Top VCs have long said that the 2 most important elements of a good, investable founder are:
(1) Formidable - “a person is one who seems like they'll get what they want, regardless of whatever obstacles are in the way”
(2) Earnest - “Interest in the problem for its own sake”, not just for money
More I see, more I see how they’re right
Consider how this applies in crypto

Formidable - “person is one who seems like they'll get what they want, regardless of whatever obstacles are in the way”
What does the opposite of that look like in crypto?
Social pressure sensitivity — Those who break down under the slightest negative social pressure, of people saying they hate you or your industry
Crypto as a whole is widely derided by many
Legal threat sensitivity — Those who break down under the slightest legal threats
Imagine if everyone in crypto broke down every time some regulator or whoever made a legal threat. Whole crypto industry never would’ve came into existence in the first place. And indeed even in classic regular startups, no startups ever get big without receiving all kinds of serious legal threats.
Etc.
Goes a long way in explaining why there are so few women crypto project leaders as well, or why those who do create something, instantly run away upon the first sign of any negativity toward them.
Femininity often undermining formidability, with rare exception
“Be a man,” not so sensitive to letting such obstacles get in the way, or else you’ll bring down everything else with you
Formidability, think about how this applies in crypto

Is drug use, e.g. alcohol, associated with lower testosterone or higher testosterone?
Quick look at the papers shows…
— Incredible conflict
Plenty of papers reporting negative association of some kind between alcohol and testosterone
While many others reporting a positive association
