hahaha... yes you just ate up 1/2 your daily RCs on that comment :) ... very good analysis and I completely agree. I hope they realize what a bullshit position it puts @steemmonsters in (along with the other apps as you mentioned). Matt quit his job to work full-time on steemmonsters, so I hope to hell they have a solution to quickly support that project. I too support them and participated in their Kickstarter, and frankly if they go, then I'd follow because I think its a helluva a good idea.
I'm not getting into the technical aspects of the RCs (I love your tax analogy), because I am a simple guy. If people that are average and ordinary can use it and have fun (and maybe earn a little too), then I'm confident it will be accepted. But if they have to use their mana to do things that most would think are free, then they will simply cease to do those things. Its a simple concept and I hope to hell these guys learn it sooner rather than later!
Thanks for the comment and for using 1/2 of today's RCs :)
