> The entire piece is reiterating stereotypical VC twitter content but the most obvious point is that very few optimists make money. Most optimists will lose money. That raises interesting question: how many of these condemnations of "pessimism" are by salesmen (like VCs) who want their jobs to be easier (or their lackeys)? It's easier to sell to an optimist than a pessimist, because an optimist literally buys your pitch. For instance, the VCs don't want "pessimists" criticizing "web3" and undermining their pitch, they want optimists to pour their money and effort into it (and their pockets).
