No I believe you are right. It’s all related.

Passion is love. Love is the force of creation. When we love something unconditionally, we pour the energy of creation into it.

When we love with conditions/incentives (ie I love this be because I’m making money), that pure energy is distorted/blocked. The most powerful way to create something is by unconditionally loving it.

But how do we filter on passion, when incentives seem to be required to attract anyone these days?

Agreed. Onlyfans is probably large enough that if they told their customers they could only accept visa or crypto payments that they would lose a lot less business than if they jettisoned their (core?) business.

In fact, MasterCard might lose enough business that they might reconsider. So this can’t be the full story.

Don’t rely on a “they” to solve a problem you’re passionate about. If you feel passionate about it, you should solve it!

This is really distressing, especially considering the ongoing public behavior of the original founder. Kicking out Paul seems like the opposite reaction for YC to have. It would be helpful to hear a public comment from them about this situation.
