โEven a billion dollars of capital cannot compete with a project having a soulโ
a lot of crypto "has a comms problem" for frequent lapses of integrity, often reinforced with forms of exclusion and dilution, to which there is no method of comms, not even flowery walls of text, that will reset projects to having an unimpeachable reputation, accreting public funds by default.
zeal is a powerful abstract because it motivates beyond personal limits, reaching for the preternatural spirit of networks, and procyclical spaces should embrace this at any cost, even checking well-known protocols as they jeopardize the common goodwill.
otherwise, the ecosystem is reduced to goblin town, determined by what each interest can extract, waiting for the other shoe to drop in one famine after the next.
