We’ve been pondering upon how to make sure we build a truly decentralized product, community and company. It’s hard. But here I’ll share a mental model to evaluate the degree of decentralization of your system.Your system is as decentralized as your least decentralized subsystemBut how to measure decentralization? Balaji S had a great post (circa 2017) to measure Decentralization Retroactively, this post is about measuring Decentralization Proactively. https://news.earn.com/quantifying-decent...

2021 was about NFTs, here’s what we got wrong and why I think the real potential of NFTs hasn’t been exposed yet. NFTs that we saw in 2021 was all about signaling. You could flaunt your wealth in the offline world by driving a low clearance sports car on a bumpy road. But how do you flaunt wealth in the digital world? Consider this profile :There’s a famous NFT collection called CryptoPunks. There are exactly 10,000 crypto punk NFTs in the world. One of them numbered 6529 is owned by this use...
