Are you … assuming I’m going to make a strawman argument and discrediting it before it occurs? Strawception? Is that where these comments are coming from?
“Maybe it’s a scam, but so is [central banking / the stock market / every other startup / etc.]”
You’re trying to gaslight the OP to believe that what they’re feeling is normal, but it’s not. In startups with real products and real users and actual growth, the mood is not “we’re just dumping tokens.”
the questions OP asked have the same quizzical observations that had been levied at the whole tech startup scene for the last ... 14? ... years
its not different enough, a lot of people especially younger people may just be entering the workforce, so its a valid question if they've been exposed to anything else before
Thats a big caveat. Tons of startups dont have that and still consume billions in capital.
