 Agree.
I like giving out grants and donating, but it's a very startup-y model. At some point, you should have paying customers, or you never achieve a broad, diverse market driven by customer needs.

 Yep. And if your company has paying customers, you might have surplus. Who keeps the surplus? You need owners who build this machine. The surplus should go out as dividends. The owners can be the employees who built or the angels who funded it. This ownership needs to exist somewhere, not on NYSE but onchain. 

It feels like we are ignoring the very thing that brought humanity to where we are right now. Companies and ownership. 

The state is the culprit for inflating our money. The companies never did anything wrong. Why are we against companies? Can someone tag Jack?

I'm curious why you against companies owned by their builders.

 The closest thing we have to a company is predefined zap-splits. 🤔

 Why Financial Regulations? Security and tech part is hard for sure. 

We were discussing a different problem related to building companies the other day.
