You need to ask the right questions, before investing your own money in anything where long-term survivability matters :
- Is there a person in charge?
- Are there any headquarters?
- If you remove the head, will it survive?
- Is there a division of responsibilities?
- If one unit is out, the organization harmed?
- Power and knowledge is distributed or concentrated?
- Flexible or rigid organization structure?
- Can the employees or participants get counted?
- The working groups are founded by the organization or are they self-founded?
- Working groups are communicating directly or through a bottom-up structure?
Why the Spanish Army never destroyed the Mapuches? The highly centralized Spanish Army could not destroy the highly decentralized Mapuches and Apaches, but they could destroy the centralized Inca Empire and other centralized tribes. Tribute to Lautaro, Caupolican, Colocolo, Galvarino! The Chilean government is still unable to get them under control.
Opensourced file-sharing and communication tools why beated the centralized Record Labels and telecommunication companies, like skype, torrent clients and wikipedia? Or why anonim alcoholics are so successful? Or maybe steemit in the long term compared to facebook and youtube?
Do your own research before investing in any shitcoins, scamcoins, ponzi schemes..... there is only one coin where these question provide the correct answers - the real one, called BTC. Part two tomorrow.
