I’m still feeling cautiously optimistic, but you’re right… Lately, the signal-to-noise ratio has definitely worsened. Plenty of bad actors (and worse shitcoins) out there, which makes the work harder.
Recently, I’ve had a couple folks from my stock-picking group ask me about buying BTC. Both are financially savvy first-time buyers who I believe will “get it” with time. Small but encouraging signs of progress!
