It’s always a challenge to balance the “purist” approach with the practical realities. I imagine a Venn diagram, a small set of actions that allow us to be completely true to both.

if it doesn't pay the bills it isn't even considered, but with fiat a lot of that is just directing the flood of liquidity and not about actually meeting a market need

I would consider it more of an overton window.

I think there may be too much overlap with "practical realities" and cop out. Not in all cases, I guess it depends why were here.

This is why I see it as a Venn diagram. Super easy to meet one requirement without the other:

cypherpunk but no PMF

or

PMF but not cypherpunk

The challenge is to achieve both at the same time.

I think I can agree
