I just found out that New Zealand’s most densely populated island does not have sewerage treatment or town supply water servicing homes. That’s to give you an idea how populated this country is.

1/ Our starting points: the economy is a programmable space. It is catching up with the new substrate of high speed computer networks with high informational capacities, bandwidth and connectivity. They are elevating the economy into something that resembles an expressive medium.

Just called the @UA_Emb_FI that @Ukraine should ask for donations in NFTs and sell them in an auction. This, I believe, could make millions or tens of millions and show the powers of the amazing NFT and crypto community. 1/

Yes! Like cinema as a medium changed the form, nature and meaning of art, what money, debt, equity are is getting transformed by the new economic medium. Scholes said this in his Nobel speech: debt & equity are just institutional arrangements...time will blur their distinction.

Though we probably don't realise it, nobody yet knows what #Bitcoin wants to express itself as. It's a new medium, so far people are photocopying TradFi onto it, that's not what it wants to be. This baby will be its own animal.
