If Yes, is it right to bring in venture capital into a decentralized crypto project? Wouldn't this make the name 'decentralized' of a project invalid?
Bitcoin is a decentralized network, and not a centralized business, company (or startup), thus venture capital is inapplicable to it. Venture capital has to do with investors funding 'novel' or precocious businesses/companies for returns and equity (ownership), this definition proves how inapplicable it is to Bitcoin, you do not fund Bitcoin, you buy it, either to hodl or to spend it, and nobody gets any form of ownership in the Bitcoin network. Notwithstanding, institutional investors buy quite a lot of Bitcoin for their personal profit and use, but in the network they are as equal as someone who owns just 0.001 Bitcoins.
Also, I have seen posts about some saying that Bitcoin is the only true decentralized project, how valid is this? Out of like, thousands of crypto projects we have in this space, how is it that only Bitcoin is fully decentralized?
DYOR, and you'd find out why!
