The intersection of ideological and degen is a powerful combination for builders. Holding your wealth in permissionless cryptographic databases requires elevated blood degen levels no matter how idealistic you are. Too much ideology and you end up never building anything with practical utility. Too much degen and you end up in the solano/pump mindslop. Fwiw I think the best place at the intersection is somewhere just inside the ideological strip. Enough so that you live among idealists, but close enough to the intersection where you can still see the bright lights and billboards of the degens.
