My thinking here is that once you have a truly free market enabled by bitcoin, we will have an abundance of the things we need and that unlocks the v4v model.
Currently everyone is working stupid hours and scraping their money together so the idea of giving someone money for something they put out for free seems absurd.
Maybe. But this place is full of mega-rich Bitcoiners and most of the biggest zappers, subscribers, volunteers, and donors, are relatively poor people. The broad middle class usually ends up paying for everything, in the end. Even the funds are eventually just spending their contributions, as the big donations start to run out.
The plus side is that the middle class is the one with the least slave-mentality, so we'll tend to have a disproportionate amount of them on here.
