Isn't there a risk here of devs getting captured by the paper monster/"the suits" ? Let's destroy the suits, but first let them payroll us?

Taking a donation from big tech means they call some shots. Proceed with caution. Funds that truly support FOSS should also be sent to developers of privacy tools and non kyc exchanges.

it's also the education. when someone puts in a stake , even if it's through ETF, they research and talk ..

I definitely read this at first as "10% to @npub1zejd...sjcc". Makes a lot more sense after reading the text in the picture!
Ne melons pas Bitcoin s'il vous plaît avec la Politique qu'importe le pays où chaque adepte réside.. La politique et Bitcoin 2 voies complètement incompatibles m'est avis... On a bien vu les résultats. Que certains États détiennent autant de Bitcoin grâce des saisies suite à des affaires scandaleuses causées par des soi-disant *bitcoin ers * c'est à s'interroger non sur l'éthique de certains !?

Try to not waste the money in donations to lazy millionaire anti-progress transformist "Bitcoin Core devs" this time.
I know this can be interpreted in a more positive way. But when it comes to financial incentives I always assume that it compromises (former) goals. View quoted note →

What do you mean? Opensats is currently funding a bazillion useless core developers.

Donations are made with no strings attached to these orgs. And none of these orgs dictate what the developers work on.

Cant speak for opensats but at Brink really the main factor is awareness. Awareness of the work going on, the value it brings, and the fact that we all are the ones to fund it.
