The same way your dollar goes into some rich person's pocket … and eventually back into a pay check (okay so it's not a great example because of bottlenecks to the "velocity of money"), also, the simple awareness of concurrent needs, potential fulfillment of those needs, and thriving cycles of value flows, is enough to make the economy work without any sums or balances!</p>

PayPal and Patreon were easy to set up. It was really hard to figure out how to fund what I think is a critical piece of ensuring longevity of the Fedi-- distributing funds within. The <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Bonfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bonfire</span></a> instance gave me the link to VF.
