Or perhaps better put,

Let’s throw things on the wall… and see what sticks

(And why we want that)

slide-4
SLIDE 4

🦆

“Micro” (intra-network) governance, e.g.

So what am I going to talk about? Communities NOT blockchains

slide-5
SLIDE 5

🦆

The most successful projects will be communities, not startups

slide-6

Well, what's the point?

“Centralized system[s] will necessarily need people who are not directly exposed to the cost of errors”

Nassim Taleb, Skin in the Game

slide-14
SLIDE 14

🦆

“Computers and networks are cheap… computer science secures money [and scales society] far better than accountants, police, [politicians,] and lawyers”

Nick Szabo, Money, blockchains, and social scalability

slide-15
SLIDE 15

🦆

Do you really want to trust those without skin in the game to maximize your community’s ability to socially scale?

Governance can be experimented with at the speed of software

(let’s throw things on the wall and see what sticks)

  • 1. Primitives-focused
  • 2. Default to opt-in
  • 3. Interchangeable, malleable components

Core design tenets

Trusted Logical decentralization Trust minimized Logical centralization
