we were not the right team for Web3

I commend you on your foresight for this decision.

I do think most web3 founders are newbies, but somehow you need to be very passionate about the space...

Yeah a combination of people constantly posting hate on Web3, the need to spend a lot of time keeping on top of a stupidly fast sector, and the users demanding you move fast for maximum ROI while also demanding perfect security is just a lot to deal with mentally. I quit Web3 earlier this year.

People would stop hating it if useful applications using web3 technology would appear. So far it's all just speculation, get-rich-quick-scheme based stuff or stuff that works without web3 technology.

Wouldn't "deluded" instead of "passionate" still fit more?

Calling someone "web3 founder" is as weird to me as calling someone "sql founder". I am still waiting for someone to show me the killer app everyone uses, or provides any other value besides speculation and how it requires or just works better with "web3 tech".

Yup it requires an unwavering belief, not just a 'spark of curiosity' x opportunistic, which was our case.
