Bandwidth is zero sum. That is, I cannot store bandwidth Elsewhere when/if
the Nomic Market gets off the ground (in Thermo we found it needs a lot more
work) without losing that bandwidth now. I can't cause the sort of
too-many-proposals bandwidth prevents, since I only get the same amount of
bandwidth. And wouldn't it be a good thing to have people able to say "I
like your proposal and hereby give you the bandwidth to do it with" so the
correct person gets the points when it passes? In Thermo, we have to destroy
in order to create. Ordinarily we destroy our own Coins; if you don't have
enough you can get people to offer their Coins in support.
