I used to wonder this a lot as well. It struck me as odd that a crowd of people with whom I'd often share a lot of the same values and beliefs, would be pretty much point blank against a whole industry that I've been so heavily involved with for many years. On a few occasions, it even shook my confidence and made me wonder if I'm doing the right thing. If so many smart people are against crypto, am I the crazy one?

I have since learned to live with it. In the same way that I live with the fact that crypto is full of grifters, I've learned to live with the fact that majority of the world has a very narrow view of what the space is about. The only thing that I find unfortunate now-a-days is how quick people are to turn towards radical thoughts and approaches, without even considering that they might not know what they are talking about.
