Platforms started by many people—thousands in this case—have way more leverage than a single person trying to do the same.
It may not be impossible, but in this case it should be sane to assume it would be a waste of energy for a single person to attempt it.
- matz1 7y agoFb didn't start with thousand people, it start with zuck coding up (or maybe stole it) prototype in his bedroom
- eswat 7y agoShould clarify: by this case I mean Libra, not Facebook.
- matz1 7y agoSure, doesn't change the fact that libra started by facebook and facebook started by one person, zuck.
- eswat 7y agoI didn’t have Facebook,the social network way back, in my mind when trying to make my argument (I definitely should have made this clearer). Remove the history behind Facebook and just look at the numbers of the LibraCoin consortium and you’re not dealing with just one person. That’s the lens someone wanting to make a competitor should be looking through, not that LibraCoin has a long thread tying back to “just” Zuck. That catalyst has little to do with the challenge of competing with LibraCoin as it has started today.
- matz1 7y agoI'm arguing against original argument that one person can't do anything against something big. Any changes start from one person trying to do so. I'm arguing that’s the lens you should have in mind.
