BTW,
none of them has the solution (yet)
how bluesky / signal make their companies profitable?
they CAN’T
Discussion
BlueSky is funded by VCs
Signal is funded by NGOs
VCs are dying
we're the next evolution of VCs = bitcoin bank
( aka bank X )
NGOs are dying
we’re the next evolution of NGOs = bitcoin bank
( aka bank X )
BlueSky
“we are starting with paid subscriptions”
“Blue Sky is not ruling out advertising”
“the company has raised 15 million so far”
repeating the VC pattern?
that is not the way
Signal
“Signal is an NGO”
“it costs 50 million per year to run Signal”
where do we get that money from?
eternal fundraising?
that is not the way
