This takes time and personal investment from everyone as the psychology of scarcity is hard to shake and replace with one of abundance.

...the psychology of scarcity is based in the real world. It's a psychology based in common sense.
and 'abundance'? - is a utopian concept.
See the scarcity of the rewards pool ?- that's real - as opposed to it' s abundance....?
