"These guys hold the whip hand."
OROBTC you come from the old world. I think you don't really have a good handle on how the information age is changing all these assumptions that you think are valid.
Okay then you just need to wait until after the world changes are complete, then you don't need to deal with annoying capitalists.
You can't wait that long because there is time pressure you say? Then in that case you are still dealing in the Old World, and you have to play by Old World Rules while you work to create the new one.
But smooth I wasn't playing their game since at least the 1980s. I was creating my own projects from scratch in my room, marketing them, and selling them for profit. It is amazing to me (not really, I know people are stuck in the reality they've known) that I tell people what I have accomplished in the past and they shrug and think it is irrelevant. I do not think most people comprehend that I've been doing the Knowledge Age since at least the 1980s.
It is not that CoolPage or WordUp were so awesome from a technical standpoint (they were not) that is the relevant point. It is that I bootstrapped them all by myself with no funding. And CoolPage reached 0.3 - 1% of the internet reach (depending which metric is employed to bench mark it). In particular, CoolPage was my revenge on those who had doubted me, because I did it entirely all by myself. I did it from a Nipa Hut in the Philippines in a squalor area and I had dysentry and amoebas nearly ever week and there was a karaoke in my ear nearly 24 x 7. Now I am paying the price with the M.S. due to probably a leaky gut syndrome. WordUp in the mid-1980s I had done partially from living in my Dad's house for free and he did inject $30,000 after launch so I could hire Mike Fulton and order the inventory for physical production of software (remember back then there was no web browser yet). Unfortunately, just after launching and getting CoolPage marketed, I was attacked on Dec. 1, 1999 by a gang (that my ex incited as she also done inciting a neighbor over a hamok and that guy had hit me over the head with a hammer of which I still have a hole in my skull from) and lost the vision in my right eye. My life changed after that. There was a lot of pent up frustration after sacrificing some many years living in squatter zone and all the disease, disrespect for personal space, petty theft, continuous noise, everyone eating my portion of the meal because I was in the hole programming, etc, etc.
I am not saying that I don't want any funding. In fact one of the main reasons for doing the altcoin is to sell an ICO to raise funding to invest in development of the other things we need in this world, such as a better computer programming language, full anonymity for the internet that works, and better hardware that doesn't have backdoors, etc.. The funding I want most is for people to buy the ICO. But before we can get to ICO, we need to implement. Again there will be a problem of trying to find qualified people. I think the key there is to fund people who are already working in that area that needs funding, i.e. fund the experts. And then try to influence them in terms of priorities. Large endowments have a way of influencing priorities
