What's wrong with you? \ stacker news ~meta

Not true. I am about to go into rehab for a crippling addiction. I'm taking stock of what behaviour and underlying issues I have. I am not in a good place.

It’s easy to overthink things in therapy. Life’s a bitch then you die. Nothing is black and white and there aren’t any free lunches. Good luck

We all have issues with authority because the current authorities are tyrant maniacs

You must be confused. It’s not the current authority, it’s all authority.

There have been fair, non-tyrannical authorities in the past.

You might want to revisit inspection of that thought. No matter how nice your jailers are to you if they stick you in the cell they really aren't being all that nice.

The only type of authority I can see that isn't ultimately evil is parental. & even then it's just temporary and all teens rebel against it before the end.

I’m starting to get bitter… I’ve tried for over a year to be successful in web3. I’ve started projects, been part of communities, done code for free, donate lots of money to projects/giveaways/onboarding people and yet it seems scammers and rug pulls get all the attention and money and my wallet is nearly empty. I went full time web3 a year ago and I’ve lost nearly all my crypto.

Perhaps I’m not smart enough to be in this space..

Scammers get all the attention, because they figured out how to exploit social media to funnel tons of attention to themselves.

Perhaps I’m not smart enough to be in this space..

Avoiding scams is not a matter of intelligence; it's a matter of avoiding the places where the scammers go. In the case of web3/cryptocurrency scammers, those places are websites like Twitter and Reddit. Those scammers are true professionals, insofar as they know exactly what to do to get people to sign up for scams over-and-over again.

The only winning move is to avoid social media.

Sounds like you're at odds between the morality of scamming people (using crypto/web3) and providing useful service. That can happen whether or not you know that the thing your doing is scamming people.

Well, I would never scam anyone. Just not my M.O. I dont desire to be mega rich or have fast cars, big houses etc... enough to be comfy and work full time on my own projects would be enough.

I just cant see why people still fall for these scams or chose them over people really trying to do well in this space. I actually think Web3 is getting toxic.

Not an answer, this is not a helpful question. And one that I recently heard a lot in my own mind while I was severely deficient in vitamin B1 and idk what else. If you are dwelling on this side of things you are in retreat from life.
