For the March edition of this newsletter, I wanted to acknowledge how hard Q1 2023 had been for all of us.
We often put on a brave face and say, "I'm doing fantastic," "business is booming," "I am so busy," and so on. However, I'd like to pause for a moment and agree to disagree. I want us all to recognize how difficult it can be to work in Web3 and acknowledge the effort and fatigue we all feel at times.
So, here we go:
- To those dealing with health issues, I see you
- To those suffering from mental illness, I see you
- To those running out of funds, I see you
- To those who have been let go, I see you
- To those not recognized at your true value, I see you
- To those suffering from discrimination, I see you
- To those feeling the loneliness of remote work, I see you
- To those unable to deal with the bullshit, I see you
- To those who don't see the point of all this, I see you
- To those who have been scammed, I see you
- To those done with Twitter hell, I see you
- To those giving up on Web3, I see you
- To those carrying on, I admire you
The entire Web3 ecosystem needs a reset, a rebirth, and a rethinking to move forward and justify all the love, tears, and energy we've invested in building and developing it.
