- If GDP = value of corporate productivity, programmable money = value of developer activity
- Thus, a network’s ability to earn a monetary premium, depends, to an arguably large degree, on the strength of its developer base. If developers abandon one network in order to build on another, whether due to improved UI/UX, computational efficiencies or simply a better perceived community and sense of belonging, the original network’s monetary premium should not be expected to hold its value over time if that developer base is not adequately replenished with equal or greater caliber
