         | And having transaction fees is a good way to try different
         | models. Good ideas with aligned incentives should be
         | celebrated.

         | Don't forget, the alternative would've still been the
         | traditional "pay some defense contractor millions to do a
         | shitty job and then pay them millions more to improve it"
