Crypto is such an incredible platform. It’s opened doors to fund ideas when people might’ve never had a chance in web2 because they:

Didn’t have a high-profile cofounder
Weren’t well-connected or resourced
Didn’t go to the best school or get into YC
Had no angel investors interested
Struggled to land a job even after 1,000+ interviews

Yet they had grit—they never stopped learning and always bet on themselves.
