a lot of the sentiment in crypto is caused by focusing exclusively on outputs rather than inputs
this makes sense as most participants are traders, and traders focus on outputs (chart, price)
but you have no control over outputs, only inputs
and from an ingredient/construction POV, the inputs are as high quality as I've seen so far
sol was an obvious example of high quality inputs in 2021 (and still is), zcash is another (though it took a while for people to take notice)
I have full conviction we're going to see crypto only get more important and widespread from here
but you must watch the future, not the present, or you'll miss out
