I remember all the talk about sustainable businesses during SEC-01, about a year and a half ago.
Meanwhile, zero businesses and the two businesses that were present and served as "north stars" are both gone.
That's a lot of walking and talking, for very little walking the talk.
VC/PE in a nutshell.
Full disclosure: I used to work for investment banks (as a techie; not front office, M&A, or anything fancy but close enough to interact with VC and PE folks). I still get a personal laugh out of all the finance bro memes here on nostr, especially when folks end up parodying the very finance culture they mock.
Add some laser eyes and a (a conveniently curated to allow him to profit from fiat) cypherpunk persona to the finance bro in a jumper meme, and you get the stereotypical Nostr VC-backed crypto bro.
The difference is mainly that some people in traditional finance are actually making money out of it.
