Pele was also a very rich football player. Most of the time this doesn’t work well for the triers and they end up in extreme poverty and very depressed.
#bitcoin and crypto in general are also full of very ego-driven people due to the nature of money.
Software most of the time is fruitless without Uncle Sam help (aka VCs, jack and etc).
#nostr for example ignored all the triers at time of launch just to run a very centralized target for Google. So the #matrix team was throw out of the window just because jack had other friends.
