It's just like Napster->Kazaa->Gnutella all over again! In 10 years there will be iTunes.

  In what sense? This is not a file sharing platform. Also, money is exchanged here.

    In the sense that it's not clear how openbazaar developers will earn money.

      They can add the fees later, when (if) it gets popular. If the fees are low enough, forking it would be too much hassle.

        As an OB dev myself, I could and would remove any amount of built in fees. We can make money providing services to users without rent seeking from everyone.

          Yes, but you probably agree that putting ethics above money means there's a higher risk of losing the long term game in a capitalist world.

            Funnily enough, putting money over ethics also presents a high risk of losing the long term game... if your long term goal is to end up with something user-centric and ethical.

              Not sure I'm getting the point. "end up with something user-centric and ethical" also implies the much simpler requirement of "end up with something". Maybe if one implies that to "end up with something unethical" is as bad or worse than "end up with nothing"?
