It's like nobody in this thread has heard of the massive public goods ecosystem and all the experimentation going on around this idea of "voluntary taxes". But yes, very promising hypothesis that if we align incentives with transparent systems we can actually create an environment where people enjoy funding things for improving their existence without monetary rewards for doing so.

oh I'm aware of the experiments going on in this space, I'm just generally skeptical of most of them because the pooling and deployment of funds tends to be centralized when you boil it down it's what drove me to build my /poidh crowdfunding "open bounty" mechanism, would love to hear your thoughts on it! https://paragraph.com/@poidh/poidh-open-multiplayer-bounties-explained

Yeah I love what you're doing! It's experiments all the way down! I think there will be hundreds of innovations like yours that help move this hypothesis forward. I was just scoffing at all the naysayers replyguying your post 😂 people are so stuck in the politics rut that they can't even see daylight anymore. I also agree that most of the public goods experiments right now are not hitting the mark. But they are all experimenting with the same hypothesis you are! I think most ppl just don't really get it yet that public goods = taxes. They're solving for the same problem. We solve public goods and we don't need mandatory taxes anymore. This is hands down the biggest application of Blockchain technology. Largest TAM possible. Nothing could be more important! So keep up the good work!
