At some point during this cycle those from the class of 17 and the class of 21 got completely disconnected to the class of this cycle:

We had already made some money.

We had already made our wins.

We forgot what it was like to turn $100 to $1000.

It was cringe to write about how the small guy can utilise crypto to change their life circumstances.

We forgot that making 5 figures is genuinely life changing.

We ignored the constant 4 and 5 figure opportunities crypto was offering in the hunt to 2/3x our portfolio.

If we focused on educating people on these opportunities that continuously arrive in crypto then we wouldn’t feel alienated from the new audience of people that we want in crypto.

The meme guys sold them the dream that this was possible through pump fun coins.

Thats why they all fell into the trap of instant gratification.

In reality there has been a tonne of opportunities to make money from airdrops in crypto from protocols.

We should embrace learning and experimenting again with the incentive of making money from it.

If there’s no carrot dangling in front of people, there’s no reason for them to dive any deeper into crypto than just the “trenches”.
