RE: Decentralized cats and stake locked investment into development
Isn't it somehow funny that we are trying to create an alternative, decentralized world, yet we are focusing so much on people buying in using regular money? We need investors that are supposedly somehow rich in the regular, centralized world.
But I guess there is no way around this if you want to be able to pay people so that they are able to exchange what they make here for something they can buy bread for. Unless someone starts selling bread for STEEM. @dstors perhaps? :-)
But seriously, how is this different from what exists already? We are just copying the power structure that already exists, aren't we? Now let us try hard to please the potential investors :P
It's not that I don't get the point, but I find the situation somehow contradictory. But then in depends what our aim really is. I will have to think about this a bit more really. Could have done so before spending like 6 months working on Steeve for free, though :-)

I think the buying in is okay, the cashing out is the issue :D But yeah,it is hard to have a blockchain funded world if there is no where to use it.
I think we are all investors in some way but we aren't a self-sufficient enclosed commune with a cycle of work and return, there is a lot of leakage. Until the system is able to somehow be enclosed and still satisfy individual demands, aren't we going to need external energy sources?
I find it contradictory too and am unsure what our aim is. Some percentage want to change the world, a lot just want to buy in at a higher tax bracket. It would be nice to see a model of sustainability.
