Why do you think there are so many builders and projects that believe in "if we build it they will come." Thinking that their ideal users are so smart and affectionate about exactly their "thing" that they will find it without any market evangelisation and differentiation efforts 🤔 Do you think that it is deeply rooted in the education and the fucked up views many professor at technical universities hold about business? Curious even about anecdotal evidence?

@metadavid
This is a very thought-provoking question. My hunch: historically (maybe about the past 30 years) the tech space has always had a surplus of business people and not enough technical people. What I'm finding in this particular space it's actually the opposite, there are tons of devs, but not a lot of people with strong business acumen. As a result, most people are simply leaning into their strengths/competencies. Every time I hear things like "permissionless" building, I close my eyes and shake my head. APIs and SDKs that allow someone to build permissionlessly have existed for DECADES. This isn't new to web3. 🤣 It's code for being lazy and trying to weasel out of doing things like go-to-market plans. BUT...it's early days, we'll have more adults entering the room soon, haha.

Very thoughtful answer ... I already ended up in the camp (before I read your answer) that cypherpunks are basically business ignorant. There might a bit of truth that we are still early and people are still learning ... although 10+ years seems long enough. And now, we are supposed to actually make products for people without shouting "blokchain" so it will be very hard to survive without well thought out distribution 😇
