Pessimists are often right, but only optimists can change the world.I've seen many people reposting that "I've wasted 8 years in crypto" post. I relate to it deeply, but I also feel it's a bit too pessimistic, so I'd like to add a few objective thoughts:
1) I also entered the space in 2017, which makes it exactly 8 years for me as well. Although the journey has had its ups and downs, I believe joining the crypto industry has been the greatest opportunity of my life. In terms of personal growth, wealth accumulation, resources, and networking, it has far surpassed my previous 10+ years of experience in the internet sector.
This is an absolute fact—my gratitude for crypto will always remain.
2) To be honest, from a purely experiential perspective, the crypto industry has become more mature over the past 8 years, but it has also gotten worse. The original pure cypherpunk spirit is gone, the holder faith is gone, the motivation for continuous learning and technological innovation is gone, and the persistent belief that crypto will change the internet is also gone.
