Great story! I’m a huge free-market advocate. In fact, I wish that Medium was a free-market. Right now, if I could, I’d give you $0.25 cents for this story. Unfortunately, Medium doesn’t facilitate micropayments. But RudeBagel does! You should sign up and share your story. And then you can help me poach/recruit more Medium writers. How many writers do you think Medium would have to lose before it decided to facilitate micropayments? Let’s find out!

If we can turn Medium into a market then how long until Wired becomes a market? How long until Huffington Post becomes a market? What are market haters going to write when the value of their articles is determined by the market? The dominoes will fall until the only place left without a market will be the public sector. But by then everybody will appreciate the value of markets.
