notes:

1. Where does MToTm fit in the Vitaliks model? Public goods are an important topic in any large-scale ecosystem, but they are also often surprisingly tricky to define.

The revenue-evil curve of a product is a two-dimensional graph that shows the answer to the question, "How much harm would the product's creator have to do to their potential users and the wider community to earn $N of revenue to pay for building the product?"

Focusing on projects where each dollar of subsidies reduces the evil needed to make the project possible by making it less important to make money.

Gitcoin - small grants to buy and burn GTC token No revenue model, and not charging a percentage anywhere

How does core contributors benefit? Consumers of the product pay for commits

How does one drive money from projects back into MToTM

By having more than one org, we can try multiple strategies Multiple Entities allow multiple methods of engagement
