"The idea is to become part of a movement."
Generally try to aim somewhere between the butterfly effect and just creating movements out of what needs adjusted... or for an experiment. Money is nice to have as with enough of it, you effectively relieve some stresses, but it's not the core driving force at least in my case.
You don't have to be a developer to see a good idea or concept and get behind it, ultimately it's the user that decides what flourishes or fails in a market, the user, community, market and/or consumer has the power.
