See, this is what immediately turned me off the article. I don't WANT a payment system that is about beating up other payment systems in the schoolyard and making them cry. I want a payment system that takes money on my behalf and then pays me with it. I'll put up with a lot of inefficiency if it's boring and predictable. You're gonna have a heck of a time prying me away from Patreon in favor of your new lunch-money taking payment system with crypto and hookers. If you're leading with 'take their lunch money', I don't trust you. I don't trust Jack Conte THAT much, but it's sure a lot more than you.

To your point, it's foolish to pick a fight with a grizzly bear (i.e., Patroen). It's smarter to ask: where is there a market not being fulfilled? Then if that goes well enough eventually *maybe* you look to square off with the grizz. But to run into the sprawling plenty of room forest intentionally looking for a gizzly? That's foolish.
