The difficulty of getting in accumulates value inside.

[If there is a resource within an easy gate to enter that can be taken, even if you just entered, there will be a lot of people who enter to take it, and that resource will be gone.

solution

• Make it difficult to enter

• Ensure that resources can only be expropriated after sufficient resources are put out.

  • Make sure you get more out of it than you let out.

• No real harm if deprivable resources can be replicated.

• permissionless

• selection

  • Gates should be hidden.

• Difference between a non-replicable resource and a [replicable resource

• If the only resource that can be expropriated is the one that can be replicated, then take and go as you please.

• In OSS projects, source code is a replicable resource, so you can take it permissionless.

• Members' time and attention are not replicable resources, and moreover, they cannot be bought with money unprocurable resources.

  • This is fine for those who want to give, but not for those who want to take.
