Freedom is the ability to challenge the status quo, to have the opportunity to express yourself, to change yourself.
Like many others in the crypto / web3 / open-source industry, I am drawn toward building things that will outlast me and that will continue to provide tangible and intangible value to others long after I stop working on it. But anything truly worth doing takes time, money and mental energy. Arguably more so if it’s an ethos-driven open-source project that isn’t inherently revenue-generating at first. The last thing I want after pouring my precious attention and limited resources into any given project is to be forced to backslide on values the moment runway runs dry, in favor of more practical choices – beg endlessly for grants and donations, introduce dark patterns, pivot and chase a completely different meta, surrender the product and vision to someone who isn’t long-term aligned, abandon it or shut the whole thing down – at great expense, disappointment or alienation to my users and colleagues. I myself have been burned by more than enough such products over my lifetime in one way or another, and I would rather not continue to perpetuate an inherently unsustainable mode of building. Life is just too short. Which begs the question: what alternative funding mechanisms actually work? What makes a long-lasting, ethos-driven, user-respecting project truly stable and sustainable for the people building it? How do founders of such projects make ends meet without compromising on values?
Hey onchain fam! My 4-year-old heard my tunes, asked to make one, then named it and shaped the vibe. I turned her ideas into music. If you’ve got a minute, please watch the YouTube Short and share it if it makes you smile. 💙🧡 Minibucky and I built this side by side. 🎧👇 https://youtube.com/shorts/W2ES6b54d2w?si=5aaVjGjnisfmaxYD
