I wonder if we are able to give practical examples of how sharing and giving is better than other strategies, examples such as.
That said, I offered to transfer 100,000 devcoins to finshaggy and in turn he's gonna agree to do the hard part (I hope) to distribute it to the first 100 guys (and gals) who open a new devwallet. And if he's too busy I'll make sure to do since I said I would.
I do not have that many Devcoins now, when I get them, I will share some for sure, that is because it is simply better for ME.
If I have hundreds or even thousands of millions of coins and the coin is not used because no one knows about it, then I end up with millions of NOTHING. If I make sure people start using the currency, then it will increase its chances of being there for a longtime, AND its value, I win both ways, it is better for ME to give some coins and share the currency.
