1/ Thread from #CESSummit2019.

Starting with @neha @socrates1024's overview of the "why" for this event:

- Catalyzing a new interdisciplinary academic field to increase signal-to-noise.
- Experimenting with peer review, and how it should interoperate with IRC, forums, Twitter.
@neha @socrates1024 2/ @ittaia on Decentralized Trust. Looking at "who can vote?"

- Proof of Authority (Libra, POA)
- PoW (Bitcoin)
- PoS (ETH 2.0, Tendermint)
- PoSpace (Chia)

All of these abstract to "money". Ittai asks: which ones lead to plutocracy, monopoly, and bribery?

#CESSummit2019
@neha @socrates1024 @ittaia 2b/ @ittaia differentiating between voting rights and voting protocol (consensus protocol).

First choose voting right, *then* choose voting protocol.

(Though it seems like PoW strongly implies Nakamoto consensus?)
