RE: https://mastodon.social/@Blender/116482997785333001

Reputation is one of the most valuable things any social project has. It can inspire people to do great things together.

Money is, *waves hand*, helpful; but just a thing. It's not valuable in itself, only in what things it can be transacted to get people to do for you.

If you trade inspiration for transactional power, then you no longer need to lead people, just money.

And money just isn't as valuable as people.
