That’s an excellent point of course. A person can speculate about how the coin economy might develop.

There is little doubt that the bigger trend will be towards ai coins initially and eventually towards ai networks developed through taskwork coins. The initial ‘bitcoin’ idea of ‘it’s money that does nothing’ won’t last. The ‘ethereum’ idea of ‘developers are your leaders’ won’t last.

One problem with the current trajectory towards ai coins is the lack of any guidance in the broader crypto economy.

I see there hasn't been much activity here in a while lest the trolls, but lots of activity on many fronts for Nexus.

Zoom meetings discussing the development team updates are still happening.  Here is the latest development update https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRjFPQM7Krk

The Newsletter has been revived and is now posted on a quarterly basis.  The latest is here: https://medium.com/@NexusOfficial/nexus-community-and-development-quarterly-report-2e76c3bc8670

If you aren't on the Slack or Telegram group the best way to keep up to date with what is happening with Nexus is to follow @NexusOfficial https://twitter.com/NexusOfficial and @NexusCommunity https://twitter.com/NXSCommunity on Twitter.

Colin has been posting some good stuff on Twitter as well @ColinJCantrell https://twitter.com/colinjcantrell, so I'd recommend following him for insights into the tech side.

Colin was also just interviewed on Leak Project https://youtu.be/oNffTAvE1o4 where he discusses the Nexus ecosystem and how things have evolved and how Nexus is addressing problems that need to be solved on many levels.

Someone posted in Slack that crypto feels like 2016 right now and I agree!  The good news is Nexus is light years ahead of where we were in 2016 in terms of tech and scalability.

Onwards and upwards!

The core problem is that setting up and running a crypto exchange is a security nightmare, is extremely time-consuming and is largely thankless (both socially and financially). The upshot of this is that the whole idea is quite unattractive to someone with technical skills and who likes math coins.

AFAICT, Freebitcoins and Freiexchange are the closest realisations of your concept, the former has been introduced upthread in Bayareacoins' own words, the latter was originally created to provide a market for Freicoin, subsequently expanded modestly (in cryptoexchange terms) and continues to concentrate on providing an exchange service to many, if not most, continuing vintage altcoins.

I recommend to start reading here! I wonder further if his local tax office would be interested getting a notice about suspected undeclared income of how many thousands?
