I've paid little attention to bidbot economics, spending my attention on issues that I am more interested in, so I am probably failing to grasp this idea completely. That being said, I'm not convinced that using bidbots will prove appropriate for funding essential development of core blockchain infrastructure, due to variation in inflows, as well as potential mismatch with funding needs.

I will give this more thought, and don't consider this initial assessment final. I did want to mention my initial thoughts so that folks might refine my inadequate understanding, or address relevant issues raised.

Thanks!
