5 years in crypto and some of my closest friends are the people i met here
i do think this industry makes it easy to mistake being in the same trade/circle/company for friendship tho
real friendships usually become obvious once those things change
and if the friendship disappears the second the bags stop matching, it was prolly just bag alignment
unfortunately there are no friends in crypto. you are friends with whoever you're currently in a trade with, at similar size levels
if you want to keep your friends make sure to ape the same things as them, they will stab you in the back in a hearbeat over bag tribalism
