How can a business effectively make money, and scale, running on decentralized infrastructure (blockchain) though? How is it not more cost effective/business-wise to run in a centralized cloud environment? Seriously what are the business & profit models for these companies? (beyond crypto and ICOs).
- rmc 8y ago"Hard for companies to make money" is seen as a benefit for some
- rambossa 8y agoThere was another reply that is now gone that stated something similar where the founders would effectively limit their profit gains and declare some statement that their work was done for the people rather than profit... I’m not trying to bring about a formal argument here and I may be way off, But IMO these type of quotes are borderline reflective of Marxism or wording that belong in Mein Kampf.
- rmc 8y agoI'm sorry, what? Mein Kampf?? Seriously? The idea of non-profit driven organisations is very old and very well established. From charities, to co-operatives.
- icantdrive55 8y agoA honest 501c3. Kinda like Wikipedia, but no shenanigans. The first sentence should be, "We, the founders, are not here to be billionaires. We are happy with a $200,000 yearly salary, with that wage tied to the inflation rate. We will not beg. We will not be foxey. We will be here because we love what we do, and value our customers. We will not exploit. We will not be megalomaniacs."
