Crypto has that, but only for DeFi, right?

Like a better DeFi product makes more money, right?

I assume, not having tried it.

But Signal doesn't make more money the more users it has.

It loses more money the more users it has, right?

Because they pay for the servers and the customer support and whatever else their costs are.

Their costs are only going to go up the more users they have, and they don't make any more money for more users.

So that's a missing piece of that strategy.

So, yeah, we can totally win.

We just have to start with UX and normal users.

The user experience that normal users have and have some feedback loop where the better products get more and more fuel poured back into them so that we're not just turning into Silicon Valley.

What is it?

It's that that's not extracted from the user.

Like I want the user to pay.

Like basically my solution to all the world's problems is simple, which is people pay for stuff and there's open competition, right?

There's no effective capture.

Therefore, competition will make the things that are better for people more prominent and popular over time.

Well, I think that with Linux, it started like that.
