Why would a wealthy donor donate large amounts when the donation might be used to a high percentage for something the donor does not care about?

In summary, the quadratic funding is in between the democratic voting system (each vote has the same power, regardless how much money the voter has) and the standard crowd funding system (where more money means more power, regardless how many voters)

Knowing the formula, donors will tend to anonymize and fragment contributions. That cancels the motivation for many “philanthropists” who donate to virtue signal or put their name on a building.

That’s why it will probably be authorized by blockchain. But you could still bribe some random persons to vote with your money for a small percentage of it.

Lets say someone wants to fund getting one apple and some one else an apple tree? Likely there will be no funding for the tree and no apples can come out of many small investements that wants to buy apples. Many want one apple but few an apple tree but if there are no apple trees there are no apples. Most people are regular consumers and so this will not work for new inovations or improving a community in the long run.

As a beginner in this, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Jihan Wu is also my trade analyst, he has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
