this is also why i am constantly berating fiatjaf, pablo, and others about their work on things that don't address or disregard the importance of making the protocol self-funding
without self funding this thing will die like every VC funded attempt at social networks, it's really serious and these people just don't get it, comfortable with their fat grants
bitcoin is now bigger than the swiss franc because it is a self funding distributed system
i can't say enough towards this and really want people to get hold of this and run with it because the sooner this protocol is its own circular ecosystem between users, devs and operators the sooner we are outside of the gates, right now we are just like a billy goat bashing against a fence that is strong enough to contain him
self funding is like a set of heavy duty bolt cutters
We should start a company, issue a token and build a revenue model.
1. A client cannot start charging fees from the get go. It has to be a freemium model.
2. The client will abstract away all the underlying costs. Maybe a $1/year could be the minimum.
3. It cannot be ads based. It'll misalign the incentives again.
no need to register with the government for anything, why?
Why do we need to register with a government?
only if you want to serve them or be raped
Do not want to be raped, by anyone.
oh i forgot, not "serve" i meant "be the slaves of"
so, yeah, i'll pass on being raped or any kind of slavery as well
I got what you meant ahaha. I don't want to be their servant!
