The “customer” of crypto is the commons. Not the state, investors, or corps. The product of crypto is a hardened commons. Tokens, global distributed computers, payment rails are just intermediates. If your thing isn’t ultimately about hardening the commons, especially against trad institutional failures and capture attempts, you’re just playing at building a weird theme park out of a particular type of Lego bricks.

doesn't one fail the second it takes money from VCs. doesn't the commons become skewed, disproportionally serving the interest of a few and as such to a significant extent becomes no longer a commons?
