@prerationalist having a token attached to a protocol is not really zero sum tho as ppl buy into the program you make money as a large holder of $TOKEN whether it’s relevant to the protocol or not. for example why do ppl buy $SUSHI

@nikhillin_it @halvorz @DeadLiftCapital yeah it’s not about temporary refuge so much as it is about bootloading humanity onto another world and creating the impetus for further development if today’s Mars colony moves up the timeline for terraforming by even 50 years it will have been worth it

@halvorz @nikhillin_it @DeadLiftCapital doesn’t really seem fungible as you have to consider the demand side as well Govts would be thrilled to get their people on Mars (as a general function of people at large would be thrilled to get to Mars), not sure you can cajole them into moving that funding around abstractly

@halvorz @nikhillin_it @DeadLiftCapital I meant thrilled to be there in the abstract (watching it on tv) the actual “colonists” will have to be made of sturdier stuff that being said it’s not for no reason every kid puts astronaut as #1 desired occupation
