sounds like theres a product gap and a market need; lets make a subscription "subscription service" service - the last subscription you'll ever have to manage!
what if there was an open protocol with a public API where you could just purchase fungible subscription primitives and then disburse them into any SaaS like Netflix, JetBrains, or M365? you'd probably want an immutable transaction log for both consumer and business protections, and it would be better if the system were distributed and trustless so you don't have to worry about any funny business on anyones part. also you dont have to count on those privateering, regulatory-captured bankers to prevent or replace erronerous double-spends and manage payment disputes - all the records are chained together and auditable!
I am no longer having fun writing this post. fungible subscription primitives - i made myself sad.
- salawat 4y agoI stopped doing these types of posts long ago, because there is always somebody around who'll look at what was clearly meant to be a cautionary tale, and in it see a brilliant thing that just must be made as soon as they finish the pitch deck.
