Some really interesting points.
I think the collaboration comment is what shines through. I suspect the real reason people think they can’t run a territory is they can’t afford the sats, the reality is they would struggle to find the time….
A Venetian merchant agreement between the ship/territory investor and ship/territory captain? Much like the manager model you suggest but with each bringing different skills in partnership?
Great analogy. Yes. Good point about struggling to find the time. It's been tough for me lately as IRL gets in the way!

Life has a way of doing that… and when I look back on my day I think I could have squeezed some extra minutes in here-and-there…..but it’s not always the quantity of time that is in short supply but the quality.
Territory management, like mainstream social media work, must requires reputation, planning & engagement to be successful…ie quality time. I suspect some people have a nasty surprise that being an enthusiastic Bitcoiner is not enough to run a bad territory on SN anymore than liking viral dance videos makes you a TicToc’er.
There are few SNers with the necessary presence and persistence to make a territory work … I would consider you one. And by your own admission it involves work.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but the proof will be in the pudding (old man expression). I am pretty sure I will need help/collaborators to be successful. Was that hint too subtle, book man?

‘Proof of the pudding’ always makes me think of my Aunts Christmas pudding… that was about 20% I think lol.
Always happy to help if I can… is that reply vague enough? Could do another ‘bitcoin-adjacent’ book review perhaps. Those who struggle to find the time to write should probably try and review at least…..
reply
I'll take what I can get for now. Another book review would be great. That's the kind of content I envision for the territory.
reply
Ok. I may have to stick to the classics for now (and books that have previously been mentioned in Weekend Recommendations that I personally know very well).
Let me go through my shelves….. if you feel the last format worked I’ll try that again.
I would like to publish my own stuff or review new BTC specific books…. one day.
reply
Great plan. I hope you do post your own stuff eventually. One writer has been publishing a book chapter by chapter.
reply
I have seen that. Not sure I would be brave enough to go chapter by chapter.
