From an investment perspective this is a great idea but for many of the writers being paid shares each month, its about an income to live on, not invest. (edit) and I suspect that if developers are paid in DVC this would be the case for many as well.
Speaking only for myself, this is not the case. Nor would it be my wish to bring any crypto currencies out of my wallets at this time. Things have been comfortable for me financially before coming to this community, though my lifestyle is not lavish.
My interest is the philosophy behind devcoins and watching it growing and evolve. It is great that if some folks need the extra cash to get by, that it is there for them to do so. It is hard for me to believe that the crash of DVC each share split truly reflects the
need of the many but more the large degree of
non-believers it is currently carrying. If one
believes then dumping one's coins is selling oneself short. Unless we are talking about selling
and buying with day trades. That helps to put stability in the market.
It's not my wish to point fingers. Most likely, things will sort themselves out over time. It just feels good, for me, to have finally become a junior contributor of this community. Perhaps other programmers get the same buzz as me, just having people using their software, regardless of the monetary payout. My guess is that
real writers feel the same when someone reads their work or
real graphic artist/painters see their work hanging on someone else's walls.
