11/ I said it 7 months ago and I'll say it again: We're building an open, permissionless world. This will take decades, not years. If you're feeling dejected, close the computer, zoom out, go for a walk. Just don't give up 💜

For crypto professionals, the 2nd year of the bear market tends to be the most painful one. It’s the year of apathy. There seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. But simply being aware of this gives you a massive edge. Year 3 things will get much better.

9/ If you're feeling dejected right now, that's okay! I'm on dozens of calls every week. Trust me, everyone is feeling it right now. You just need to find a way to survive, build value, and power through. Things will get worse before they get better but we're in this together.

8/ And if you don't believe me, think in terms of regret minimization. How will you feel when the next bull market comes and you've gone back to your TradFi or SaaS job. Many talented people left during the last bear market. Those who stayed were rewarded.

7/ I'm here to remind you that this is worth it. Anyone who has been through it before will tell you... it's so incredibly worth it. I can assure you, there's no better feeling than seeing everything you built in a bear market pay dividends in the bull.

6/ In bull markets you can be productive on a Tuesday and see the outcome of your efforts by Wednesday. In bear markets you won't see the outcome of your efforts for another 12+ months. It's fking draining! But bear markets don't test talent – they test perseverance.

5/ This is the toughest part of the bear market. This will be the year you work long days and ship great products only to see your key metrics go down day after day. Your friends will leave. Your coworkers will leave. You'll question every assumption you had about crypto.

4/ We're now out of Stage 2 and into Stage 3. Welcome to Bottomless Exhaustion There will be no narratives. Prices will consolidate sideways. It'll be boring. Where we're at now, anger has been replaced by silence. From max pain to max exhaustion, your enemy is now apathy.

3/ Stage 2 was Forced Capitulation This is where it got ugly. Narratives died. Prices fell 90%... then another 90%. Layoffs across the board. Mainstream media rose up, laughed, and shouted "I told you!" In Stage 2, prices crashed violently. Excitement was replaced by anger.

2/ As a reminder, Stage 1 was The Unwind The excitement (+ greed) from the bull still existed. Narratives popped up. Valuations got cut but companies didn't kill products or do layoffs. Stage 1 didn't feel like a bear... it felt like we pulled back to "realistic" valuations.

Coffee companies raising $100 million and hiring devs from Palantir and Tesla was peak VC mania

Cometeer raised more than $100 million for its flash-frozen coffee pods, popular with VCs and the tech twitter set. But after multiple rounds of layoffs, high executive turnover and a quiet CEO switch, Cometeer's vision of disrupting coffee is melting. forbes.com/sites/alexkonr

Macro people are all-time bearish right now. But we have the presidential cycle, subsiding inflation, and the Chinese economy reopening. Feels bullish to me.
