I'd agree with you, little or no way for current projects to win. assuming win means build a successful online poker business. they need to change the rules with some of the concepts you are bringing forward.
yes they are.. each with their own self interests. again zero sum game to them.
Recent ico's have gathered millions if not billions. But I've already seen poker projects flop and I think its because they offere inferior solutions and also that the long past ico's have insider money being pumped into them (ie someone gets rich in bitcoin and creates an etherem project and puts a small fortune into it and so do their friends). I think organically these sales for poker sites will only attract $100k's at most and that isn't enough probably to recoup their start costs. Certainly not enough to mass market.
Changing a game from zero sum to not zero sum does not change the assumption that all parties are acting self interested. In fact this is always the assumption, the solution must rely on it to be stable and secure. And you need great stability and security in order to invoke the great energy needed to change to a higher equilibrium.

I'd be SHOCKED if they are not reading this thread.
I KNOW some are. More to the point, if they are informed and up to date on this dialogue and they aren't participating, how does that look on them? There is a different kind of pressure that is arising. The players are gaining leverage daily. Leverage they desperately needing in the two major boycott events they had. I think this is a situation is very relatable to game theory and so having thought leaders, ie really good poker players, getting up to date and participating could really have a changing effect in the short term.
