You make a great point, so I'll do my best to illustrate. The Foundation will have stewardship of a reserve of tokens that we have planned for R&D, operations and other Foundation expenses. Couple that with the funds raised in the pre-sale and token sale and the Foundation will be very well positioned financially. Our hard cap is $38MM, which would represent roughly half of the token supply. The Foundation would have access to a token reserve of also roughly half, so just for the sake of discussion we can safely argue that we'll be funded to the tune of $70MM for the next fairly long while. (Please note that the proportions and numbers are very rough. There are calculations that come into play that I'm not privy to as yet, but our crypto-economists have a handle on.)
If we're talking about the long term, and you don't mind a little speculation on my part, I'd say that there are virtually limitless opportunities for revenue generation in the DAV ecosystem. Many of us at the Foundation are entrepreneurs, and we aren't likely to let clear opportunities pass us by. I could see, for example, creating a service that performed search-rescue-repair of malfunctioning autonomous drones, perhaps partly funded by a Foundation seed grant, and in return the Foundation receives a royalty in perpetuity from all revenues that come from that enterprise. But, like I said, that's far down the road, and I am speculating.
