Thanks for the reply. 1 - For patronage, how do you view the Patreon model? 2 - A gift economy seems good, but how do you eventually "gift up" to the necessities (food, water, shelter)?

Patreon is great, the only thing is that we shouldn't need a middleman that takes a cut. But insofar as teaching people a new behavior, it's wonderful. It will take a decentralized identity management solution to move past that. Something like uPort[0]. To the second point - we are already probably at a level where basic needs could be met with relative ease, given the will[1].
