good writeup, I appreciate the graphics.
Thoughts:
- Increasing coretime demand is very high in the hierarchy of possible goals, but not the only one; for example the advancement of Web3 or the delivering of value to humanity as a whole might align with the core values of Polkadot, but not be directly measurable in coretime usage.
- There are more immediate goals that can be argued to feed into increased coretime usage, but might not immediately measurable or only indirectly correlated. For example, initiatives working to improve the developer experience in the ecosystem will arguably lead to increased coretime usage in the future, but will have only minimal short-term impact. Initiatives working towards the establishment of value-adding collectives might increase short-time usage, but could be hard to measure in a direct way.
- As a next step, it would be useful to more explicitly lay out how “coretime collectives” can be imagined.
