People will always show you their true colors - you just need to observe.

This applies to everyone: partners, friends, enemies... even cryptocurrency founders.

The signs are always there. We just tend to ignore them.

Why? Because humans are inherently full of hope. We project our intentions onto others, assuming they view the world through the same lens of honesty or loyalty as we do.

Pattern recognition is not difficult - it is emotional attachment that blinds us. The more we want someone (or something) to be good, the more we rewrite existing data in our minds.

So if you want to save yourself years of wasted energy and heartache: start accepting the true faces that people have already shown you.
