What is Public Good to You

Hey @polynya , I am glad you agree with my definition of public.

blockchains are not public goods but rather common goods because they are rivalrous

With this line I need some more help, are you calling blockchain as rivalrous because of network congestion for example, in cryptokitties days, because of network congestion some of us were not able to use the chain. So by definition “If I consume the good, it must not have any effect on other’s opportunity to consume the same good” today’s blockchains are rivalrous.

When it comes to RPGF, we’ll probably have to broaden the definition a bit to include common goods etc

Totally agree with you on this, long term this should be our goal. I have screenshot that I took from one of the governance call which can summarize this really well.
