We all have preferences; my recent and modest amount of study in social dynamics has taught me that humans spend an inordinate amount of time curating and reviewing their own preferences. Why else do your kids spend hours perfecting their bitmoji avatars and yours.
I'd go even further to say, we all have strong preferences and opinions. It's just not so apparent because many of us choose to suppress those preferences and opinions for various reasons. Religion, social stigma, dare I say, cancel culture ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
We all want to be in our element. We all have an environment in which our mind is at ease and we are feeling good in our optimal space. We feel like the words flow, the beat is on, and we might be making music or we might as well be. Either way, we are making things that are going to help people jam.
I don't care how much one loves math; any cryptographer at the end of the day just wants to be left alone live life the way that she wants, accumulate a bit of wealth to pass on, and the ability to spend that shit the way one wants.
The more developers building on open-source infrastructure like zcashd, the more products we will have in the world that provide these amenities. The more people we can onboard as developers, the more diverse the development community at large will be. The more developer friendly we make zcash and the ecosystem around it, the more developers will want to participate and us our stuff.
We already have the best cryptographers and math research teams and leadership. Frankly, what we are currently missing is the community and as a result, lack of attention.
Every close game has a turning point.
