We've known this was highly unlikely until Stacker News grows significantly. That any territories are breaking even is great, as is others being close.

You can also factor in how much you make back in activity on the territory: i.e. my ~econ posts get zapped, as do @grayruby's sports posts. We need the territories to exist for that.

Most territory owners are doing out of humanitarian reasons though. They want to build a place for bitcoiners to have these communities.
