Perhaps it's good if Bitcoin isn't the "hotness".

I wouldn't want the developers of Core to be interested in it because it's a good career move or looks good on a resume.

Yes, that probably means fewer applicants, and less qualified applicants.  But for something that has a certain ideology attached to it, I do prefer devs that are somewhat more ideologically motivated.

ATACK: but the the problem is not that that there isn't funding from say open s to fund not developers. It's just that there have not been any applications to fund not developers by someone who was good. Fair enough. I I don't recall seeing one, but apparently there was one that wasn't very good that I hadn't seen. So um and core is also currently having a problem. I have been led to understand that the developer pipeline has also dried up. Maybe Bitcoin is not it anymore. Maybe AI is the hotness. But core hasn't seen a lot of new people coming in. Not there hasn't haven't been any applications. Funding is there.
