Let me guess--you're fed up that 99.9% of those in Bitcoin only ever take, contribute nothing except complaints, expect others to take risks and use their time/capital and even risk their freedom--all to pump the USD exchange rate, as nobody gives a sh*t about the cypherpunk ideas that started this whole thing really--and yet they won't do so much as zap 2 sats to support those people actually doing the work? You are fed up that everyone's a purist/idealist with insane standards when it comes to judging the contribution of *others* but don't hold themselves to anywhere near the same? You are fed up with grifters getting all the clout? You are fed up with seemingly boundless, infinite stupidity overtaking every tiny nook and cranny of Bitcoin the moment we even come *in sight* of mass adoption? Something like that?

Always been the Achilles heel of Bitcoin - incentivizing developers. Satoshi was never paid, and he himself left soon after. That is the nature of developing on Bitcoin, it is a thankless task.

Best we can do is we build in a fashion that others can build to interop/on top of. Small blocks in a large ecosystem. Monolithic projects in Bitcoin will always fail because incentives are not strong enough to keep such large projects afloat.
