I have been thinking a lot about "value," lately.
Value also might have a "time factor" built in, when it comes to looking at ideas. As in "an idea that was ahead of its time." A lot of brilliant folks who are "pioneers" in their fields might think their idea is value-less because nobody seems to care, but then someone will revisit that idea 10 years down the road when some crucial element has changed... could be public perception, could be technology, could be something else.
The thing that sometimes worries me is the focus on immediacy in our world... when you talk about monetization of ideas, some very bad ideas can be successfully monetized. Here in the cryptosphere, just consider the late, not-so-great Bitconnect...
Personally, I like the idea of POB as a sort of "think tank" and "idea factory" within the greater stream of the Hive ecosystem. Of course, one of th challences of "value" is whether or not something can withstand the drain of those who want to extract value, rather than invest in it, i.e. far more sellers than buyers.
