1/ Markets are a powerful technology meant to serve society’s virtues, but markets are dangerous as a virtue system in-and-of themselves: unchainedpodcast.com/chris-burniske…
2/ With crypto we have an opportunity to program behaviors that manifest the virtues we want to see in the world, and then allow market values to guide society towards those virtues.
3/ We are already witnessing a situation of relative chaos and discontent in the physical world, a perfect opportunity to provide solutions to those discontents -- these things do not happen by coincidence, they culminate together.
4/ The trouble is, society is predisposed to repeat its past, or at least rhyme, often perpetuating the same virtues it grew up observing.
5/ If we aren’t intentional as crypto is being born, then replicating the meatspace mess in the digital space is the default outcome.
6/ If, instead, we can accept that all capital & coordination is formed from expectation, then we can work to change our expectations of the inputs and outputs of human contributions to society, giving everyone a baseline of decency.
7/ The opportunity to craft the future we want to see is always ours, but this moment in time is particularly important, because with the digital world we have a relatively blank slate of state to design from.
