There are three ways to be able to get to Costa Rica. Each may or may not work depending on some amount of luck.
a) You work hard, you continuously learn new things that will move you forward, you focus your time on that goal, you spend some portion of every day on getting closer to the goal. You also exercise and try to sleep well to be as healthy as possible and to make your brain work well.
b) You demand your government takes care of you. You say that everyone deserves to go to Costa Rica. So you support whichever leader gives you that and together you choose a type of people that you fight against (e.g. choose from people living in the cities, people owning businesses, people from upper class, people of different religion...) That's all you need to do really, just sit back, watch TV and wait. By having this selected enemy the system can squeeze money. If you are close to the center of the system it's possible that the system sends you to Costa Rica to discuss open, public, censorship resistant protocol. The question is what do you do there?
c) You were born in the right setup and have easy money. Note here that for people living in the US, Costa Rica is generally a bit cheaper. So by going to Costa Rica you save some money (it sort of depends, CR is getting more expensive in the recent years - the market seems to be pushing it on the levels of Hawaii).
It also depends where you live. It's cheaper for me to go to Costa Rica than to the US.
Let's not forget the jab. This kind of conferences should all be organized in countries that require no stupid vaccination passports. So definitely not in the USA.

I think the jab is irrelevant in the sense that if you include it you will be dead soon enough anyway.

a) You work hard, someone else steals your work and claims it as their own.
b) partially responsible for stealing your work.
c) Probably true for the majority of people such that a) or b) isn't happening to them.

Stealing of your work can happen in specific classes of work, but it's not as common - it's part of the risk assessment that everyone has to do on their own. That's why I really specifically focused on learning things - skills and knowledge can't be stolen from you. So hustling and trying multiple things is a good approach even when you hit setbacks, but I fully agree that this is not easy and even if you do all this it may not result in success.
Overall, so I understand better, what do you suggest would be a better way? What did you expect to happen with Nostr and Nostrica?

There is a balance between charity and earning--especially for humanitarian needs. Right now, I'd say the needle is set to "earning" in a less than balanced way.
