DFINITY is not your friend or your enemy. DFINITY is a non-profit organization that contributes to the development of Internet Computer Blockchain, and it should focus on the protocol, not on the applications. No other reason to focus on specific applications unless you have a backdoor deal with them and their networks. It seems some DFINITY employees don’t understand jack shit about web3 or crypto networks in general. Seem like incredibly inexperienced, as pointed out by a post here
Also, if you pay developers 30 ICP for sharing research they took a month to compile - it just reflects on you (DFINITY) poorly. That’s why no one experienced wants to contribute WITH you.
30 ICP now is = less than $150.
That being said, I am a believer in blockchain singularity, and I believe ICP has the potential to disrupt the internet and become the defacto compute layer for the public internet of the world. But if you do not hold DFINITY accountable for the things it does and the way it does, then one day, it might be too late to do so.
