A lot crypto people seem to think being first to build something entitles you to collect rent from everyone else who comes later.

People are only willing to pay rent if it gives access to attention / distribution / potential revenue.

I don’t feel entitled to rent but it does hurt when someone copies you explicitly without credit or permission

You either have copyright / patent or you don't.

You are unfortunately correct but I do think there has to be some sort of sense of ethics beyond winning or the world will fall into socialism and states become the only winners https://farcaster.xyz/mattlee/0x150559dd

Not saying it’s illegal it’s just lame

Is is possible to patent in crypto? Might be a dumb question but asking out of curiosity.

yes and open source spirit is to allow others to verify and to improve your code (both of them)
