I see the block chain as already successful.
I do too as it has achieved both social and technological advancements in ways that haven't really been seen before. A decentralized community building an ecosystem together in a trustless environment is pretty cool.
I think being over negative or seeing only the negative side all the time has a much higher burn out than those that while they can see the negative, they prefer to focus on the positive, have less of a burn out issue.
The official burnout personalities probably are testament to this, and the numbers are growing. I have noted in my IRL work, that negative people tend to be the only ones who burn out in the workplace. They also almost invariably do not consider their position their responsibility, it was always something else they had no control over.
Interesting about the mute, I am not sure how many I have muted, but it can't be many. Is there a place to check?
