>doesn't understand the limits of altruistic contribution
The core Monero project subsists entirely on altruistic contributions.
General Fund: requires donations to not dry up.
CCS: requires donations to fund development, research, education and audits.
MAGIC Monero Fund: requires donations to fund development, research, education and audits.
Not to mention all the rampant volunteerism, a large share of Monero's ecosystem is maintained by unpaid contributors: coders, researchers, node operators, writers, designers, MoneroChads who all DO IT FOR FREE for some inexplicable reason.
In other words, altruism totally never works except when it actually does.
Cue the salty autistic screeching, I fucking love it.
