good point.
in seth’s example, the “network coordinator” seems like an entity worth eliminating. and of course, sats should be the standard.
instead of a 25% cut going to some company in the middle, i wonder if some open source coordination software could enable unencumbered access for all

A reason why I am worried this might take a while to catch on is there is a perception that interoperability is bad.
Think of a video arcade. You put a dollar into a machine and get back 4 tokens. The games can take quarters just as easily, but they frequently don't.
Also reminds me of in-game item NFTs. This idea that all these different companies would let a sword from someone's game and a helmet from someone else's game be used on their game rarely happened. No game designer wanted to lose the chance of selling their own in-game item NFTs.
However, history shows that interoperable open networks beats walled gardens. I can earn sats playing THNDR's solitaire, and tip someone here, who tips someone on fountain, who hires someone on stakwork to do a transcript, etc.
Everyone elses work makes others' projects more valuable.
