why aren't there more NFT projects funding their operations from % yield from 'NFT mint' yield-generating treasuries vs. getting large sums upfront?

as long as team delivers, they get paid by community that sees results. no progress? no more crypto for y'all. embrace skin in the game. deliver.

absolutely agree, Mike. many founders share the experience that managing relationships / expectations with a small group of professional investors is way more preferable to managing expectations of hundreds/thousands of community members re: project funding.

While that makes sense for long term alignment, and I'd argue generally an option that is healthier for the ecosystem, it is tough to turn down the allure of a large, up-front liquid payment that can go to the team / project and ultimately be controlled by the founders.
