The Blockchain capabilities are being built, but that is not where I start. I start with the size of the biggest problems in the world. Because now we can hope to tackle them. The Blockchain is not trickle down. You necessarily have to start with the dollar a day people. Their problem is your problem. If I could get a correctly structured DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) populated by enough Afghan refugees who reside in free-speech countries, I could topple the Taliban. I am confid...

I saw this diagram many years ago. It shows all the many big companies that emerged each of which tackled just one small segment of what Craig’s List did. You could go with the phrase Unbundling Craig’s List. Craig Newmark never bothered with a Craig’s List 2.0. The first version is still chugging along. It is still in business. When I look at the Blockchain, I see something like this, only much, much larger. Google is not your local library digitized. When you digitize a service, you birth a...

In geometry, before you can move on to bigger things, you have to define a point, a line. Just from those two definitions, you end up with all sorts of shapes. That that line need not be straight led to mathematics that helped Einstein describe space-time curvature. I think there are postulates emerging on the Blockchain that will allow us to tackle some of the biggest problems on the planet. One is inequality. I like to say, if you are serious about fighting climate change, fight inequality....

Instead of starting with what the tech is and what it can do, I think the newly emergent Blockchain allows us to start with the problems, the biggest problems humanity faces. The number one global problem is the problem of identity. And that is curious because each of us walks around with our own unique identity literally on our fingertips. A thumb press on a smart screen, either a phone or a tablet, should be enough to get anyone started. That identity could be established anywhere, and carr...

You necessarily have to reimagine banking to reimagine the state. Cisco made money while it helped build the Internet, a small portion of it. People who are buying Bitcoin are helping build the Blockchain. One gripe is that less than 1,000 people own 15% of Bitcoin which is worth $180 billion as of October 2021. But in December 2017, that was 40%. Another October 2021 figure is that 10,000 people, or 1% of those holding Bitcoin, control one-third of the supply. Instead of shared prosperity, a...

I have read some lucid lucid essays by Marc Andreessen on topics in tech. Here is but one example, Marc talking Bitcoin back in 2014. In a two-party democracy, the choice is binary and we all make mistakes. You have a democratic right to vote for, vouch for one of the two candidates. I get that. But Trump is different. And if you are still pining for him a full year after January 6 (Bin Laden's Fantasy, Trump's Reality) I am going to be suspicious. I understand differences in opinio...

When Elon Musk bought almost 10% of Twitter, he was duly invited to come to sit on the Board. Musk declined. Remember, Musk did not launch Tesla. He took over. Now his intention seems to be to take over Twitter. To redo it. He obviously has big plans. He is the Twitter King. Of all the people on Twitter who have the largest following, he is easily the most active. He lives on Twitter. The Prime Minister of India has a lot of followers, but I doubt he tweets himself. He has a large team behind...

Months on a space station the human body starts losing its grip, the eyeballs, the joints, all sorts of places. Ends up earthly gravity is a great need of the human body. Just look at the seasons on earth. A little tilt gives such variation. The earth is immaculately placed. It is just the right distance from the Sun. The moon gives earth much-needed stability. The surface of Mars is more hostile, physically speaking, than the deep ocean, and I don’t see Elon colonizing the deep ocean. And th...
