Ordinarily, when someone says good morning, I want to scream and end their life. Usually, I give a look that says this.
It's the kind of thing someone says on Monday, maybe a manager making small talk before dumping a bunch of stuff on you they don't want to deal with.
Too much makeup, amped up on caffeine and put off because I'm not stressed out enough.
Not a morning person. If I were, I wouldn't sully the birth of a pristine day with a pickup line.
Sycophantic, manipulative, condescending. Associated with a job no one wants, short on time, on life. Gallows humor, assertion of dominance.
Welcoming me to the morning? Why fuck you very much.
It was my first reaction when crypto-creatives and NFT enthusiasts post #GM on social media. They really want to say #GM to everyone for some reason.
It's different though.
Decentralization means the end of a top down hierarchy and rat race where everyone tries to climb over each other.
Poison financial products and inflationary fiat replaced by sound money and digital property rights.
Quit the agency job, stop being a middle manager squeezing people to meet shifting goalposts. Greasy salesmanship melts when there's a transparent ledger.
If you did quit that job, and are maybe working on NFTs or a DAPP, it really is a new landscape. Good morning heralds change, signifies hope.
Social app UHive states this new ethos with decentralization in something they call 'Five Laws of the Metaverse' (shown in the picture). Radically disruptive.
In Web3, GM really means GM.
