Lynn Margulis suggests that evolving life is predicated upon the cooperation of cells and not competition. Symbiosis, not mutation, drives evolution by transferring whole genes from cell to cell instead of random point mutations in organisms' basic instruction set.
What if developers of Bitcoin, nostr, etc. reject (for the time being) modern market competition and embrace collaboration? Forming companies for profit seem to be flashing a target for regulatory pressures at this time.

Lynn Margulis sounds nice but the truth is that in real life Darwinism applies. And the most important thing to understand about Darwinism is that competition means in itself collaboration. If you eliminate competition, you will only undermine collaboration. Competition drives progress AND collaboration. An entire market/industry around Bitcoin is s blessing, not an enemy.

We'd need to find less permissioned means of funding such collaborations. Otherwise the best we can do is open source code and ideas.
People don't necessarily want to form companies, but obliviating them is a complicated problem that requires an innovation to solve.

There are too many legal ramifications of this. Even if people want to collaborate, the bureaucracy doesnt let them.
