It's safe to say that Dapps wont be qualified for this fund as there are other monetization mechanism available to them. Dapps are businesses.
for the past 2 and a half years, most if not all Steem Blockchain development was done by Steemit.inc, Steemit.inc is a private company, why do they need to develop Steem Blockchain? They dont own it.
Can anyone be Trusted?
IMO this is where real Reputation comes to play. Do i know you personally? no, but i do know that @bullionstacker is the guy behind #Whalepower initiative and you're good at that. Bitcoin Core is much much more decentralized than Steem and even they have a few single point of attack. (5 person are trusted to approve/reject what development goes through for Bitcoin, we know who they are).
I am glad that We do have Our Investors Funds that we have been Safe Guard for Our Own Developing and Progression without Dependent on Anyone.
Can you elaborate more on this? I dont understand..
