1. What is WAGMI, FUD, gm, wen wen?
2. Comparison to ‘someone must lose’ mentality
   1. Old markets (traditional finance - stock managers, hedge funds, etc) focus/reward beating others, even if it means a negative outcome for all parties. Being first is more important than the market winning. 
   2. WAGMI mentality is widespread in crypto because it’s seen as those in crypto are winning vs trad-fi. Entire market has suffered bear losses where gloating of winning still is pointless
3. Risks of ‘someone must lose’ mentality
   1. Crypto and NFTs are risky and volatile, losing is inevitable given the right timeframe and holdings
   2. Bigger risk of losing out on next moonshot by not getting word of new projects/news/etc
   3. End outcome will always result in losing
