Paradoxically, the reason why most people think NEAR can't 'grow much more/flip X' is the same reason why it is going to melt faces - namely, most ppl don't know much about it, yet.
Mind-blowing tech, delivered. Massive under-exposure in crypto portfolios, FOMO.

This model has two points of failure:
1) City residents would vehemently oppose tax dollar subsidising private business
2) Government would never hand out cash as dividend. They would increase their own salaries, pay themselves bonuses and ‘reinvest’
