CONVERSATION STARTER: How are DApps (decentralized applications) best monetized???

in blockchain •  7 years ago 

With many blockchain services such as Etherdelta being popular due to offering P2P without transaction costs, what do you think are the best monetization strategies for these types of dapps in general?

This article on coinbase shows ethereum developers being exasperated at how many services offered through ICOs are really just centralized services in disguise and they call for more 'true' decentralized services. So what's the best way of monetizing true decentralized services?

The way I see it right now a main way of monetizing dapps on the ethereum bc is to simply get good stake through the tokens being issued for its ICO, effectively shareholding and waiting for scale and the price to go up. The second one is to monetize transactions indirectly by issuing something on the service that one has to buy in order to pay for transactions.

What are your thoughts on DApp monetization? What do you think some effective strategies are or might be?
