTION EVERYTHING.

Very good thread. This line in particular resonates with me " But this is the game: only those who stick around matter in the end."

Absolute banger of a cast as always. Resonates so much with myself! Attention seems fleeting. I search for something new to do but got to say I have not moved my ETH in over a year from one protocol. It used to be like this for BTC.. there is hardly anything that excites me here anymore. FC has been a breath of fresh air especially miniapps.. But got to be honest that it will also fade! However hopeful that will be still around ' to read these bangers!
