crypto VCs (and large VCs in general) have completely destroyed any long term alternative investments

anything newly released on the open market is by default overpriced and you're left picking for scraps, or you're next to the trough

or you're forced into derivatives trading, which is a whole another game...

at heart, im a trader and investor

it feels like only strategy to accumulate more Bitcoin through these means is buying cyclical bottoms and selling cyclical tops

even those are becoming slower and harder to identify through BTC algorithmization and market ossification

it's just felt super painful and depressing over the last few years

nostr is a breath of fresh air

everyone is super fucking laser focused on FOSS and/or building up this new space

it's refreshing to see people building and watching nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and co. fund using open sats without the expectation of oh yeah we're gonna build something existing then slap a token on top and then dump on everyone and zero sum this shit to zero
