Some of us are over the top irrationally hypersensitive about "not selling out" and "staying true to ourselves" and all that other nonsense XD
But I would hope that those of us doing that would know better than to whine about it because you kind of have to "sell out" (aka adjust to an audience) if you want more than mediocre results as only some people are gifted enough to be able to attract attention doing purely what they are doing because that's what they do and it's probably safer to assume that we don't actually have that talent XD
I have this issue for sure in terms of actually selling HIVE :D But, I think it is because I don't want to seem like I am letting the community down. Ultimately, if I sell some, my goal is to buy more back - so I think I should bite the bullet and try.
Gifted or just lucky that what they like aligns with the times. I think a lot of it is where people happen to have interest that others are interested in. The gift comes in getting people interested in what they weren't that interested in before - like Hive! :D
Glad you're able to convince people on that front, most of the people I know don't understand crypto and don't want to or know that it's a scam or doesn't work so hard actively and aggressively refuse to believe that anything else could possibly be an option XD
