No thanks, we don't need more of this View quoted note → working on bitcoin is something you should be willing to do on your own.

"working on bitcoin is something you should be willing to do on your own." Agree! Is there a reason why there aren't more people doing it?

I know many, me included who educate/orangepill, help others to get on the bitcoin standard etc. never asking for money. Not everyone has to code, imo it's even more important to build the layer 0 = the human layer aka make people truly understand why we need bitcoin etc. Without this layer the technical layer doesn't matter as it gets quickly fully captured.

Got it. The scholarship is ideally for someone that is already contributing in some capacity. They are working on Bitcoin because they love it.
