100 Days of learning – Day 10

OOld-timers know why “It’s [always] the COMMUNITY, stupid!” … you cannot understand economics or how massively large communities work until AFTER you have experienced what it is like to really have legit skin in the game.

“It’s [always] the COMMUNITY, stupid!” … you simply cannot understand economics or how the marketplace behaves or how massively large communities work until AFTER you have experienced what it is like to really have legit skin in the game, ie, has your skin touched the hot stove?
