not cynical, full of hope, the British will always try to cure you of these aspects, fuck all to do with stupid
jaundice and damage haven’t had time to form a film on your soul and coagulate yet, not age discrimination but plan for the worst is only a cliche because it holds value
this is just a personal query with blockchain, where’s it all headed, what if it doesn’t know and ploughs on into much more shadowy realms? how do you irrigate anything necessary for the good of the planet when redistribution processes are built on a form of hoarding ie systemic disincentives to share? how do you unchain yourself from automata? (scraped a C at gcse maths, clearly)
Very speculative, much of the hope. I generally think these technical, taking into account the good and the bad, result in a net positive.
Capitalism is the worst system, aside from every other system, and so and so on.
But perhaps the major hypothesis with blockchain and defi is that people can outsource their income-generation to their assets. And if the state can be involved in issuing assets to people, as Miami's mayor is planning on doing, then we take a step toward this automated welfare utopia where people can afford to refine their skillsets to compete in higher order job markets, while their assets make their ends meet for them.
I expect there to be some major tech barons of the web3 era, larger than the tech barons of today, but even given todays arrangement, the internet is simply too big and complex for any one of them to dictate. The same may go for the blockchain ecosystem. Bitcoin alone is too much for any one party to take down, yet alone a collection of global, permissionless blockchains.
