  How so? A decentralized open source project with no owner whose product has a 500B market cap.

  I feel like that’s exactly what we are talking about. I understand the negative sentiment over crypto, but this is a fact.

    Do people either make money or think they’ll make money simply by using the Fediverse? One can certainly advertise via guerrilla marketing on a Fediverse platform but it’s far more lucrative to advertise on mainstream social media.

      Are you saying brands don’t want to come to the fediverse to market their products? I mean if that’s true that seems like a good thing, and even if it wasn’t I’m sure they would once Lemmy/Mastadon are big enough

        No I’m pointing out why the comparison to Bitcoin is inaccurate. It’s like saying that your open-source software project will work because the Linux kernel worked. The sole point of similarity has little relevance.

        The Fediverse isn’t asset speculation, Bitcoin is.
