@MayaPosch ’cos more convenient alternatives exist & they’re used to them. We can’t change that. Alternatives must compete on convenience :) -
@Aral Alternatives must deliver value to users not just convenience. VC funded start ups grow by delivering value for "free" cc@MayaPosch -
@NeilMilliken@MayaPosch Indeed & they will deliver whole-term value, not short-term value at the cost of eroding freedoms in the long-term. -
@aral@MayaPosch Size and scale requires funding. In the past only VC and banks could provide, thats why crowd funding is so exciting.
