What I see often is a contradiction.
Many crypto men say they want to secure a wife and build a family, but they spend most of their time in environments with very few women. Conferences, online spaces, trading rooms, male-heavy social circles. There simply aren’t enough real opportunities there to meet relationship-minded women.
At the same time, they’re highly career-focused and time-constrained. Dating feels inefficient, so they either postpone it indefinitely or engage casually with women they already know won’t lead anywhere.
That’s where the analogy fits:
Shitcoins are the women they spend time with but don’t intend to commit to.
Bitcoin is the woman they see as long-term, rare, and worth protecting and building with.
The issue isn’t lack of desire for commitment, it’s misaligned environments and incentives. You don’t find long-term value by hanging out only where short-term speculation happens.
Men who eventually succeed relationally are the ones who change their inputs: where they go, who they spend time with, and how intentionally they date not just how hard they work.
You noted the following, "I’ve attended multiple crypto conferences and have worked with men in this environment for years, so I understand the mindset, pace, and pressure that come with it."
What, in your opinion, is the crypto men mindset, exactly? Very curious on this one...
