We're not allowed to say Darth's name anymore?
It's one of my favorites too (even tho i literally just typed this in an anon imgflip session, so technically it is new, haha.) Many of the oldtimers feel this way. I have some irl friends from that era (because opti wasn't always careful with identity before) and every time I meet one of these people this is a shared view as a big problem. Worse, some of the people that appear to be all cypherpunk nowadays are in fact through the backdoor funded by the same system they claim to despise[1].
But to their defense: often because there wasn't much of an option for the same type of funding if you only wanted whales to help you out - I just was lucky to learn very early that ycombinator is not the place you go to for a Bitcoin startup; they'll always go for the shitcoiner solution because there's more early gainz to be had with an ICO than with an honest business that cannot ICO. ↩
Ain't that the way of the world?
