I'm not sure funding is the issue??
Discussion
I dont know if there is an issue. Just pointing out even the bip300 author wants to help increase the decentralise mining pools.
Sure, can debate endlessly about this--even the drive chain VC funding
For example, 3 million USD could train a lot of next-gen bitcoin developers in places like El Sal at this point, arguably better spent money!
Yep $3 Million is literally nothing compared to most shitcoin defi and not projects on ETH lol. I think Stacks received over $150 million in 2021 from just VCs.
Nostr and Lightning folks apparently built these protocols with zero funding from VCs lol.
We could talk about how Saylor has way more influence over bitcoin than anyone else as he owns 1% of the bitcoins in existence and runs the bitcoin mining council which pushes the ESG narrative for big corporate miners who’s shareholders are blackrock.
*nft projects
ESG is something that most everyone loves (but, in the end, can't agree on)
Consensus is hard :)
