Do You Know Where the Biggest Risk to the Anti-Cancer Commune Model Lies?
This risk does not come from regulation. I believe that as long as we hold to our original intention and keep improving our systems to be lawful and compliant, regulators will have no reason not to support us (or at least will not ban us). All along, when dealing with the media and the regulators, we have stressed many times: what we need most is regulation. Regulation can make us more trustworthy to members and help us solve all kinds of problems.
But this is still not the biggest risk.
The biggest risk comes from ourselves. If we cannot formulate fair and reasonable rules, if we cannot effectively solve various problems in execution (such as fraud), and if in the future members' cost-sharing burden becomes too heavy, then members will leave us. When the Commune cannot maintain the minimum number of people needed to run it (say 100,000), it will inevitably fall into a vicious cycle and naturally disintegrate.
Some people may not attach enough importance to this. By setting rights too large and enforcing them loosely, they may well become overwhelmed in the future. They may value short-term gain and rapidly recruit large numbers of members in the short term, but the long term is questionable.
Therefore, sustainability is our most important mission, more important than anything else. Long-term interests outweigh short-term interests. Only sustainability is truly responsible to members, and only sustainability can enable us to help more people.
