Citrea doesn't pay me.
I pay Citrea.
Discussion
You literally invested in the company. If you did that without expectation of returns I have no words. But you know you didn’t. Ergo it is reasonable to assume that your interest in Citrea’s success ( and your future reward for that success ) might possibly color your view of this matter. There is no doubt that Citrea would benefit from a more open protocol. So let’s be honest in that in fact Citrea might have a part in your motives.
So saying “Citrea doesn’t pay me” while technically correct doesn’t even come close to telling the full story.
I have no expectation of returns.
I expect almost every startup in which l invest will fail.
I treat angel investments like donations, because even if they don't go to zero, I most likely would be better off financially by holding on to the bitcoin.
I could use an 😇 to fund drilling a well on my land for my family.
I can do all the rest, I just can't afford the well.
