Um, I'm saying just the founder of Uniswap got rich. I think you'll find that the founders of traditional exchanges, banks, and other businesses in legacy finance also tend to get quite rich. They also provide essential services to the rest of us.
(And Hacker News is a forum run by ycombinator, whose whole point is the founding of new companies, with the goal of making a few people rich and, hopefully, providing valuable services to lots more people.)
- spopejoy 4y agoI don't know how Uniswap founders got rich before UNI, as all the fees went straight to liquidity providers. UNI probably did get them rich through the usual insider-y mechanisms, but as I recall they were almost forced into it by SUSHI and friends. I found it a little sad as before it looked 100% trustless/0% insider-rewarding.
