The idea is interesting but don't you think that stemmit or whatever that site is called kinda monetizes articles as well? Moreover, if one article is bought by someone, there is no point for another person to buy it since the article will already be crawled on the internet if the first buyer puts it online.
Yes, but in a different way. I think it's better to pay for what you get. It's possible to put paid content online for free, this applies to also other marketplace sites like themeforest.net, but imho incentives for this are not strong enough.
Of course not! It's your project, you're free to implement whatever payment method you think your end users will be happy with.
I think so, but crypto-racism is real thing :) There is so much hate in the space, especially between Bitcoin and its forks.
If anything, Bitcoin projects should post their whitepapers here - anyone that want's to read it has to pay for it.
Not only whitepaper - anything technical that has had research time & money spent into it, could find it's way to Literatus
OP - good work!
Just don't de-rank it by calling it a blogging platform.
Thanks for these comments and advices! Hopefully it will turn into a digital library from a blogging platform over time.
