There will come a time when delegate slots will become premium employment positions.
There will come a time when delegate slots will fund small businesses. (At Bitcoin scale, each delegate has a potential 2 or 3 million dollar budget.)
Many of us look at Silicon Valley as the classic ecosystem for tech startup incubation.
Imagine a
BitShares Valley of 101 innovative small businesses
competing to hire top developers.
That's where we are heading.
In the mean time, it will mostly be entrepreneurs, not code-to-spec engineers, who are likely to compete for these slots with the goal of becoming one of the
BitShares Valley Fortune 100 companies in a few years. Entrepreneurs have always been willing to take a risky/loss-leader position in the short run for a shot at the pot of gold at the end of their journey.
We offer a "less-high-risk", fairly clear path for entrepreneurs to follow. They seldom have that luxury.
...and that should be enough!
