Some thing’s decentralization actually makes sense for: - money (private) - access to AI - asset exchange / speculation - crowdfunding Probably missing some things, but I think those are essential to ensure are public goods that can’t be shutdown 🧵

Money (private) We all get this one. It’s why most of us are here. Money we know isn’t getting printed irregularly and that cannot be shutdown by a government Essential for freedom

Access to AI Going to be more and more important as AI becomes so good it’s essential

Asset exchange / speculation I think markets are essential for individual freedom They show powers that be the reality, talk is cheap but capital moving actually speaks volumes Access to speculate or swap between assets needs to be available to everyone

Crowdfunding I think it’s insane only “accredited” investors get access to the earliest stages of capital formation on new ideas If you let people gamble at casinos legally you should let them choose to invest in startups
