europoooooor

fundamentally i believe French culture believes

- the system is unfair and run by elites
- therefore, to win one must either: 1. outsmart the system or 2. be part of the elite
- both are viewed as bad - being in the elite is immoral, and success, even via outsmarting, is bad because following the rules is good

what @martin states + highly numeric/engineering focused education system (particularly for the upper middle class but in general as well) + extremely bureaucratic society/culture

sums up why i believe the french have been such ideal and prolific defi architects, ironically the /europoooooor environment forces these guys to become natural born systems hackers 🥖

your mom's favorite farcaster (probably), building /quidli 🦑 & /dist ♻️, casting in /justinahn, daoing in /🍊 & /🟪

🎩 first, but I like being part of this experiment that is the Farcaster network 🌶️ spicy strategist

there's a ton of people from the ICO days from france but living outside

then you have the ledger founders, request finance founders, key members of the aave team, paraswap founders, angle protocol founders and more recently the morpho founders to cite a few

🤔

vive les frenchies - who are some examples of these defi hackers?
