You may recall the early days when pink unicorns and furries came to meet their people, bouncing around on cold brew, brainstorming new use cases and products by day. By night, they raved in old, abandoned churches, riding the high of their imaginary meme coin supply. Hey, the price went up. 

Those were the days, and it sure felt like it lasted for years.

We always miss those early, carefree years. Yet, you felt it coming and prepared on time at those weird navy seals nerd bootcamps. War Rooms were they called, right?
