I am vexed

cannot find an answer to this riddle:

how tf has $DOT managed to incubate so many projects before parachains are even live?

Do the numerals add up?

polkaproject.com sayeth more than 300 teams are building on $DOT

👀 wtf sers??

More below 👇

Either other L1 smart contract platforms have been pitifully terrible at convincing startups to launch on their platforms...

or $DOT is the single greatest piece of technological innovation since the birth of bitcoin

I close my eyes and rub my pale, swollen temples

Perhaps it's something else me wonders

Perhaps they're better marketers than all the other "$ETH killers" that have come before?

Perhaps they've spent more on "grants"? (even though it's hard to imagine anyone spending more than Binance has)

3/6

Or perhaps, yes, the tech has inspired legions?

Hmm....

But I looketh frens into the projects, and mostly I see not tech founders, but founders of marketing agencies

I see not 20 year olds... but 40 years olds

And I pause... and I think... and I wait

4/6

I sayeth not that the tech is bad or that radical innovation will not come kicking & screaming from the fresh $DOT womb

I sayeth not that money won't be made

But I say the scales seem unbalanced

They maketh me wonder

I am happy...

.... I desire deeply in fact to be proven wrong...

Shine your torch of knowledge into my sewer

Share with me your thoughts here or in my DMs

This 🤡 sitteth alone and in the dark

Can this 🤡 be the only one?
