We also see for example Fair.coop that is able to pay people because<br>
of their successful crypto currency, but it has also engendered a lot<br>
of infighting along totally capitalist principles. So I agree at least<br>
partly with Michael. Not everybody descended into competition, but<br>
enough to make the atmosphere smell of sulfur and brimstone now and<br>
