The public discussion around scaling in the last few years has become poisoned and captured by an incredibly toxic and defeatist attitude: “Why bother?”
“Why bother trying to scale? Basic napkin math shows it’s impossible no matter what we do for everyone to self custody.”
“Why bother trying to scale? People are stupid and lazy anyway, even if we did people would just use a custodian anyways.”
“Why bother trying to scale? I’ve got mine, I’ll be rich enough for self custody, who cares about the stupid and lazy plebs anyways?”
This attitude is permeating the entire space more and more as time goes on, with a plethora of different rationalizations and reasons for it depending on who you talk to. It is a completely defeatist, dystopian, and pessimistic view of the future. I say that as someone who is incredibly pessimistic about a large number of issues that I see in this ecosystem.
Talking yourself into losing is one of the fastest ways to wind up losing.
