It misses the entire point of crypto. It's for entrepreneurs who have been shunned by traditional investors; who have been locked out of the mainstream funding monolith.
Big investors and VCs consistently refused to fund my startup, they refuse to talk to me. I'm nothing to them. I don't have access to that funding like some other people have. Maybe I've been blacklisted for no reason. Either way, given my excellent publicly-proven track record, I deserve an opportunity to compete in the free market just like you do.
You don't seem to understand the adversity some people are facing and how unjust and broken the system is fundamentally. It's physically impossible for me to raise funding from traditional VCs and angel investors for reasons that are both unknown to me and outside of my control. My few interactions with investors are downright weird now. It's like the whole system has conclusively locked me out and then gaslights me about it 24/7. Crypto and regular investors are my only chance.
Until you've been in this position, you can't understand. You're missing a critical piece of experience.
Now when I hear about the 'unbanked' in Africa, I hear it very differently. I can at least start to wrap my head around the incredible hardship it represents. In my case I'm not unbanked but I'm 'uninvested'; it's just one class above.
- cycrutchfield 4y agoWhat exactly is unjust about people not wanting to give you their money?

- jongjong 4y agoI did, but it's not sustainable. Typically, I'm good for 6 months and then I rage quit because I can't take anymore. My record staying at one company is almost 2 years. I'm just not compatible with modern bullshit jobs funded by infinite government money printing.
