Perhaps, but I’m not sure what is more important than building the machine that builds the machine. Is there a more impactful way to invest capital? Of course this is all conjecture here, but maybe the contrarian bet here is that we can find more people interested in investing time and capital at a rate higher than the inflation of the token supply (which is 0). Bitcoin does it. Ethereum does it. How do we build Gitcoin as a hyperstructure?
I’m not sure where it is on the forum, but I do know this is a regular discussion I have at both the workstream and the leadership level. There is some amount of tension created in understanding these mechanisms.
For example, if a workstream has service revenue, should that be used by the DAO as a whole or should the workstream spin out a service org in which Gitcoin has an ownership stake? Or should it be kept by the workstream?
Here is an incredibly well articulated post covering describing the tension of a workstream with a clear mandate which realizes it is capable of more impact outside of its mandate, but within the DAOs overall purpose.
