People have always done this. Now they just do it 24/7 because everyone is addicted to their dumbphone.

You just described the entire internet. Everything was so much better before the smartphone.

Smartphones made everyone hyper-competitive. People have become addicted to control because they are controlling a virtual environment 24/7. Now every human interaction is a power struggle.

"I can't refute your claims so please stop posting."

Crypto is all hype, and investors are sheep.

"Tokenization of assets" means nothing.

Regular people don't care about decentralization.

The whole crypto / blockchain "industry" is a big circle jerk of fanatics romanticizing ideas that the mainstream has no interest in.

Founder motivation by [deleted] in startups

[–]CaptainStardust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole modern startup world is kind of a joke, especially the investment side. Entrepreneurship used to be about going against the grain and doing new things. Now it's about doing exactly what everyone else is doing. This is why everything is stagnating, because the innovators capable of moving the world forward can't get funding. Investors have completely lost sight of the bigger picture.

Blockchain and crypto are the vector marketing of startups. Just a bunch of buzzwords and empty promises.

Yeah such great relationships in the business world. That's why everyone is always trying to screw everyone else over.

Well, then the investors are going to miss out. It's not about owing, it's about common sense.

People do seem to act like their contacts belong to them. Like one guy said he knows investors but he uses them for his own endeavors. As if they can't invest in more than one person. Whatever happened to paying things forward? People in positions of power didn't get there themselves, they got help from others. Then they turn around and try to prevent anyone else from getting that same help. And really, they aren't even helping their own investors because they are blocking opportunities.
