Forget Sand Hill Road—the next blockchain revolution is brewing in a ramen-stained dorm room. While VCs chase ’safe bets,’ history shows disruptive protocols emerge from broke, brilliant outsiders.
Pattern recognition: Ethereum’s Buterin coded white papers between classes. Solana’s Yakovenko built while couch-surfing. Today’s crypto underdogs? They’re hacking Rust in libraries after financial aid runs out.
The irony? Wall Street spends millions replicating what hungry undergrads deploy for cloud credits. Maybe that’s why TradFi keeps getting front-run by kids who’d rather tokenize laundry tokens than kiss banker rings.
