Why I'm Betting on Decentralization (Despite Being Burned Before)
In The Boomer Mirage and You'll Own Nothing (and Be Happy). They'll Own Everything (and Be Ecstatic), I wrote about how fiat systems captured money, institutions, and culture. In From Fiat Everything to Real Everything, I explored what resistance looks like in the “real world,” but I got lots of comments and emails asking about the digital side. So much of our lives are online, so how do we navigate that? The answer, I believe, lies in truly decentralized infrastructure - though getting there requires learning from decades of failed attempts.
