[bisq-network/proposals] Bisq revenue generated by BTC trading fees belong to the contributors (#207)

@sqrrm, @beingindot, @all,

I agree that it is good news that there is a market maker with all the details you mentioned.

> Natural demand is from burning man and traders buying for fees. 

Exactly. However, the burning man spends Bisq revenue. If the burning man buys from a speculative trader, Bisq revenue goes to a speculative trader instead of contributors.

And that is exactly the point of this very proposal. 



### Closing thoughts
I consider this proposal as rejected. Sadly, I feel this is mostly because of misunderstanding. For the sake of completeness:
- this proposal does NOT try to alter the free market
- it merely tries to make sure to route the little Bisq revenue we have to the people actually making Bisq work.

I talked to @ManfredKarrer and others about the whole stuff beforehand and my understanding is that Bisq has been designed to be a company with its goal to create revenue for its employees to make a living of. If we fail in doing that, Bisq will become a pet project eventually and a pet project may not be able to take the burden of having hundreds of thousands of USD value going through it, especially the hostility that is going to follow.
