We need to build protocols for every aspect of life.

Let me break that down for you…

Andreas M. Antonopoulos in his talk quote, “We have yet to discover a civilization old enough that didn’t have money”.

From the Barter system to our current economy, there has always been a way to transfer money, from one person to another.

Let’s look at it this way.

There has always been a way to transfer value from one person to another.

What is the end goal of money anyway, to transfer value right?! The issue in today’s society is that money is given so much importance, that people forgot at the end of the day, it’s all about trading value.

Try imagining a society without money but still able to trade value. How can such a society be built? How to build an economy such that it is ingrained in the mechanics of life that people focus on the end value rather than the means goal which is money(or some form of it).

That is what we need to build. We need to build enough protocols(languages that unify people) until we reach a protocol that everyone agrees to. I will break down the mechanics of how this will work in future articles.

Thank you!

I always found it difficult to explain convincingly to someone why blockchain is needed. The blockchain economy is born out of uniform(peer-to-peer) architecture. The world today is born out of a hierarchical architecture. Everything is hierarchical. Even the way you think. The suffering in today’s world is because of this. Everything can be pointed to one node on the top which will be the root cause of all problems below it.
