sauna notes: 

the existential bottleneck of crypto from my pov is that it is aware of the qualitative functions needed to embolden the quantitative infrastructure 

yet it suffers from two areas of valid concern: 

1. funding is hard to justify for things that don’t equate to metrics 1=1 (ppl have families, bills, responsibilities & there are plenty of margins you can squeeze in a utilitarian pov)

2. talent is plenty in one regard and incredibly sparse in the more meaningful sense (willing but unable, able but unwilling) 

it’s an ironic problem due to the enormous amounts of capital availability for reasonably-objective redundancies, grifts, honeypots, and clones 

doubly ironic due to the fundamental theory of the tech being cooperative, modular, and open; yet struggling comprehensively in materialization

crypto exists in superposition - simultaneously revolutionary and stagnant until observed through capital allocation, where potential collapses into either genuine innovation or speculative mimicry depending on whether we recognize that value creation isn't just numerical growth but rather the quantum boundary where technical possibility and human necessity converge
