Excellent post, I agree with many of the things you are sharing here. But as a newbie, it is this huge scope of BTS that scares me and I think a lot of others. It is trying to be the "ONE THEORY"? while there are all kinds of Big Bang models out there creating smaller Universes? It may win out in the end to become the Universal solution but at this stage by attempting to do so many things at once, it will not generate enough interest from any one group just looking for one specific solution and so they leave to another platform that is doing that one thing really well. I am very new at this, but I am from the beginning looking for something that completely forbids any government or institution from Using the age old Majority Rule BS to commit atrocities on my behalf with my money and or shutting me down because I did not sign up for their insanity. I guess I'm saying leadership is all good, but I'm not a fan of being told "here he or she is Leader" Democracy is great but no thanks when it comes to this, I'm all about Autonomy. Which is what I think @Stan meant when he said that they are creating the right environment for natural leaders to evolve and assume those roles.
