Isn’t the incentive for devs to maintain Bitcoin built in the protocol? Devs owning coin should be all that’s needed and represent a purer incentive compared to Wall Street money imo. 

Donations welcome of course but should be extra.

 There's a nominal incentive to keep the protocol from dying. But that is very different from the kind of incentive that is giving us anything that requires full time commitment. Like all these amazingly private lightning wallets.
