Winter in April:
Most people experience winter between the months of November to February. Yet, as crypto winter continues into April, it has given me a chance to reflect on the parallels between the digital and physical worlds.
1. Simplicity:
As snow blankets the land, it strips the environment back to its essence. It hides unnecessary details, mutes the noise and turns the world monochrome. What remains are the vast contours of the landscape and the larger patterns that were always there, waiting to be seen.
Crypto winter can bring that same clarity. As charts crumble, it becomes easier to see which technologies are truly transformational; which ideas have lasting memetic power; what products deliver enduring value to users and who is here for the cycle versus for the journey. This calm gives us a chance to reflect and to reimagine the summer.
2. Winter Activities:
Summer is for outward activity — beach parties, trips, and outdoor sports. Winter allows us to turn inward. We gather around fireplaces, share war stories, and plan for the year ahead. Crypto winter follows the same pattern. As the external spectacle fades, attention shifts inward: deepening relationships, rethinking strategy, and investing in what comes next.
Winter is just a reflection of the summer. One shapes the other. It should not be feared — it is part of a cycle, like day and night. More importantly, winter is not the end, but a new beginning.
Those who build through winters, define summers.
@realGeorgeHotz Late to the party, but also hellbanning.
Shadowban + employ bots to disagree + negative feed to disincentivize participation → User leaves, thinking it was their idea.
It's a soft \kick.
Imo this is all disgusting. But it's so damn interesting.
