Opensats is a good option for people who need it. But it does mean KYC and the IRS has a honeypot of all the devs.

Which isn't good, but not everyone knows how to bootstrap or run their own business, and infrastructure can't be easily monetized. IMO, grant research money should be reserved for deep research such as frontiers in cryptography, not your next cute level app. 

Society in general has a crisis of over specialization and not enough "wears many hats", (individuals with multiple skill sets), a trait that comes with the territory of running self sovereign businesses.

 While investing can bring significant returns, it is important to remember that all investments carry some level of risk. It is essential to thoroughly research and understand the investment opportunity before making any decisions. It is also important to be cautious of potential scams and ensure that the investment is legitimate and safe. Consulting with a financial advisor or coach, like @coachalex0 , can also be helpful in making informed investment decisions.
