the most generative constraint for me personally has been not having a lot of money really glad I did NOT hit some huge win on memecoins, I've seen a couple people who I see as talented "could build something" types do this and they haven't shipped anything embrace your conditions, capital is a tool. if its available to you, use it. if its not, forget about it. whatever perfect idea you have that requires a ton of capital is probably not so great actually. i might even argue taking the $ away will probably force you to be more realistic and to execute. when I think about funding I think about removing the basic barriers to focusing time and attention on a problem, not racks on racks

making a lot of money tradinq also has the negative effect of making you imagine you are really smart I've felt this a few times because ofc I have made some money trading its awful. nope - you're really not so smart. stop drinking your own cool aid and start reading or something and then start writing

Well said! I think especially with the tech and tools available today, good ideas can grow without a ton of capital. If the core idea is solid, it’ll be scalable as you build attention for it

this seems like something unique to the crypto industry. so many rich individuals who just stopped shipping, while AI folks are out there grinding like crazy for a $1k revenue. the same also applies to so many crypto companies that raised tons of $, but just stopped experimenting.

I love this I think this is super important for anyone that wants to come into this space specifically and succeed (without capital) to understand this and that it is still possible to network here with incredible people and build relationships, thus build something great for Farcaster. Money can come after if it must to continue development and the community will decide if they want to support. Usually any one with the idea they need a bunch of money to "start" is probably not in it for the tek 😂

Lack of money forces creativity. It strips away distractions and makes you focus on what truly matters—solving problems, not just throwing cash at them. Some of the most innovative ideas come from necessity, not abundance. When you don’t have unlimited capital, you sharpen your execution, refine your vision, and actually build. If you need a ton of money to make your idea work, it might not be that great to begin with.
