Motivation is not completely useless depending on who it is coming from, and also if it is bogus or maybe reasonable and somehow realistic.
For example I'll never take motivation that's never plausible because I know it doesn't hold any realistic grounds.
However when motivation can be provable and real, I try as much as possible to take it seriously.
If it's not relatable, don't take it.
Hive
I read a post today on Hive, this person was talking about the realistic situation we currently have on Hive today, and the price of Hive, and how some people seems to be losing faith.
He mentioned the positive things going for us even though we've been struggling really hard, and somehow everything he said resonated with me.
He mentioned the realistic price point of Hive, and the advantages of putting in faith and time when everyone else isn't paying attention and somehow I tend to agree with him.
Zoom in and out
Is post was majorly motivational and the little bit of realism, he didn't exactly ignore the main issues and go about to say Hive is perfect and all that nonsense, and that's why I buy into some of the things he said on the post.
Motivational content that are realistic helps you to see the possibility of good even when the situations are not looking as good as you want it to be. It's not all kumbaya.
For what it's worth even if it's hard to be hopeful for Hive, I still think Hive is going to excel.
The witnesses are probably going to wake up one day and fix us, at left I know they should. I remember when the chain was on the brink of that crazy takeover and blocktrades and the rest did something.
I can't exactly predict if they still have that drive or if they've lost it. But I think for personal and sentimental reasons (which is basically what drives a lot of us) I think they still have it.
Perhaps they'll probably act when we're on the brink of losing it all, but do believe things will just better even though we might still have a few months of plunging deep into some dangerous price levels but after that time, it's going to be up from there.
This is just me trying to look at the bright side of things. The broader alt market looks bad. Someone once told me that it might be over for the other side of the market, but I don't think this is true.
It's not over
The market's outlook might be looking only favourable for BTC, but BTC isn't that only crypto tech or innovation that can push the crypto narrative to the wider audience out there.
People need usability, RWA, DEFI, decentralized, privacy, safety and many other crypto narrative that can quickly onboard anyone, but I guess it's currently looking bad because most people just wants to secure their capital and the wider audience have been scammed by recent pump and dump like $TRUMP.
People need to have faith in usable crypto protocols again,and that's how the onboarding can continue, but then let's see how it goes. The realistic motivation is that the market and tech is good, and it can only better.
This is not to say things can't go wrong, sentiments and narrative still pushes prices or determines outlook, but the project will survive and that's the most important thing: survive enough until the sentiment is good, and keep shipping cool stuff that will push people to stay.
