“Pursuing Permissionless”

(a thread)

Permissionless is highly undervalued and not being mentioned enough. Especially in the context of an eastern society where kids growing up in permission-only setup

Any permissionless movement is a liberty movement

Prior to the internet, you are only permitted to read the permitted information from permissioned channels such as newspapers and TV

All are pre-filtered and editorial content with highly skewed information and data collections

Today even tho there is algo driven echo chamber on social media, but access to information and publishing is relatively permissionless

(assuming you have free access to the broader internet, even in China VPN is common know-how for its educated netizens already)

Internet’s core character is permissionless, out of everything else, for both access and publishing, at the information transfer layer.

However there is human effort involved in publishing in a identity base real life, there where the permissioned monster crawl in

I grew up in a top junior high in mainland, where girls are not allowed to keep their hair longer than the shoulder. so you can get a sense on the level of permissioness in Chinese society

Permissionless blockchain is another value transfer layer on top, for both monetary access and issuance (as internet does to publishing) , a manifestation of a free market and true liberty of future economy

You need to get rid of the identity association with any non-online elements, in order to pusure permissionless information and value transfer

the biggest choking points are credential log-in out of the centralized system, and fiat on-off ramp

Permissionless is the fundamental building block of self-sovereignty: data, money, and any kind of “productive ownership"

It'll release a massive creative explosion of what’s previously considered niche obsession and unorthodox, lead to a path of true self-discovery and liberty
