Depends a bit on your location also. In some countries, the social security is good enough that people can survive on them while doing whatever (low cost) hobbies they like. I've heard of a few academics continuing to do research while being supported by the unemployment money.
But yeah, some big company offering a crapload of money to buy lichess is also a problem. No-one is idealistic enough to refuse an amount of money that can support them and their family for the next two generations.
- hinkley 5y agoI should point out that I’m not just random internet grouch #435, but someone dabbling with this class of problem. I’m trying right now to set something up that has the potential to have much more value to someone greedy than it does to my target audience. It’ll take a while I think before it really comes to that, but it is not out of the realm of reason. I will most definitely be trying to take the temptation away from myself (or my heirs) to sell it. I would likely do that anyway, but the goad is that it costs more than I can really afford to write off unless I get very lucky, or others contribute substantially. There really isn’t much incentive for them to do that while I own everything outright. If I don’t want to end up with a cat food diet in my 80’s I’m probably going to need some of my investment back.
