      If your blockchain 3.0 project competes against ETH but doesn't have a way to beat ETH's developer traction you have massive execution risk. Scalability won't be enough. Neither will formal verification. Neither will onchain governance. Recruit developers not investors.

      Provide value to existing businesses and users, not developers. :D Developers like investors are a means to an end which is end-user adoption. There are plenty of ways to beat BTC or ETH to mass adoption.

      what do you believe are some of these 'ways'?

      Take an existing product and modify it. Some of these blockchain projects are sitting on "billions" why not buy a smaller company and disintermediate it? (Basically, turn a private company into a co-op via tokenization.)

      And thereby show others "what's possible", and encourage similar disintermediation. This is very interesting. My one question: where is the profit motive, and to who?

      This was the question I asked myself when working at ConsenSys in 2015. The purchasers of the company will, without some significant side effects, lose money. But the dapp should beat its app competition because the dapp provides "extra" value to its users when compared to app...

      ...if the purchasers are the users, then they should net gain, yet, the incentives are tricky. It's an issue for some of my existing clients. We design these great mechanisms, but running a co-op is very different than using a service, and bootstrapping is non-trivial.

      I agree with your points. In a very crude example, if we build a decentralized, disitermediating Uber or Airbnb, we destroy the 10-30% rent that the vampire middleman accrues today. Instead this rent would be split beween driver and consumer...

      ... My question is: What is the motivation of a developer / entrepreneur to build the decentealized Uber? How does she make money?

          They are a true believer in the vision, and/or they take a car service everywhere. :)

          I would expect them to make a decent wage. That being said, I left ConsenSys and eventually started my own consultancy, since there didn't seem to be some huge upside for me.

          Sorry I should have been more precise. The Uber dApp founder doesn’t make tens of millions+, right?

          Correct, it's unclear to me why they would.

          For smart contract platform tokens to ever become SoV’s, it neccessitates massive economies being built on top of them. The aforementioned lack of profit motive to build in that economy makes it difficult to imagine why those economies would be massive. What are your thoughts?

          You can check my tweets, I think the store of value narrative is overblown/basically-nonsense.
