It's tough to rally people around something intangible when financial survival often takes priority. The challenge lies in creating tools that not only enhance freedom but also demonstrate a tangible return—whether that's financial, time-saving, or community-building. A better world is the vision,...

its very unsustainable for most ppl, I know more than a few who left bitcoin space cuz their lives just required bigger and more steadier income

Haha are you hiring?! 🙃

The enslavement tools make more money

Because they are beta sheep! 🐑baaa🐑baaa🐑baaa🐑

I tried to start months ago, but for me, there is a lack of documentation and unfinished libraries.

I think this has to do with religion and dedication. You see a different path to the Greater Good than other people.

The next JavaScript framework, the 1371th text editor, the 457th half-baked Linux distro, they all scream lack of imagination ...

I wish if I coukd code as good ;(

bc we need to support more ppl that are working in this space, it’ll come with more adoption and interest, little by little 🧱

Hardly any money in the space, and the money in it is spread very thin and narrow. If you can build here, you can also build someplace more lucrative, so you have to be a real fanatic to hold out for long. And to grow the projects, you need to get an entire team of fanatics together. Which I've man...

how long can you work on ZERO income before you can't pay the bills?
