Expect to pay

There’s a subtle fiat effect I see in people expecting Bitcoin-centric products and services to be free, or near-free

It comes from decades of free gmail, facebook, linkedin, google and so on, who provide “free” products and services because YOU ARE THE PRODUCT

Pretty much everything in Bitcoin at the moment is experimental; founders trying new business models, testing markets, finding “fit” (or not) .. and iterating 🔥

Business models and products that find market fit will quickly be validated by me-too variants: the ultimate validation .. and one which then drives prices down 😃

So when you look at new Bitcoin products and services, it’s important (imo) to understand the business model, and then understand if the value is worth the cost .. *to you*

If it’s not, move on, nothing to see - perhaps it’ll be of value to others whose needs are different

If you think this is unreasonable, perhaps it’s best you just fuck off back to Facebook and Google and continue to be harvested
