So a new development has taken place. 

DeSci or decentralized science. 

VCs have decided they would rather band together through DAOs on the #Bitcoin network to develop pharmaceuticals and compete with big pharma…

By doing exactly what big pharma does, but in a DAO???

I mean props for understanding #Bitcoin is the most decentralized and secure network, but it feels like a cash grab, rug. Picking such a bizarre and unregulated market doesn’t do any favors. 

I could be wrong on this. My personal experience can be highlighted as: pharma opts for expensive treatments, and either directly or indirectly prevents cheap cures.

I’m not sure how much decentralization could help this. https://image.nostr.build/9c09dbeb9da8d89ffa6007ebfb92c88a044f72726d76add2f32d6b19b0ea969e.jpg  

 I wrote a quick take on decentralized green chemistry the other day. I feel like desci needs to be complemented with open science and biomaker spaces or biohacker spaces. I'm not a trained chemist, but you can get surprisingly far with self-teaching and ChatGPT. I feel like the academic version of the discipline obfuscates the simplicity of chemistry in practice. https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzdesxqeryde3xvengdpeqgsrvx5qz6t663a68t54q66vgyllge6mclwvddlef5wjm3u96a3035qrqsqqqa28nlnn6t
