Where there is profit there is competition. As a miner years ago, i was able to produce a lot of bitcoins with my GPU setup. When the ASICs came out i tried to compete, but simply did not have the capital. But other people did. And it wasnt just one person, it was a few big companies that did this.

So no longer is the individual able to mine BTC, its now a profession. So if this happened to FLDC, that wouldnt really be a bad thing, because if it is to happen, then that would mean FLDC has gained enough value for someone to pour money into being the top folder. So then the economy of FLDC would be where the general public has the interest and the Folders would simply be a profession.
