The world has always been a market.
A chaotic system where humans bring what value we have to bear to move life and society forward.
The internet has been our best tool for facilitating the world market.
Global, instant, frictionless. It's the ultimate market for human attention.
But huge gatekeepers take a massive chunk.
Tokens are the missing tool.
Tokens conceptually organize and coordinate value and ownership, at larger scale and greater granularity than we've ever had.
But even the internet is too inefficient to manage this.
Without ownership and value built into the internet, we had to duct-tape ancient analog financial rails to this instant digital market.
It was too inefficient. Too slow. We paid too much.
We needed a next version of the internet.
Now we have crypto.
An even better system for coordinating information and value, at grander scale, even cheaper.
We used to just have money, finished products, views and likes.
Now, tokens represent more. All forms of value.
Now, we have an even better system where we bring to bear our most inherently human attributes more directly.
Our attention, taste, curation, love, belonging, are valuable. Always have been.
Now, we can bring these more directly, more efficiently, more effectively.
The abstraction gets thinner. No intermediaries.
The marketplace that is our world now does its job even better.
Facilitates humans bringing our value to bear to move life and society forward.
Comma Partners is a new-paradigm crypto fund at the frontier of community, technology, culture, and capital.
I wrote that description a long while ago because I had a vision, but I didn't know how we'd get there.
Now, I do.
Community, technology, culture, and capital are all converging. They will all be the same thing.
Value.
Crypto is technology that enables this to happen.
Tokens are the tool that makes it happen.
