Many carry over inherited fiat mentalities bringing with them an entitlement to support without compensation due to their perceived value of their mission (i.e. support my art, my defense of the defenseless, i.e. the "important" work I'm doing in the world). If the marketplace isn't supporting any offering enough to cover expenses with surplus enough to enable growth without handouts, then maybe the offering isn't providing enough value to justify its operation.
Something for nothing is a fiat phenomenon. In the real world where real work has to be done, people place value according to what they have to pay for it; what is requested for free by many coming from privilege must be assumed to have little to no value. The same goes for those making offers of value without compensation, it must have no value if it has no price.
THIS is exactly why it will take generations for the v4v model to become commonplace.
Fiat mindsets request help without expecting to pay for it. Bitcoiners value their time/attention, goods, and sats too much to spend on those not interested in equitable trades.
Asking for anyone's attention, goods, and services without expecting to provide fair compensation is fiat behavior. doesn't matter how those scales are balanced, w/sats, USD, precious metals, or direct barter.
Seeking balance is simply the most moral behavior. Fiat systems built on corrupted foundations reward entitlements, a mindset that's difficult to see after a lifetime spent within the fiat box. Even for many bitcoiners...
Bitcoin's v4v model is simply Karma Yoga made measurable. Sats represent karma made countable.
