It should be pretty clear that the economy we have today is holding us back.
It's an amoral, debt-riddled system that is riven with corruption and wracked by periodic
bouts of extreme instability. Worse, on its current path, the 'turking" future it's building for
us is pretty damned grim.
Worse, there's no way to fix this system. No reform is possible. The rot is in the
foundation because it is has become obsolete. It's currently resting on assumptions that
are as out-dated, limited, and as dangerous as the agrarian, aristocratic economy it
replaced over the last couple of centuries.
This means there's only one way to replace it.
It can only be done through wholesale creative destruction. The new economy needs to
grow in a way the old system can't corrupt it.
The only vehicle that can do this quickly and in a way that yields a positive results is
something called a blockchain company. A company that operates using the same tech
that bitcoin uses.
A blockchain company isn't like any company you know.
It's not run organically (it doesn't have faux person-hood). It doesn't have CEO, COO or
effing board of directors. It doesn't go to a fund or a bank for funding. It never floats an
issue on Wall Street. Blockchain companies don't need all of that legal cruft and the
parasitic overhead that comes with it.
The entire company is simply open source software. It's built to provide a function and
divide up the rewards of providing that function to the participants.
A company like this runs as software, in the same way bitcoin is run: decentralized. That
means the company doesn't pivot, reorganize, or recapitalize. It either provides a useful
function it gets paid to do, or it doesn't. If it doesn't work, it is replaced by a new company
that does it better.

A blockchain company doesn't have shares of stock. Everything that it earns is paid to the
people in possession of the companies coin on a pro rata basis (using the blockchain
currency of choice). Ownership is simply a call on this revenue, and all it is paid out in real
time.
Earning a blockchain company's coin is done by the company's participants. You can earn
coin doing everything from providing cloud services to doing the same types of stuff you
already do online (writing, rating, and curating). There are ways to measure all of this and
connect these activities to revenue.
Investment, to the extent it is needed to launch a venture is crowdsourced, usually by
prepurchasing goods and services to be delivered in the future.
A blockchain company doesn't need Silicon Valley, Wall Street or Washington.
It just needs to be open, decentralized, and useful enough to suck value out of the old
economy.
Time horizon on this?
Five to ten years. When it rolls out, the old economy will look fairly quaint and stagnant in
comparison.
PS: It's a simple fact that almost all of the new value being created today is virtual. All of
this virtual value can be created by blockchain companies at rates and quality levels that
are orders of magnitude better than what we see today.
PPS: So far, most tech advances have only obsoleted discrete industries. This one is
aimed at the guts of the financial system and everything attached to it.
