Outstanding episode. I love the insights, not sure I agree with the rosy outlook. Unless you can protect voting rights in the US and abroad, monopolies will eat all. If the blockchain was truly altruistic, the community would work on protecting actual democracy instead of claiming to democratize economy.
Very fair points. Thanks for the perspective. I dont think theres anything inherently good in technology or crypto either. It depends on how its structured and who is leading it. I do see the potential for content creators so that payments/contracts are more streamlined and payouts/royalties can be more complex because its locked in the block chain. To your point, I do hope crypto does not get politicized like a lot of things in culture these days. That would destroy its potential. I do like the opportunity to rethink the business model of the creator economy though. We’ll keep exploring the subject and get back to you!
