Cool. But creating a new category is needed before you create products to fill it.
A new data/payment structure is a new category/use case.
Get people using it within current habits first. Then they'll demand your newer, better tools.

Also, as a biz owner, I'd much rather pay $8/seat for unlimited Slack usage and never have to think about it than a metered/micro $ model.
Not everything is improved with micropayments.

Also also, you're mostly solving problems people don't know they have. Not felt needs.
"Use a new app when you're not unhappy with Slack" is tough.
"Use this plugin that makes Slack more fun" is easier, and can lead to "I wish Slack was more optimized"
Everything y’all write on slack is being read by the VCs who invested in slack. Every innovation and discussion you have is being milked and categorized to be stolen from you and sold back to you at a later date. You pay for that.
Bitcoin fixes this.
That's a completely different value prop.
The privacy/own your data pitch will win over some people. Good niche to target. (Like DuckDuckGo does with search)
But very few have reason to be concerned rn about slack secrets being stolen.
Fine me a VC who can take an idea from Slack message and make viable business to compete with me.
Ideas are way less valuable than people imagine.
Doubt it's worth anyone's time to scour Slack channels looking to steal them.
PS - bitcoin is a public ledger
Twetch did which is why we’ve rolled our own.
Bitcoin ledger is public though, so scanning messages there also possible unless encrypted, and I suspect Slack and others could also be encrypted.
As does Rocket Chat
