know if they have to notify you legally that they're doing it but they probably do it because they think they should because they want to be transparent you know well speaking of which then kickstarter puts this up we know our community has a lot of questions about this new direction including how it will benefit creators it won't really and how we'll stay true to our environmental commitments we're listening we've started an faq uh with what we've been asked the most uh what is their faq let's go look at their faq so they added to their original announcement okay okay what does this new protocol mean for creators the first thing to know is kickstarter's mission remains the same kickstarter exists to help bring creative projects to life over time we believe we can make crowdfunding for creative projects more effective and more available to creators around the world not by changing the core experience but by allowing more people to build on top of it alongside us again we're gonna we're gonna give you the license to bottle your own coke this sounds more like kickstarter than other things they've done yeah imagine your dream tool for crowdfunding your project whether it's an easier way to get the word out to backers uh or taking the headache shipping so what they're gonna do is again bottle their workflow their engine and let other people run it off of their own website i actually think that's a pretty good idea i think it's a great idea i think it is a good idea i think it's a great way to reach other places you might not have reached before it's smart the new protocol is going to be developed by a new entity separate from kickstarter pbc we expect creators will benefit from the improvements made via the community's contributions to the underlying protocol blah blah blah basically we have hit a ceiling on how we can make money off of URL_TOKEN how can we make additional money oh we'll bottle kickstarter sell it to other people and then we'll take a cut of that money too but you can't tell people they can't do it you can't right and then well here does this mean okay here here you go does this mean at some point you'll only accept the cryptocurrency no backers can still use normal credit card debit cards and pledge campaigns and creators can continue to receive local currency to fill their projects you won't be required to back projects or accept funds and cryptocurrency so let me let me again talk about banks you do realize you can buy crypto on paypal now right but they didn't make a big deal about it but you can you can actually convert your paypal money into crypto a lot of these things that you guys probably use every day they have cryptocurrency ties now right you know that right no they don't because they didn't announce it they just did it like or they announced it but it was only on tech blogs because creatives get a hold of things and a lot of creatives frankly don't understand how the back end of this stuff works so they get their panties in a bunch about um you know legal misunderstandings that's a big one and technology not understanding the technology uh not understanding the business decisions behind creative decisions and they get themselves in trouble because then they just go out to twitter and blah blah blah blah blah i'm
