crypto space always obsessed with incentives, "just one more and we can fully align purpose and profits" but i don't find it to be true, tokens and open markets generally corrupt young communities.
most strong grassroots communities never put funding as the center of their community, funding and governance seems like a necessary thing that happens often much later, out of necessity, after they've built something thats valuable.
the lived example for me is r/boxing – started as a subreddit, later a group chat, then a community slack, then a blog we'd publish fight predictions, then later a press pass for members to attend and cover fights if it was in their region. only toward the end did we need ability to coordinate funds, deal with revenues.
but crypto seems hard bent on the opposite: token & treasury first, movement after. 2 replies
